1675. (a) If, at any time after a license is issued, the board
finds that the licensee has not put the water granted under the
license to a useful or beneficial purpose in conformity with this
division or that the licensee has ceased to put the water to that
useful or beneficial purpose, or that the licensee has failed to
observe any of the terms and conditions in the license, the board may
revoke the license and declare the water to be subject to
appropriation in accordance with this part.
(b) The board may revoke the license upon request of the licensee
or after due notice to the licensee and after a hearing, when a
hearing is requested by the licensee pursuant to Section 1675.1.
(c) As used in this section "licensee" includes the heirs,
successors, or assigns of the licensee.

1675.1. The notice of proposed revocation of the license pursuant
to Section 1675 shall contain a statement of facts and information
upon which the proposed revocation is based, and shall include a
statement substantially in the following form:
Unless a written request for a hearing signed by or on behalf of
the licensee is delivered or mailed to the board within 15 days after
receipt of this notice, the board may act upon the proposed
revocation of the license without a hearing. Any request for a
hearing may be made by delivering or mailing the request to the board
at the address given on the notice.
