Any person aggrieved by a final threshold determination of significance, final determination of nonsignificance, or inadequacy of a final EIS in the case of Process I, II, and III application types (as described in Chapter 18A.20 LMC, Article I) may file an appeal. Such appeals shall be considered by the Hearing Examiner in conjunction with any required hearing for the project application, or as a separate hearing if no predecision hearing is required. An appeal of a determination of significance may be considered by the Hearing Examiner prior to the hearing on the proposed action or permit. Appeal of intermediate steps under SEPA (e.g., lead agency determination, scoping, draft EIS adequacy) shall not be allowed. In the case of Process IV and V applications (as described in Chapter 18A.20 LMC, Article I) the determinations of the environmental official shall be considered final, and no administrative appeal is allowed.
