2. Special Conditions
2.1 To minimize odour impact during operation of the Project, all odour sources, i.e. the inlet chamber, screening chamber and wet well shall be fully enclosed by a reinforced concrete structure.
2.2 To minimize odour impact during operation of the Project, a deodorizer with forced ventilation system and H2S removal efficiency of at least 99.5 % shall be installed, operated and properly maintained.
2.3 To minimize noise impact during operation of the Project, the pump sets and screening facilities of the pumping station shall be installed inside a reinforced concrete structure.

To avoid emergency discharge, standby sewage pump and dual power supply shall be provided and properly managed. A telemetry system shall be installed to transmit the signals showing irregularity or any operational problem of the sewage pumping station to the Kwun Tong Preliminary Treatment Works.
2.5 To minimize landscape and visual impact, the Permit Holder shall implement within the Project boundary the landscape and visual mitigation measures as proposed in the Project Profile (Register No. PP-387/2009) and as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 attached to this Permit, and shall maintain them after implementation.

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 Ordinance, and the following notes are for general information only.
2. If there is a breach of any conditions 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.
3. The Permit Holder may apply under Section 13 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) 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 Ordinance to the Director for a further environmental permit.
5. Under Section 14 of the Ordinance, the Director may with the consent of the Secretary for the Environment, 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 of the Project, another environmental permit must be obtained under the Ordinance before the Project could be continued. It is an offence under Section 26(1) of the Ordinance to construct a designated project listed in Schedule 2 of the Ordinance without a valid environmental permit.
7. Any person who constructs the Project contrary to the conditions in the Permit, and is convicted of an offence under the Ordinance, 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 Ordinance 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 EIA Ordinance for details and seek independent legal advice.
