proposed project. If it appears to the department the assessments have not been made
equitably, the department may proceed to correct the assessments. The department's correction
and adjustment of assessments is final. If it appears to the department the project has been
improperly located or designed, the department may order a relocation and redesign, which
must be followed in the construction of the proposed project. Any landowner claiming to receive
no direct benefit from the project may appeal to the department the question of whether there is
any direct benefit. The appeal must be filed with the department within ten days after the
hearing on assessments in section 61-24.8-17. The department may not determine the specific
amount of benefit upon an appeal by an individual landowner and may determine only if there is
any direct benefit to the landowner. The determination of the department upon the appeal is
final.
