41-8-111. Inclusion of additional land; detaching land; change of boundaries; change of name.| (a) Petitions for including additional territory within an existing watershed improvement district may be filed with the board of supervisors, and in such cases the proceedings herein provided for with respect to petitions to organize watershed improvement districts shall be observed to the extent deemed practicable in acting upon petitions for the inclusion. In determining whether the operation of a watershed improvement district, including such additional territory, will be administratively practicable and feasible, the board of supervisors shall advise and consult with the directors of the existing watershed improvement district. Where the total number of owners of land in the area proposed for inclusion shall be less than ten (10), the petition may be filed when signed by a majority of the owners of land in the area, representing a majority of the acreage contained in the area, and in such case no referendum need be held. If the board of supervisors make a determination in favor of the inclusion of additional territory, it shall certify the fact of the inclusion of additional territory to the county clerk of the county or counties in which the watershed improvement district is situated. After being recorded, the certificate of the board of supervisors shall be filed with the secretary of state and a copy thereof shall be filed with the state conservation commission.  (b) The owner or owners of land which has not been, is not, and cannot be benefited by its inclusion in the watershed improvement district may petition the board of supervisors to have the land withdrawn. The petition shall describe the land and state the reasons why it should be withdrawn. A hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days after the petition is received. Due notice of the hearing shall be given by the board of supervisors. If it is determined by the board of supervisors that the land has not been, is not, and cannot be benefited by its inclusion in the watershed improvement district, the land shall be withdrawn from the district. A copy of such determination and withdrawal shall be certified to the county clerk of each county in which any portion of the withdrawn land is situated. After being recorded, the certification shall be filed with the secretary of state and a copy thereof shall be filed with the state conservation commission.  (c) Petitions for a change in the boundaries of watershed improvement districts may be filed with the board or boards of supervisors of the conservation district or districts to be affected. The board of supervisors of the conservation district or joint board of supervisors if more than one (1) conservation district is affected may require the hearings or referenda as it deems appropriate to enable it to make a determination as to the desirability of the proposed change. If the board of supervisors or joint board of supervisors makes a determination in favor of the change in boundaries, it shall certify the fact of such change to the county clerk of the county or counties in which the watershed improvement district is situated and shall notify the board of directors of the watershed improvement district, setting out in the notice the new boundaries of the district. After being recorded, the certificate of the board of supervisors shall be filed with the secretary of state and a copy thereof shall be filed with the state conservation commission.  (d) Petitions for a change of name of a watershed improvement district may be submitted to the board or board of supervisors of the conservation district or districts in which the watershed improvement district is situated. If the board of supervisors approves the change of name, it shall certify the fact of the change of name to the county clerk of the county or counties in which the watershed improvement district is situated and shall notify the board of directors of the watershed improvement district of the change. After being recorded, the certificate shall be filed with the secretary of state and a copy thereof shall be filed with the state conservation commission.
