2. Submissions or
Measures before commencement of Construction of the Project(s)
2.1
An Environmental Team (ET) shall be established by the
Permit Holder no later than one month before the commencement of construction
of the Project(s). The ET shall not be in any way an associated body of the
Contractor or the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) for the
Project(s).The ET shall be headed by an ET Leader. The ET Leader shall be a
person who has at least 7 years' experience in environmental monitoring and
auditing (EM&A) or environmental management. The ET and the ET Leader shall
be responsible for the implementation of the EM&A programme in accordance
with the requirements as contained in the EM&A Manual. The ET Leader shall
keep a contemporaneous log-book of each and every circumstance or change of
circumstances which may affect the environmental impact assessment and each and
every non-compliance with the recommendations of the EIA Report or this Permit.
This log-book shall be kept readily available for inspection by all persons
assisting in supervision of the implementation of the recommendations of the
EIA Report and this Permit or by the Director or his authorized officers.
Failure to maintain records in the log-book, failure to discharge the duties of
the ET Leader as defined in the EM&A Manual or failure to comply with this
Condition would entitle the Director to require the Permit Holder by notice in
writing to replace the ET Leader. Failure by the Permit Holder to make
replacement, or further failure to keep contemporaneous records in the log-book
despite the employment of a new ET Leader may render the Permit liable to
suspension, cancellation or variation.
2.2 An IEC

commencement of construction of the Project(s). The IEC shall not be in any way
an associated body of the Contractor or the ET for the Project(s). The IEC
shall be a person who has at least 7 years' experience in EM&A or
environmental management. The IEC shall be responsible for duties defined in
the EM&A Manual and shall audit the overall EM&A programme, including
the implementation of all environmental mitigation measures, submissions
required in the EM&A Manual, and any other submissions required under this
Permit. In addition, the IEC shall be responsible for verifying the
environmental acceptability of permanent and temporary works, relevant design
plans and submissions under this Permit. The IEC shall verify the log-book(s)
mentioned in Condition 2.1 of this Permit. The IEC shall notify the Director by
fax, within 24 hours of each and every change of circumstances or
non-compliance with the recommendations of the EIA Report or this Permit, which
might affect the monitoring or control of adverse environmental impacts from
the Project(s). In case the IEC fails to so notify the Director of the same,
fails to discharge the duties of the IEC as defined the EM&A Manual or
fails to comply with this Condition, the Director may require the Permit Holder
by notice in writing to replace the IEC. Failure to replace the IEC as directed
or further failure to so notify the Director despite employment of a new IEC
may render the Permit liable to suspension, cancellation or variation.
Notification by the Permit Holder is the same as notification by the IEC for
the purpose of this Condition.
3. Submissions

suspended solids into the sea. The Permit Holder shall properly maintain the
silt curtains and regularly remove the floating debris and any substances
blocking the curtains until the completion of the dredging works of the
Project(s) and the Wan Chai Development Phase II project.
3.9 Upon completion of the eastern seawall of
the Project(s) as shown in Figure 7 of this Permit, the Permit Holder shall

the completion
of the eastern seawall of the Project(s) and during the period with the silt screen in place, the
Permit Holder shall conduct
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) monitoring at 3 monitoring stations located between (i) the
outfall of Culvert L and (ii) the Victoria Harbour outside the embayment area, on a weekly basis to monitor any deterioration of water

Notes
:
1. This
Permit consists of three parts, namely, PART A (Main Permit), PART B
(Description of Designated Project(s)) 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. The
Permit Holder may apply under Section 13 of 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 construction site by the amended permit.
3. A person
who assumes the responsibility for the whole or a part of the designated
project(s) may, before he assumes responsibility of the designated project(s),
apply under Section 12 of the Ordinance to the Director for a further
environmental permit.
4. 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 construction site.
5. If this
Permit is cancelled or surrendered during construction or operation of the
Project(s), another environmental permit must be obtained under the Ordinance
before the Project(s) 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.
6.
Any person who constructs or
operates the Project(s) 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;
