### sec.661 Temporary prohibition on constructing CSG evaporation dams under existing CSG authority
While this section applies, an existing CSG authority does not authorise the construction of a CSG evaporation dam in connection with carrying out a relevant CSG activity.
See section 426A (Environmental authority required for chapter 5A activity).
However, subsection (1) does not apply if the construction of the dam has substantially commenced before the commencement day.
This section stops applying when—
a CSG amendment is made to the authority; or
the holder of the authority gives the administering authority a revised (CSG) EM plan for the authority and the administering authority gives the holder a written notice approving construction of the dam.
