§1713. Leases and permits, cause for cancellation or revocation
A. Abandonment of an encroachment, or noncompliance with the law, this Chapter, or regulations and standards adopted, shall result in the revocation or cancellation of any permit or lease unless the persons responsible remedy the problem or violation within thirty days of written or published notice, by the division or office, as applicable, specifying the violation. The period for compliance may be extended for additional thirty-day periods up to one hundred twenty days total, upon a showing by the persons responsible of inability to comply by reason of extensive work required.
Where force majeure prevents the persons responsible from complying with the division's or the office's demand, the thirty-day corrective period shall be suspended until such date when work becomes reasonably possible.
B. If the violation is such that no remedy is possible, or an immediate and substantial hazard to public health, safety and welfare exists, or the persons responsible refuse or fail to correct the problem, within the thirty days provided, any permit or lease for the encroachments involved shall be cancelled and revoked. Any construction or maintenance of an encroachment not in substantial compliance with this Chapter shall be an absolute nullity and no rights shall vest in the persons responsible or be acquired by prescription.
