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 and this Permit 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 replace the ET Leader upon notice in writing from the Director, 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 IEC for the Project.

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 transmission, within 24 hours of receipt of notification from the ET Leader of each and every change of circumstances or non-compliance with the recommendations of the EIA Report or this Permit, which might affect the monitoring or control of adverse environmental impacts from the Project. In the case 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 replacement of the IEC by notice in writing. Failure to replace the IEC upon notice in writing from the Director, or further failure to so notify the Director despite employment of a new IEC, may render the Permit liable to suspension, cancellation or variation. The IEC shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor or the ET for the Project.
