court may require the producers of the natural resources that are being hauled on
said road to treat said road to control dust. Said producer or producers shall be
notified of the fiscal court's finding by certified mail and shall be afforded a
reasonable opportunity to treat said road to control dust prior to the county fiscal
court initiating dust control treatment. The cost of treatment shall be apportioned
among all producers of natural resources using said road. If a producer does not pay
his proportionate share within sixty (60) days of the mailing of the bill, the fiscal
court may prohibit the movement of the producer's natural resources on county
roads until the charges are paid. (2) The proportionate share of costs of any producer shall be determined as the percentage which the tonnage of natural resources hauled by or for the producer
over county roads bears to the total tonnage of natural resources hauled on the
county roads. The fiscal court shall consult with producers to devise an equitable
method for determining proportionate cost shares before instituting charges, but the
fiscal court shall be the final authority in determining proportionate costs. (3) Treatment of county roads for dust pursuant to this section shall not include paving, or laying of rock. Effective: July 13, 1984
