Clause 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 such water so used shall, before it leaves the sand quarrying area on which it has been so used, be 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 deem necessary for effectual compliance with the provisions of subsection (1) of this section and may also order such 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) of this section shall not affect any liability incurred by any licensee through breach of the provisions of subsection (1) of this section.
