Paragraph 1 Obstruction in the river
If any pile, stump or other obstruction to navigation in the river becomes exposed in the course of constructing any works or dredging (other than a pile, stump or other obstruction on the site of a structure comprised in any permanent work), the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice in writing from Forth Ports requiring such action, remove it from the river or, if it is not reasonably practicable to remove it—
(a)
cut off the obstruction at such level below the bed of the river as Forth Ports may reasonably direct; or
(b)
take such other steps to make the obstruction safe as Forth Ports may reasonably require.
