Any rejection or denial of approval of an HMPC Plan by the administering agency may be appealed to the governing body of the jurisdiction in which the facility for which the plan is submitted is located. As soon as practicable following receipt of notice of the appeal, the governing body shall conduct a public hearing into the matter and, after consideration of all evidence and testimony relative to an appeal, shall, by majority vote, uphold the findings of the administering agency or may modify the requirements of the HMPC Plan for the particular facility as it may deem appropriate so long as modifications are in compliance with the intent of this chapter which is to promote and secure protection of human health, property and the environment against present or potential hazards occasioned by the uncontrolled release of hazardous materials into the environment.
