A person shall not excavate, fill, or make a physical change within the right-of-way of a public road or highway without obtaining a permit from the highway authority having jurisdiction of the public road or highway. Work performed under the permit shall be performed in conformity with the specifications prescribed by the highway authority. If the excavation, fill, or physical change within the right-of-way of a public road or highway does not conform to the specifications that accompany the permit the person shall be notified to make such conforming changes. If after twenty days the changes have not been made, the public road or 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 proceedings in the district court to collect the cost of correction. Except as provided in section 306A.3, utility companies are exempted from the provisions of this section.
