If the board of supervisors of any conservation district is advised, in writing, that soil is blowing from any land, or if any land in the county, roads or public property is being damaged, as the result of blowing soil, the board shall inspect the land. If the board finds soil is blowing from the land in excess of local conservation district standards to the point that it is injurious to other land, roads or public property, the board shall determine what can be done to prevent or lessen the blowing of soil from the land. If the board finds, after consulting with the State Conservation Commission, if appropriate, that the blowing can be prevented or lessened by treatment of the soil, the board shall issue an order to the owner of record, and to the operator, if known to the board, stating the treatment required, and the date the treatment is to be started and completed.
