Paragraph 6
If, during the construction of a specified work or within 10 years after the completion of such work and wholly or partly in consequence of its construction there is caused or created an accumulation or erosion, the Company, if so requested by the Authority before or within the period of 10 years after such completion shall remedy such accumulation or erosion in the manner specified in sub-paragraph (3) below and, if they refuse or fail so to do, the Authority may itself cause the work to be done and may recover the reasonable cost thereof from the Company.
Should any accumulation or erosion in consequence of such construction arise within the said period of 10 years and be remedied in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) below, any recurrence of such accumulation or erosion shall from time to time be so remedied by the Company during the said period of 10 years and at any time thereafter, save that the Company’s obligation under this paragraph shall cease in the event that following the remedying of any accumulation or erosion a period of 10 years elapses without any further accumulation or erosion being caused or created in consequence of such construction.
For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) above—
in the case of an accumulation, the remedy shall be its removal; and
in the case of erosion, the remedy shall be the carrying out of such reconstruction works and other protective works or measures as may be reasonably required by the Authority.
In the event that surveys, inspections, tests or sampling establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority that such accumulation or erosion would have been caused in any event by factors other than the construction of a specified work, the Company shall be liable to remedy such accumulation or erosion only to the extent that the same is attributable to such construction or exercise as aforesaid.
