(1)Where a tidal work is abandoned, or suffered to fall into decay, the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may by notice in writing require the Company at its own expense either to repair and restore the work, or any part thereof, or to remove the work and restore the site thereof to its former condition, to such an extent and within such limits as the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may think proper.
(2)If Work No. 1 is abandoned or suffered to fall into decay and any part thereof on or over land above the level of high water is in such condition as to interfere, or to cause reasonable apprehension that it may interfere, with the right of navigation or other public rights over the foreshore, the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may include that part of the work, or any portion thereof, in any notice under this section.
(3)If, on the expiration of 30 days from the date on which a notice under this section is served upon the Company, it has failed to comply with the requirements of the notice, the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may execute the works specified in the notice, and any expenditure incurred by him or by A.B. Ports in so doing shall be recoverable from the Company.
