Disposition versions
305.6. Despite any contrary provision, the Minister may, by order, prohibit or restrict access to a mining road or to land in the domain of the State on which mining activities have been carried out if the Minister is of the opinion that the land or the substances found there present a serious risk to human safety.
The Minister shall prohibit or restrict such access for up to one year on the conditions he determines. The prohibition or restriction may be renewed for other maximum periods of one year in the presence of the same risks.
The order shall be disseminated by the most efficient means available to ensure that the population of the territory where the land or mining road is situated is rapidly informed, and shall be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
An order made under this section comes into force on the date specified in the order or, in the absence of such a date, on the date of the order’s dissemination.
