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.

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

Measures to mitigate water quality impacts
3.17B The Permit Holder 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 for the construction of box culverts and
seawalls at Portion D, the Fire Services Department (FSD) Rescue Berth and APM
Tunnel. FSD Rescue Berth and APM shall not commence construction before the
completion of reclamation of the HKBCF and TMCLKL southern landfall, unless
with prior approval by the Director. The Permit Holder shall notify the
Director in writing any proposed changes in the construction sequences and/or
arrangements before implementation of such changes. The proposed changes shall
be certified by the ET Leader and verified by the IEC as conforming to the
information and requirements contained in the EIA Report.
3.17D A layer of geotextile shall be placed
on top of the seabed before any filling activities take place inside the
cellular structures to form the seawall. To prevent spillage of the filling
materials onto the surrounding water, the conveyor belts shall be fitted with
windboards and conveyor release points shall be covered with curtain.
3.17E Except for the filling of the
cellular structures, not more than 15% public fill shall be used for reclamation
filling below +2.5mPD during construction of the seawall. After the seawall is
completed except for the
3.17H Only grab dredgers shall be used for dredging works in
this Project. Each grab dredger shall be enclosed by a cage type silt curtain
with steel enclosure as illustrated in Figure
8 of this Permit to reduce sediment loss to the surrounding environment
during dredging operation.
3.17I No more than 5 filling barge trips per day
shall be made with a maximum
daily rate of
3.17J Upon
completion of
3.17K During the stone column
installation, silt curtain shall be installed near the active stone column
installation points as indicated in Figure
29 of this Permit. A layer of
geotextile with stone blanket on top shall be placed on the seabed prior to
stone column installation works.
Measures to mitigate water quality impacts from
re-deposition of Dredged Sediment in Sheet Pile Cellular Structures
3.18 The
dredged sediment from the Project shall be disposed of inside the sheet pile
cellular structures within the Project boundary or the re-deposition area
described in Condition
3.19 Before
re-deposition the dredged sediment, a layer of geotextile shall be placed at
the bottom of the sheet pile cellular structures to avoid the direct contact of
the re-deposited sediment and the bottom sediment.
3.20 Not used.
3.22 The dredged sediment
shall not be disturbed after re-deposition. No piling works or deep foundation
which may disturb the dredged sediment is allowed within the cellular structures
as described in Condition 3.18 of this Permit.
Measures to mitigate water quality impacts from
re-deposition of Dredged Sediment within Designated Re-deposition Area
3.22B Prior
to the erection of the steel sheet piles and re-deposition of sediment, silt
curtain shall be installed around the area of the re-deposition subarea.
3.22D After the re-deposition of sediment
within the re-deposition subarea, a layer of geotextile and a minimum
3.22E Field
trial(s) shall be carried out to demonstrate that the removal of the temporary
steel sheet piles walls would not cause adverse water quality impacts. A Trial Report shall be endorsed by the
IEC and deposited to the Director.
No removal of the steel sheet piles, except those involved in the field
trial(s), shall be carried out before the Trial Report is endorsed by the IEC
and is deposited to the Director.
Measures to
mitigate air quality impacts during construction phase
3.23 The Permit Holder
shall undertake watering at least 8 times per day on all exposed soil within
the Project site and associated work areas throughout the construction phase.
