Article 2. Camelthorn of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 4. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 2.

Camelthorn is a public nuisance. It may be abated by summary action or otherwise pursuant to the law which relates to the abatement of public nuisance.

The director shall eradicate camelthorn wherever it exists in this state.

The expense incurred by the director in eradicating camelthorn shall be borne as follows:
  (a) One-third by the state, to be paid out of any sum appropriated for such purpose.
  (b) One-third by the county in which the land is located on which such camelthorn exists.
  (c) One-third by the owner of the land.

The board of supervisors may direct the commissioner to proceed with the abatement of the camelthorn pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 5401), Part 1 of this division. If the commissioner does so, the board of supervisors shall allow and pay the share of the county and the share of the owner of the land out of the general fund of the county.

The share of the expense of eradication which is required by Section 7303 to be borne by the owner of the land is a lien on the land against which the expense is chargeable. The provisions of Sections 5429 to 5436, inclusive, apply, insofar as possible, to such lien.
