33 U.S.C. § 407a — Deposit of debris of mines and stamp works

submitted 140 years ago by ch. 929 to r/title-33-NAVIGATION-AND-NAVIGABLE-WATERS · 69 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Army can set boundary lines in areas without official harbor lines, where dumping mining or stamp-mill debris won't hurt navigation. Once those lines are set, people can deposit debris inside them under rules the Secretary creates.

This section lets the Secretary of the Army authorize debris dumping in specific zones. This applies to places that don't yet have official harbor-lines. If mine or stamp-mill debris can be deposited there without harming navigation, the Secretary of the Army may establish lines marking where deposits are allowed. Once those lines exist, people can deposit debris within them, following regulations the Secretary issues from time to time.

In places where harbor-lines have not been established, and where deposits of debris of mines or stamp works can be made without injury to navigation, within lines to be established by the Secretary of the Army, said officer may, and is authorized to, cause such lines to be established; and within such lines such deposits may be made, under regulations to be from time to time prescribed by him.
