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. A
Contamination Assessment Report for the Hong Kong Aviation Club (HKAC) was
completed and included in Appendix 10.2 of the EIA Report [Register No.
AEIAR-130/2009] which concluded that no remediation would be required for the
decommissioning of the HKAC.
4. The
Permit Holder may apply under Section 13 of the Environmental Impact Assessment

of this Permit. The Permit Holder shall replace the original permit displayed
on the Project site by the amended permit.

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.

of the Ordinance within 30 days of receipt of this Permit.
