  If the owner of any lands within the district desires, he may appeal from any decision of the supervisors to the state board. To establish such an appeal, he must submit his appeal in writing to the state board within thirty days after the date of the action of the supervisors from which the appeal was taken. The notice of appeal shall state the particular part of the decision of the supervisors from which an appeal is being taken, if less than the entire decision is being appealed from, and shall state in simple and concise language the reasons why the owner considers the decision to be improper.    Within twenty days following the receipt of such written appeal, the state board shall notify, in writing by registered mail, the person making such appeal and the local board of supervisors of the time and place it will hear the appeal. Such hearings shall be held not less than ten days nor more than a period spanning two consecutive meetings of the state board following the mailing of the notice.    At the time and place set forth in the written notice for such meeting, the state board shall hear any persons in interest who desire to be heard in favor of or against the order as finally entered by the supervisors and shall make its decision thereon, which shall be entered in the minutes of the state board.       Repealed.    No action shall lie in any court of law to set aside or alter the final decision of the state board unless the petitioner or plaintiff therein alleges and shows to the court that the supervisors, in the rules or decision complained of, were guilty of gross carelessness or abuse of discretion, nor shall any action be maintained in such behalf unless the petitioner or plaintiff therein alleges and shows to the court that he has exhausted all rights of appeal provided in this section.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 35 - Agriculture|Article 72 - Soil Erosion - Dust Blowing - 1954 Act|§ 35-72-102. Duty of Landowner - Liability for Damage

  To conserve property and the natural resources of the state and to prevent the injurious effects of blowing soil, it is the duty of the owner or occupier of any land in this state to prevent soil blowing therefrom, as nearly as can be done, by planting perennial grasses, shrubs, or trees or annual or biennial crops and by treatment consisting of listing, chiseling, and similar practices at such times and in such manner as will prevent or minimize erosion of the soil and soil blowing. If soil blowing is evident, such practices shall include, to the extent practicable, leaving stubble residue on top of the soil.    Any owner or occupier who sustains damages to his property, including but not limited to crops, grasslands, fences, fencerows, irrigation canals, ditches, or livestock, proximately caused by the failure of any other owner or occupier of other land to discharge his duty to prevent soil blowing from land he owns or occupies may recover actual damages from the other owner or occupier by bringing an action in any court of competent jurisdiction.    Any unit of state government or any agency of the state or federal government which sustains damages to any of its property, including but not limited to roads, barrow ditches, or fences, proximately caused by the failure of an owner or occupier to discharge his duty to prevent soil blowing from land he owns or occupies may recover actual damages from such owner or occupier by bringing an action in any court of competent jurisdiction.    Such recourse to the court may be taken only upon demonstration that such owner, occupier, unit, or agency of government allegedly sustaining damages has submitted a written report of soil blowing to the board pursuant to section 35-72-103.    In any action brought under this section, any preventive practice followed by an owner or occupier pursuant to a citation issued by a board pursuant to the provisions of section 35-72-103 is not an admission of tort liability, in any such action, and no determination of the board shall give rise to a presumption of negligence or lack of negligence of an owner or occupier.    The provisions of this section shall not apply to any land less than one acre in area.     History. Source: L. 54, 2nd Ex. Sess.: P. 22, § 2. CRS 53: § 128-3-2. C.R.S. 1963: § 128-3-2.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 35 - Agriculture|Article 72 - Soil Erosion - Dust Blowing - 1954 Act|§ 35-72-105. Method of Assessment

  Upon the completion of the treatment caused to be performed by the board as provided in section 35-72-103, the board shall, by resolution, determine what land benefits and from which soil is blowing and assess against the owner of the benefited land the actual cost of the treatment not in excess of forty dollars per acre or the actual cost of treatment, whichever is less, in one calendar year. The board shall record the resolution in the minutes of the board, deliver the original to the county assessor, and send a copy by registered mail to the landowner at the address shown on the records of the county assessor and to the occupier, if known to the board.    Upon delivery of said resolution to the assessor, he shall extend the same upon the assessment rolls, and said assessment shall thereupon become a part of the general taxes and constitute a lien against said land as set forth in said resolution and shall thereafter become due in the same manner and be collected in the same manner as the general ad valorem property tax. Such assessment may be paid at any time before general taxes become due and payable. All of the provisions of the general laws for the enforcement of the collection of taxes shall be applicable thereto after the extension by the assessor.    All such amounts collected shall be transmitted to the county treasurer, who shall credit the same to the county general fund in order to reimburse those funds which were expended by the board of county commissioners in carrying out the treatment action as authorized by this article. The county treasurer shall not be entitled to collect any fees for the collection of such assessments.     History. Source: L. 54, 2nd Ex. Sess.: P. 23, § 5. CRS 53: § 128-3-5.
