The hearing shall be conducted at such place as designated by the Department. The Director shall give written notice of the time and place of hearing, by registered or certified mail, to the owner, operator, licensee, or applicant, as the case may be, at least 20 days before such hearing. The Director or Hearing Officer shall permit the licensee, applicant, person, or unit of local government to appear in person or to be represented by counsel at the hearing at which time such party shall be afforded an opportunity to present all relevant matter in reference thereto.
