the approved HCMP. The monitoring
and review process shall be an integral part of the HCMP and shall include the
following specific requirements: -
(a)
annual preparation of a
Monitoring Report detailing results of key abiotic and biotic parameters
monitored during the previous year.

limit thresholds exceeded, together with measures taken to resolve
exceedences. This shall include the
requirement for adaptive modifications to the approved HCMP if required;
(b)

Quality Impacts
2.14
A reedbed/marsh area of not
less than 4.65 hectares at location indicated in Figure 5 attached to this

Environmental Permit No. FEP-06/129/2002/F
環境許可證編號 FEP-06/129/2002/F
Notes :
1. This Environmental Permit consists of three parts, namely, Part A (Main Permit), Part B (Description of Designated Project) Part C (Permit Conditions). Any person relying on this Permit should obtain independent legal advice on the legal implications under the Ordinance, and that the following notes are for general information only.
2. If there is a breach of any condition of this Permit, the Director or his authorised 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 authorised 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 Environmental Permit. The Permit Holder shall replace the original Permit displayed on the construction site, by the amended Permit.
4. A person who assumes 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 Permit that has been suspended, varied or cancelled shall be removed from the display at the construction site.
6. If this Permit is cancelled or surrendered during the construction or operation 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 or operate a designated project listed in Part I of Schedule 2 of the Ordinance 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 Ordinance, is liable :
