Notes:
1. This

(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.

designated project listed in Part I of Schedule 2 of the EIAO without a valid
environmental permit.

conviction on indictment to a fine of $5 million and to imprisonment for 2
years;
(iii)
on a first summary conviction to a
fine at level 6 and to imprisonment for 6 months;
(iv)
on a second or subsequent summary
conviction to a fine of $1 million and to imprisonment for 1 year; and
(v)

a continuing nature, the court or magistrate may impose a fine of $10,000 for
each day on which he is satisfied the offence continued.
8. The
Permit Holder may appeal against any condition of this Permit under Section 17
of the EIAO within 30 days of receipt of this Permit.
9.
The Notes are for general reference
only and that the Permit Holder should refer to the EIAO for details and seek
independent legal advice.
