La. Stat. tit. 3 § 1211
Where the supervisors of any district shall find that any of the provisions of land-use regulations prescribed in an ordinance adopted in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 3:1209 are not being observed on particular lands, and that such non-observance tends to increase erosion on such lands and is interfering with the prevention or control of erosion on other lands within the district, the supervisors may seek, according to law, from the district court having jurisdiction, a mandatory injunction ordering the land occupant and the land owner to comply with the land-use regulations, and, in the alternative, authorizing the supervisors to go on the land, perform the work or other operations or otherwise bring the condition of such lands into conformity with the requirement of such regulations and to recover the costs and expenses thereof, with interest, from the occupant and owner of such land. In all cases where the person in possession of lands, who shall fail to perform such work, operations, or avoidances shall not be the owner, the owner of such lands shall be joined as a party defendant.
When such judgment shall be paid or collected, the proceeds shall be paid over to the district within the boundaries of which the land shall lie.
