1. Where the Commission shall find that
any of the provisions of land use regulations prescribed in an ordinance
adopted in accordance with the provisions of NRS
548.410 to 548.435 , inclusive, are
not being observed on particular lands, and that such nonobservance tends to
increase erosion on other lands and is interfering with the prevention or
control of erosion on other lands within a land use district, the Commission
may present to the district court having jurisdiction a petition, duly
verified:
(a) Setting forth the adoption of the ordinance
prescribing land use regulations, the failure of the defendant land occupier to
observe such regulations, and to perform particular work, operations or
avoidances as required thereby, and that such nonobservance tends to increase
erosion on such lands and is interfering with the prevention or control of
erosion on other lands within the land use district; and
(b) Praying the court to require the defendant to
perform the work, operations or avoidances within a reasonable time and to
order that, if the defendant shall fail so to perform, the Commission may go on
the land, perform the work or other operations or otherwise bring the condition
of such lands into conformity with the requirements of such regulations, and
recover the costs and expenses thereof, with interest, from the occupier of
such land.
2. In all cases where the person, in
possession of lands, who shall fail to perform such work, operations or
avoidances shall not be the owner, the owner of such lands shall be joined as a
party defendant.
