What laws and regulations are used to punish illegal quarrying in rivers?

According to Article 3 of the Mineral Resources Law, mineral resources are owned by the state, and the State Council exercises state ownership of mineral resources. The state ownership of surface or underground mineral resources will not change because of the different ownership or use right of the land to which it is attached. The state guarantees the rational development and utilization of mineral resources. It is forbidden for any organization or individual to occupy or destroy mineral resources by any means. People's governments at all levels must strengthen the protection of mineral resources. Exploration and exploitation of mineral resources must be separately applied for, approved and registered according to law; However, mining enterprises applying for mining rights according to law are excluded from the exploration for their own production within the designated mining area. Article 39 stipulates that anyone who, in violation of the provisions of this Law, enters the state-planned mining areas and mining areas of great value to the national economy without obtaining a mining license, or mines specific minerals that are subject to protective mining as stipulated by the state, shall be ordered to stop mining, compensate for losses, confiscate the mined mineral products and illegal income, and may also be fined; Whoever refuses to stop mining and causes damage to mineral resources shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of Article 156 of the Criminal Law.
