Notes:

註：

 

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.

          本許可證共有3部，即A部（許可證主要部分）；B部（指定工程項目的說明）及C部（許可證條件）。任何援引本許可證的人士須就環評條例的法律含意徵詢獨立法律意見，下述註解只供一般參考用。

 

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, 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.

          如違反本許可證的任何條件，署長或獲授權人員徵得環境局局長的同意後可勒令停止相關工程，直至許可證持有人為所造成的環境損害採取補救行動為止。在此情況下，許可證持有人未經署長或獲授權人員同意，不得進行任何相關工程。

 

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.
