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

註：
1. This Permit consists of three parts,
namely, PART A (Main Permit), PART B
(Descriptions 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
EIAO, and the following notes are for general information only.
2. If there is a breach of any
condition of this Permit, the Director or his authorized officer may, with the
consent of the Secretary for Environment, Transport and Works, order the
cessation of associated work 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 EIAO to the Director for a variation of the conditions of
this Permit. The Permit Holder shall replace the original permit displayed on
