Such order shall be effective immediately. Any person to whom such order is directed shall comply immediately, but on application to the director, such person shall be afforded a hearing not later than ten days after receipt of such application. On the basis of such hearing, the director shall continue, modify, or revoke such order within thirty days after such hearing.
