notification from the ET Leader of each and every occurrence, change of
circumstances or non-compliance with the EIA Report (Register No.: AEIAR-070/2003)
and this Permit, which might affect the monitoring or control of adverse
environmental impacts from the Project. In the case where the IEC fails to so
notify the Director of the same, fails to discharge the duties of the IEC as
defined in the EM&A Manual or fails to comply with this Condition, the
Director may require the Permit Holder by notice in writing to replace the IEC.
Failure to replace the IEC as directed or further failure to so notify the

suspension, cancellation or variation. Notification by the Permit Holder is the
same as notification by the IEC for the purpose of this Condition.
Set up of an Environmental Committee for the
Construction Phase
2.3 To
monitor environmental impacts of the construction of the Wholesale Fish Market,
the Permit
Holder shall set up an Environmental Committee (EC) including representatives
from the nearby residents before the commencement of construction of the
Project to closely supervise the construction of the Wholesale Fish

3. Measures for the Construction of the
Project
Design of the Wholesale Fish Market
3.1 To
minimise noise and odour impacts, the building of the Wholesale Fish Market
shall be a fully-enclosed design with openings only along the waterfront to
allow for loading of fish stocks from marine vessels and associated activities.
3.2 To
minimise noise and odour impacts, the external wall of the Wholesale Fish
Market along
3.3 To
minimise noise and air quality impacts, a minimum of 40 lorry parking spaces
shall be provided inside the Wholesale Fish Market with access from the
northern side of the building to allow for parking, loading and unloading
activities to take place inside the building of the Wholesale Fish Market as
shown in Figure 2.
3.4 To
minimise road traffic noise impact, the junction at
3.5 To
minimise noise impact, the Wholesale Fish Market building shall be constructed
with a noise canopy of at least 5 m wide and 90 m long projected from the façade
of the Wholesale Fish Market along the waterfront to screen off the noise
emitted from loading and unloading activities and berthed vessels as shown in
Figure 2.
3.6 To
minimise noise impact, acoustic louvers and silencers with a minimum insertion
loss of 15dB(A) shall be installed at plantroom ventilation openings and
mechanical ventilation systems respectively.
3.7 To
minimise odour impact, an induced draft ventilation system with extraction
points located at the fish handling areas and lorry parking area shall be
installed. The exhausts of the
ventilation system shall be vented from the waterfront side of the building of
the Wholesale Fish Market as shown in Figure
4. The induced draft ventilation system
shall be operated at a rate of no less than 10 air changes per hour throughout
the peak operating hours of the Wholesale Fish Market from 3:00 am to 6:30 am.
3.8 To
minimise odour impact, a de-odorised scrubber system or equivalent de-odorising
system shall be installed for the Wholesale Fish Market on mezzanine floor as
shown in Figure 4 to remove odour prior to discharging outside the
Wholesale Fish Market.
3.9 To
minimise odour impact, fresh air intakes of the mechanical ventilation system
provided to the community hall shall be located at level above 15mPD and fitted
with odour removal systems such as carbon filters to remove odour.
3.10 To
minimise odour impact, building materials used associated with the operation of
the Wholesale Fish Market shall be impervious, durable and easy to clean to
avoid build-up of odour from organic material carried in washing water.
Measures
to Mitigate Environmental Impacts during Construction
3.11 To
minimise air quality impact, solid hoarding of at least 2.4 m high shall be
erected along the site boundary, except at the site entrance and exit, during
construction of the Project.
3.12 To minimise air quality impact, any stockpile of dusty materials shall be covered entirely by impervious sheeting; placed in an area sheltered on the top and the three sides; or sp
