1. General
Conditions
1.1 The Permit
Holder and any person working on the Project shall comply with all conditions
set out in this Permit. Any non-compliance by any person may constitute a
contravention of the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) (Cap.

with submersible pumps, a valve and flow meter chamber shall be located
underground. The control system,
odour control apparatus and inlet chamber shall be enclosed by a single-storey
concrete structure.
2.5 To
minimize the odour impact during operation of the Project, a deodorization unit
shall be installed. The exhaust
outlet of the odour control facilities shall be laid towards the southern
direction of the pumping station facing away from the sensitive receivers at
the northern and northeastern sides.
2.6 To
mitigate the landscape and visual impacts, planting areas shall be implemented
and properly maintained during operation of the Project as shown in
Figure 2
attached to this Permit.
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 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 the 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 the Project site by the amended permit.
4. A
person who assumes the responsibility for the whole or a part of the Project
may, before he assumes responsibility of the Project, apply under Section 12 of
the EIAO to the Director for a further environmental permit.
5. Under
Section 14 of the EIAO, the Director may with the consent of the Secretary for
the Environment, Transport and Works, suspend, vary or cancel this Permit. The suspended, varied or cancelled Permit
shall be removed from display at the Project site.
6. If
this Permit is cancelled or surrendered during construction or operation of the
Project, another environmental permit must be obtained under the EIAO before
the Project could be continued. It
is an offence under Section 26(1) of the EIAO to construct or operate a
designated project listed in Part I of Schedule 2 of the EIAO without a valid
environmental permit.
7. Any
person who constructs or operates the Project contrary to the conditions in the
Permit, and is convicted of an offence under the EIAO, 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 EIAO 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 EIAO for details and seek independent legal advice.
