Before any change is made in the topography of lands under, or adjacent to, any electric transmission or telecommunications lines, which change would increase the hazard to travel, or to persons or property, the one proposing to make such change shall, except in the case of an emergency, at least ten days before proceeding therewith, notify the public utility or cooperative corporation operating such electric transmission or telecommunications lines. Such notification shall clearly state the nature and location of the proposed change in topography and shall be sent to such public utility or cooperative corporation at its principal place of business within the state by registered or certified mail. In case of an emergency, when ten days' notice cannot be given, notice shall be given, as herein provided, prior to proceeding with such change.
