Abstract

This Act does not apply in respect of the use of specified land within the meaning of Part 5 of the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. Every landholder shall, in respect of his land, take appropriate measures: (a) to prevent soil loss or deterioration from taking place; or (b) if soil loss or deterioration is taking place, to stop the loss or deterioration from continuing.

Where a landholder does not comply with a notice within the period of time specified in the notice an officer or a person authorized by an officer may carry out such matters.
