I. Any permit issued to any person, a public agency, or a private utility under the provisions of this title shall contain a provision that in the event of the future improvement of the highway necessitating the relocation or removal of such encroachment, the permittee shall relocate or remove same at his own expense. In the event of future improvement of a county highway for a proper governmental purpose which necessitates the relocation of an encroachment granted to a public utility, the permittee shall relocate same at permittee’s own expense to such different location in the highway as is specified in a written demand from the department. The department, in this situation, shall serve upon the permittee its written demand specifying the place and/or location or that the encroachment must be removed from the highway and specifying a reasonable time within which the work must be commenced by the person, public agency or public/private utility.

J. Any monument set for the purpose of locating or preserving the lines of any road, property, or subdivision, or a precise survey reference point, or a permanent survey benchmark within Sierra County shall not be removed, disturbed, or caused to be removed or disturbed without first obtaining permission, in writing, from the director. The director, in granting permission to disturb or remove any monument, reference point or benchmark, shall require that such points be temporarily tied out by a surveyor licensed in the state of California. After completion of all work under the issued encroachment permit, any disturbed or removed monument, reference point, or benchmark shall be accurately re-set by a surveyor licensed in the state of California. All work required under this section shall be at the expense of the permittee.

P. All permits are revocable immediately on five days written notice and the encroachment must be removed or relocated as may be specified in any written order of the department revoking said permit. This shall not apply to encroachment permits issued to a public utility operating pursuant to a franchise granted by the county.
