161A.49 PETITION FOR COURT ORDER.
The commissioners shall petition the district court for a court
order requiring immediate compliance with an administrative order
previously issued by the commissioners as provided in section
161A.47, if:
1. The work necessary to comply with the administrative order is
not commenced on or before the date specified in such order, or in
any supplementary order subsequently issued as provided in section
161A.48, unless in the judgment of the commissioners the failure to
commence or complete the work as required by the administrative order
is due to factors beyond the control of the person or persons to whom
such order is directed and the person or persons can be relied upon
to commence and complete the necessary work at the earliest possible
time.
2. Such work is not being performed with due diligence, or is not
satisfactorily completed by the date specified in the administrative
order, or when completed does not reduce soil erosion from such land
below the limits established by the soil and water conservation
district's regulations.
3. The person or persons to whom the administrative order is
directed advise the commissioners that they do not intend to commence
or complete such work. Section History: Early Form
