Section 23-1-371 Formulation, adoption, of aircraft approach plans; airspace reservations. (a) The Legislature finds that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of the general public, the users of airports, and the occupants of land in their vicinity, and reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking off, and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly, the creation, establishment, or maintenance of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and harms the community served by the affected airport; it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health and safety and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented and both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, abatement, or marking or lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which...
