Operations are also subject to the provisions of environmental protection and pollution control legislation thus licences are required, for instance, in respect of abstraction of, and discharges to, water and deposition of wastes. > How small is a small quarry?

However it does not provide definitions of these, leaving that to the discretion of individual Mineral Planning Authorities. > |
