Employment of Environmental Monitoring and
Audit (EM&A) Personnel
2.1 An Environmental Team (ET) shall be established
by the Permit Holder no later than 6 weeks before the commencement of
construction of the Project. The ET shall not be in any way an associated body
of the Contractor or the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) for the
Project. The ET shall be headed by an ET Leader. The ET leader shall be a
person who has at least 7 years of 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

occurrence of any such instance or circumstance or change of circumstances. The
ET Leader¡¦s 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 shall be employed by the Permit Holder no later than 6 weeks before commencement of
construction of the Project. The IEC shall not be in any way an associated body
of the Contractor or the ET for the Project. The IEC shall be a person who has
at least 7 years of 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 performance, 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 one working day of receipt of
notification from the ET Leader of each and every occurrence, change of
circumstances or non-compliance with the EIA Report and this Permit, which
might affect the monitoring or control of adverse environmental impacts from
the Project. In the case where the IEC fails to so notify the Director of the same, fails to discharge the duties of the IEC as defined in
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.

Fisheries and Conservation.
2.6
The Permit Holder
shall deposit with the Director prior to the commencement of marine works of
the Project, three hard copies and one electronic copy of a Dolphin Watching

be devised to cope with any unpredicted incidents such as the case that Chinese
White Dolphin is found within the water surrounded by the silt curtains.
2.7
The Permit Holder shall deposit with the Director
at least 1 month before the commencement of construction of the Project, three
hard copies and one electronic copy of a Spill Response Plan detailing the
actions to be taken in the event of accidental spillage of oil or other
hazardous chemicals from construction activities including vessels operating
for the Project, with specific provisions for protecting marine ecology and the
Chinese White Dolphins.
2.8
To minimize the chance of vessel collision and the
disturbance to the Chinese White Dolphins, the Permit Holder shall deposit with
the Director, at least 2 weeks before the commencement of the construction of
the Project, three hard copies and one electronic copy of a plan showing the
regular marine travel routes of vessels moving to and from the Project work
sites. Any subsequent changes to the regular routes shall be verified by the
IEC as conforming to the requirements in the EIA Report and deposited with the
Director.
Landscape
and Visual Plan
2.9
The Permit Holder shall deposit with the
Director, at least 1 month before the commencement of construction of relevant part of the
Project, three hard copies and one electronic copy of a landscape and visual

and disposal of different categories of waste to be generated from the
construction activities and shall include the recommended mitigation measures
on waste management in the EIA Report.
The WMP shall indicate the disposal location(s) of all surplus excavated
spoil and other waste. A trip
ticket system shall be included in the WMP. Surplus excavated spoil and other wastes
shall only be disposed of at designated disposal locations unless otherwise

measures recommended in the WMP shall be fully and properly implemented by the
Permit Holder and any person working on the Project throughout the construction
period.

shall construct the Project in accordance with Figures 11 to 28 of this
Permit. The perimeter silt curtains
as described in Figure 12 shall be installed around the HKBCF site before the
commencement of marine works. No
dredging works of marine sediment shall be carried out for the Project except
