1.4 The Permit Holder shall give a copy of this Permit to the person(s) in charge of the site(s) and ensure that such person(s) fully understands all conditions and all requirements incorporated by the Permit. The site(s) refers to site(s) of construction and operation of the Project and shall mean the same hereafter.

1.6 The Permit Holder shall operate the Project in accordance with the project description in Part B of this Permit.

1.7 The Permit Holder shall ensure that the Project is operated in accordance with the information and recommendations described in the EIA Report [Register No. AEIAR-001/1998]; the application documents (Application No. AEP-108/2001 & FEP-091/2009); other relevant documents in the Register; the information or mitigation measures described in this Permit; mitigation measures to be recommended in submissions that shall be deposited with or approved by the Director as a result of permit conditions contained in this Permit; and mitigation measures to be recommended under on going surveillance and monitoring activities during all stages of the Project.

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, 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.
