  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
     After the hearing, the drainage board shall determine whether or not it will assume jurisdiction and perform the work proposed, if any, and shall issue its order accordingly, which order shall be known as the “final order of determination”. The final order of determination shall contain the description of the bed, tributaries, banks and flood plains of the river, creek or watercourse over which jurisdiction has been assumed and shall be recorded in the county records in the county in which any part thereof is located. After recording, no constructing, excavating, land filling, removing of structures, trees, plants or shrubs, dumping or discharging of sewers or drains shall be permitted or continued in the bed, tributaries, banks or flood plains of the river, creek or watercourse within the recorded description thereof, except upon written order or permit issued by the drainage board.
