At the same time, a feedback mechanism for the transfer of sand-related clues should be established, requiring the accepting functional departments to give quarterly written feedback to the transferring units on the handling of sand-related cases. The general sand and gravel station informs the member units of the results of sand and gravel inspection on a quarterly basis, and copies them to the county's "four major groups", discipline inspection commissions, procuratorates and other departments. The law enforcement of sand and gravel inspection and the effectiveness of handling inspection cases have been continuously improved.
