3967. The operation of any placer mine on ground not covered by a permit issued to the operator from the California Debris Commission, without compliance with this chapter, is declared to be a public nuisance which may be enjoined upon suit brought by the district attorney of the county in which the operation has been conducted, or by any city or district whose domestic water supply is rendered unfit or dangerous for human consumption by the acts, or failure to act, of the operator.
The superior court of the county in which the operation is conducted has jurisdiction to hear and determine the action and to award relief as may be proper.
