Section 10

Every licensee shall only use fresh water in connection with his sand quarrying operations and shall make such provision or take such steps as will ensure that all the water, before it leaves the sand quarrying area on which it has been so used, is freed from any mud, sand, silt or any other refuse of the sand quarry which is likely to interfere with the natural flow of water in any river, stream, channel or watercourse.

The Licensing Officer may, by notice in writing, require any licensee to provide such spillways, retaining walls, brush dams, settling pits and other mechanical appliances or devices as the Licensing Officer may consider necessary for effectual compliance with subsection (1) and may also order the licensee to suspend his sand quarrying operations until such provision has been made.

The compliance of the licensee with a notice or order made under subsection (2) shall not affect any liability incurred by any licensee through breach of subsection (1).
