The ET Leader shall be a person who has at least 7 years' experience in environmental monitoring and auditing (EM&A) or environmental management. The ET team and the ET Leader shall be responsible for the duties defined in the EM&A Manual of the EIA Report. The ET Leader shall be responsible for the implementation of the EM&A programme in accordance with the EM&A requirements as contained in the EM&A Manual. The ET Leader shall keep a contemporaneous log-book of each and every instance or circumstance or change of circumstances which may affect the compliance with the recommendations of the EIA Report (Register No. AEIAR-049/2002) and this Permit(including any subsequent approved submissions). The ET Leader shall notify the IEC within one working day of the occurrence of any such instance or circumstance or change of circumstances. This log-book shall be kept readily available for inspection by all persons assisting in supervision of the implementation of the recommendations of the EIA Report (Register No. AEIAR-049/2002) and this Permit (including any subsequent approved submissions) or by the Director or his authorized officers. Failure to maintain records in the log-book, failure to discharge the duties of the ET Leader as defined in the EM&A Manual or failure to comply with this Condition would entitle the Director to require the Permit Holder by notice in writing to replace the ET Leader. Failure by the Permit Holder to make replacement, or further failure to keep contemporaneous records in the log-book despite the employment of a new ET Leader may render the Permit liable to suspension, cancellation or variation. The ET shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor or the IEC for the Project.

An
Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) shall be employed by the Permit Holder
no later than two months before the commencement of decommissioning of the

IEC shall be responsible for the duties defined in the EM&A Manual of the
EIA Report (Register No. AEIAR-049/2002), and shall audit the overall EM&A
programme described in the EIA Report, including the implementation of all
environmental mitigation measures, submissions required in the EM&A Manual,
and any other submissions required under this Permit. In addition, the IEC
shall be responsible for verifying the environmental acceptability of permanent
and temporary works, relevant design plans and submissions under this Permit.
The IEC shall verify the log-book(s) mentioned in Condition 2.1 of this Permit.
The IEC shall notify the Director by fax, within 24 hours of each and every
occurrence, change of circumstances or non-compliance with the EIA Report
(Register No. AEIAR-049/2002) and this Permit, which might affect the
monitoring or control of adverse environmental impact. 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 Director despite employment of a new IEC may render the Permit
liable to suspension, cancellation or variation. Notification by the Permit Holder
is the same as notification by the IEC for the purpose of this Condition. The
IEC shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor or the
Environmental Team for the Project.

Notes
:
1. This
Permit consists of three parts, namely, PART A (Main Permit), PART B
(Description of Designated Project) and PART C (Permit Conditions). Any person
relying on this permit should obtain independent legal advice on the legal
implications under the Ordinance, and the following notes are for general
information only.
2. If
there is a breach of any conditions of this Permit, the Director or his
authorized office may, with the consent of the Secretary for the Environment,
order the cessation of associated works until the remedial action is taken in
respect of the resultant environmental damage and in that case the Permit
Holder shall not carry out any associated works without the permission of the
Director or his authorized officer.
3. The
Permit Holder may apply under Section 13 of the Ordinance to the Director for a
variation of the conditions of this Permit. The Permit Holder shall replace the
original permit displayed on the construction site by the amended permit.
4. A
person who assumes the responsibility for the whole or a part of the designated
project may, before he assumes responsibility of the designated project, apply
under Section 12 of the Ordinance to the Director for a further environmental
permit.
5. Under
Section 14 of the Ordinance, the Director may with the consent of the Secretary
for the Environment, suspend, vary or cancel this Permit. The suspended, varied
or cancelled Permit shall be removed from display at the construction site.
6. If
this Permit is cancelled or surrendered during decommissioning of the Project,
another environmental permit must be obtained under the Ordinance before the
Project could be continued. It is an offence under Section 26(1) of the
Ordinance to decommission a designated project listed in Part II of Schedule 2
of the Ordinance without a valid environmental permit.
7. Any
person who decommissions the Project contrary to the conditions in the Permit,
and is convicted of an offence under the Ordinance, is liable: -
(i)
on a
first conviction on indictment to a fine of $ 2 million and to imprisonment for
6 months;
(ii) on
a second or subsequent conviction on indictment to a fine of $ 5 million and to
imprisonment for 2 years;
(iii) on
a first summary conviction to a fine at level 6 and to imprisonment for 6
months;
(iv) on
a second or subsequent summary conviction to a fine of $1 million and to
imprisonment for 1 year; and
(v) in
any case where the offence is of a continuing nature, the court or magistrate
may impose a fine of $ 10,000 for each day on which he is satisfied the offence
continued.
8. The Permit Holder may appeal
against any condition of this Permit under Section 17 of the Ordinance within
30 days of receipt of this Permit.
9. The
Notes are for general reference only and that the Permit Holder should refer to
the EIA Ordinance for details and seek independent legal advice.
10. Occupational
safety and health issues are governed by the Occupational Safety and Health
Ordinance (Cap. 509), and Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance
(Cap.59). The Permit Holder is advised to contact the Labour Department for
requirements relating to occupational safety and health issues.
11. Methane
will burn when mixed with air between approximately 5 % by volume and 15 % by
volume, that is, the Lower Explosive Limit and Upper Explosive Limit
respectively.
