1. If the notice states that the excavation, shaft or hole has been abandoned, and no person claims the ownership thereof, the sheriff or constable shall notify the board of county commissioners of the county, or any member of the board of county commissioners, of its location. Upon receipt of the notice, or of information from the Division of Minerals of the Commission on Mineral Resources that there is in the county a dangerous condition resulting from mining practices which took place at a mine that is no longer operating, if the information does not identify any person responsible for the dangerous condition, the board shall, as soon as possible thereafter, decide whether it should be fenced or otherwise guarded to prevent accidents to persons or animals.
2. All expenses thus incurred must be paid first out of the judgments collected in accordance with the provisions of NRS 455.010 to 455.180, inclusive, in the same manner as other county expenses.
