At least two weeks prior to the commencement of the marine works, the
Permit Holder shall deposit with the Director four hard copies and one
electronic copy of a silt curtain deployment plan. The silt curtain deployment plan
shall be certified by the ET Leader and verified by the IEC as conforming to
the relevant information and recommendation contained in the approved EIA

in Figure 2 of this Permit.
The silt curtain deployment plan shall include plans showing the construction
programme and details on the design, operation and maintenance requirements of
the silt curtain(s) including but not limited to deployment of silt curtain(s)
for dredging and filling works as recommended in the approved EIA Report
(Register No: AEIAR-125/2008) and the relevant documents in the EIAO Register.

the seawater intakes. The typical
configuration of silt screen is shown in Figure 3 for reference. Silt screens shall be installed at
seawater intakes prior to the commencement of the corresponding marine works in
the vicinity as presented in the finalised silt screen deployment plan. To
avoid refuse entrapment and to ensure representative impact monitoring results,
silt screens shall be maintained and refuse around them shall be collected at
regular intervals on a daily basis so that water behind the silt screens be
kept free from floating debris during the impact monitoring period. (see notes 8 and 9)

all filling
works for permanent and temporary reclamation shall be conducted behind the
seawalls which shall be completed to a height above the high water mark; and
(c)
any seawall
gap that need to be provided for marine access shall be surrounded by silt

2.18
To avoid/reduce the accumulation of water borne pollutants within the
temporary embayment area formed between the eastern seawall of Central
Reclamation Phase III and the HKCEC Extension, a silt curtain/an impermeable
barrier system shall be erected in the location as shown in Figure 6 of this Permit before the
reclamation works at the reclamation shoreline subzone HKCEC1 commence, to channel
water discharge flow from Culvert L to locations outside the embayment area. The silt curtain/an impermeable barrier
system shall be suspended from a floating boom on the water surface and
extending down to the seabed. This silt curtain/impermeable barrier system shall
be maintained until the reclamation works in HKCEC2W area are carried out and
the new storm outfall Culvert L extension is constructed. Any proposed changes
to this silt curtain/an impermeable barrier system shall be certified by the ET
Leader and verified by the IEC as conforming to the relevant information and

To reduce the landscape and visual impact during construction stage of
the Project, the Permit Holder shall, at least one month before the
commencement of corresponding parts of landscape works of the Project, deposit
with the Director four hard copies and one electronic copy of a landscape
plan. The landscape plan shall show
the design details, locations, implementation programme, maintenance and
management schedules, and drawings in the scale of 1:1,000 or other appropriate
scale of the landscape and visual mitigation measures of the Project as
recommended in Section 10.8.14 and Table 10.5 of the approved EIA Report
(Register No: AEIAR-125/2008). Before submission to the Director, the landscape
