In addition to the remedies provided for in Section 8.30.040, the enforcing officer may give notice by certified mail or by personal delivery to the owner of the site of the necessity within ten days of the date of notice to abate the specified nuisance and shall put the notice at the site. If at the end of the ten-day period the site has not been cleaned and the nuisance thus abated, the county is hereby authorized to have such site cleaned and to bill the cost of such cleaning, disposal and administrative costs against the owner of the property. If unpaid, such cost shall become a lien in favor of Skamania County and enforceable as other liens against the real property where such nuisance occurred. The notice shall state with specificity the nuisance which is occurring at the posted site, shall order that such nuisance must be abated within ten days of the date of notice, shall state that if the nuisance is not so abated, the county may remove specified materials and bill for removal and shall become a lien against the property where the nuisance has occurred, and shall state the date of notice. It is illegal for any person to remove such notice until the terms thereof shall have been fully complied with.
If the health officer shall determine in writing that nuisance constitutes an extreme hazard to public health, the county may proceed immediately to abate such nuisance. (Ord. 1989-02 § 4)
