2.               Measures and Submissions before Commencement of Construction of the Project

 

Employment of Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Personnel

 

2.1        An Environmental Team (ET) shall be established by the Permit Holder no later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project. The ET shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor or the Independent Auditor for the Project. The ET shall be headed by an ET Leader. The ET Leader shall be a person who has at least 7 years of experience in environmental monitoring and auditing (EM&A) or environmental management. The ET and 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 of the Project. 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-089/2005) and this Permit.  The ET Leader shall notify the Independent Auditor within one working day of the occurrence of any such instance or circumstance or change of circumstances. The ET Leader’s 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-089/2005) 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 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.

 

2.2        An Independent Auditor shall be established by the Permit Holder no later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project. The Independent Auditor shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor or the ET for the Project. The Independent Auditor shall be a person who has at least 7 years of experience in EM&A or environmental management. The Independent Auditor shall be responsible for duties defined in the EM&A Manual, and shall audit the overall EM&A performance, 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 Independent Auditor shall be responsible for verifying the environmental acceptability of permanent and temporary works, relevant design plans and submissions under this Permit. The Independent Auditor shall verify the log-book(s) mentioned in Condition 2.1 of this Permit. The Independent Auditor shall notify the Director by fax or email, within one working day of receipt of notification from the ET Leader of each and every occurrence, change of circumstances or non-compliance with the EIA Report (Register No. AEIAR-089/2005) and this Permit, which may affect the monitoring or control of adverse environmental impacts from the Project. In the case where the Independent Auditor fails to so notify the Director of the same, fails to discharge the duties of the Independent Auditor 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 Independent Auditor. Failure to replace the Independent Auditor as directed or further failure to so notify the Director despite employment of a new Independent Auditor may render the Permit liable to suspension, cancellation or variation. Notification by the Permit Holder is the same as notification by the Independent Auditor for the purpose of this Condition.

 

2.3        The Permit Holder shall no later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project deposit with the Director three copies of 1:20 000 scale layout drawings showing the project boundary and the location of each mud pit with coordinates. The layout drawings so provided shall conform to the assessment that has been conducted in the EIA Review Report attached to the application for Environmental Permit (Application No. AEP-427/2011) and shall show the tolerable range of accuracy of any plans and/or lines.

 

2.4        The Permit Holder shall no later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project deposit with the Director three copies of 1:1000 scale bathymetric survey drawings showing the original seabed levels within the project boundary prior to the construction of the Project.

 

2.5        The Permit Holder shall no later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project submit to the Director for approval 4 hard copies and 1 electronic copy of an updated EM&A Manual for the Project. Before submission to the Director, the updated EM&A Manual shall be certified by the ET Leader and verified by the Independent Auditor as conforming to the information and recommendations contained in the EIA Review Report attached to the application for Environmental Permit (Application No. AEP-427/2011).

 

 

3.                Measures to be Implemented during Construction and Operation of the Project

 

3.1        All dredging, backfilling and capping works shall only be carried out within the project boundary as indicated in the layout drawings deposited under Condition 2.3 of this Permit.

3.4        Capping operations within the project boundary shall not exceed a disposal rate of 26,700m3 per day.

 

3.5        To minimize the noise impacts at the nearby noise sensitive receivers, no more than six grab dredgers, seven barges and seven tug boats shall be operated on-site on each pit.

           

3.6        Backfilling with contaminated sediments is permissible up to a level of no less than 3 metres below the original seabed level of each pit.

 

3.7        Following completion of backfilling, the contaminated materials shall be covered by a layer of at least 3 metres thick of uncontaminated sediments and/or natural uncontaminated soil to restore the original seabed level as surveyed and recorded under Condition 2.4 of this Permit. The finished seabed level shall not protrude from the existing seabed level.

 

 

4.                Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Requirements

 

4.1        The EM&A programme shall be implemented in accordance with the procedures and requirements in the EM&A Manual.

2.1              在工程項目的建造工程展開前,許可證持有人須至少提早1個月成立一個環境小組。環境小組不得與工程項目的承辦商或獨立審核人員有任何聯繫。環境小組須由一名環境小組組長帶領。環境小組組長須在環境監察及審核(環監)或環境管理方面至少有7年經驗。環境小組及環境小組組長須按工程項目環監手冊內載的環監要求,執行環監計劃。環境小組組長須保存一本記錄冊,同時記載可能會影響環評報告(登記冊編號:AEIAR-089/2005)的建議及本許可證的符合情況的每宗事件、每種情況或每次情況變化。環境小組組長須在發生任何類似事件、情況或情況變化後1個工作天內通知獨立審核人員。存放這本環境小組組長的記錄冊的地方,須可供協助督導執行環評報告(登記冊編號:AEIAR-089/2005)的建議及本許可證的所有人士、署長或獲授權人員隨時查閱。環境小組組長如未能在記錄冊保存記錄、未能執行環監手冊所列明的環境小組組長職務,或未能符合本條件的規定,署長有權以書面要求許可證持有人撤換環境小組組長。許可證持有人如未能安排人選替補,或在聘用新環境小組組長後仍未能在記錄冊保存同期的記錄,或會導致許可證遭暫時吊銷、取消或更改。

2.2         在工程項目的建造工程展開前,許可證持有人須至少提早1個月成立一名獨立審核人員。獨立審核人員不得與工程項目的承辦商或環境小組有任何聯繫。獨立審核人員須在環監或環境管理方面至少有7年經驗。獨立審核人員須執行環監手冊所列明的職務,以及審核整體的環監表現,包括實施所有環境緩解措施、提交環監手冊規定的文件,以及提交本許可證所要求的其他文件。此外,獨立審核人員須核實永久及臨時工程在環境上的可接受程度、相關的設計圖則和根據本許可證提交的文件,並須核實本許可證條件第2.1項所述的記錄冊。在每次發生事件、出現情況變化或不符合環評報告(登記冊編號:AEIAR-089/2005)及本許可證的情況,而可能會妨礙就工程項目所造成不良環境影響而進行的監察或控制工作時,獨立審核人員須在接獲環境小組組長通知後1個工作天內以傳真或電郵方式通知署長。獨立審核人員如未能通知署長有關情況,未能執行環監手冊所列明的獨立審核人員職務,或未能符合本條件的規定,署長可以書面要求許可證持有人撤換獨立審核人員。如未能按指示撤換獨立審核人員,或在聘用新獨立審核人員後仍未能通知署長有關情況,則或會導致許可證遭暫時吊銷、取消或更改。為執行本條件,許可證持有人的通知等同獨立審核人員的通知。

2.3              在工程項目的建造工程展開前,許可證持有人須至少提早1個月向署長存放3套比例1:20 000的設計圖則,展示工程項目的界線及各個泥坑的位置和坐標。有關設計圖則須符合連同環境許可證申請書(申請書編號:AEP-427/2011)提交的環評檢討報告所作的評估,並須展示任何圖則及/或線條的可接受準確度。
