23. The licence holder may not conduct the activities referred to in section 22 at less than 1,000 m from a body of water.
Despite the foregoing, the Minister may reduce that distance if the holder demonstrates to the Minister that the activities planned do not compromise the integrity and conservation of the body of water. At the request of the Minister, the holder supports this demonstration by submitting to the Minister a technical environmental study signed by an engineer from a consulting engineering firm independent from all the enterprises of the holder.
