Paragraph 4

Without prejudice to paragraph 3, the F1Department shall not dredge the river within the harbour limits without the consent of the Belfast Harbour Commissioners.

Any materials taken up or collected in the course of dredging the river shall be the property of the F2Department and may be used, sold, removed, deposited or otherwise disposed of as the Department may think fit; but the Department shall not deposit any such materials below the level of mean high water springs except in such position as the Secretary of State concerned with navigation may approve and subject to such conditions and restrictions as he may impose.
