        318.8  PERMIT REQUIRED.         A person shall not excavate, fill, or make a physical change      within a highway right-of-way without obtaining a permit from the      applicable highway authority.  At the request of a permittee, a      modification may be granted in the discretion of the highway      authority.  Work performed under the permit shall be performed in      conformity with the specifications prescribed by the highway      authority.  If the work does not conform to permit specifications,      the person shall be notified to make the conforming changes.  If      after twenty days the changes have not been made, the highway      authority may make the necessary changes and immediately send a      statement of the cost to the responsible person.  If within thirty      days after sending the statement the cost is not paid, the highway      authority may institute legal proceedings to collect the cost of      correction.  A violation of the permit specifications shall be      considered a violation of section 318.3.  A public utility subject to      section 306A.3 is exempt from this section.
