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. 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 in accordance with the EM&A requirements as
contained in the EM&A Plan in the Project Profile (Register No.
PP-472/2012) of the Project.
The ET Leader shall keep a contemporaneous log-book of each and every instance
or circumstance or change of circumstances, which may affect the compliance
with the recommendations of the Project Profile (Register No. PP-472/2012) and
this Permit. The ET Leader shall notify the IEC within one working day of the
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 Project Profile (Register No. PP-472/2012) 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 Plan in the Project Profile (Register No. PP-472/2012) 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 one month 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 Plan in the Project
Profile (Register No. PP-472/2012) and shall audit the overall EM&A
performance, including the implementation of all environmental mitigation
measures, submissions required in the EM&A Plan in the Project Profile
(Register No. PP-472/2012), 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 Project Profile (Register No. PP-472/2012) and this Permit, which may
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 Plan in the
Project Profile (Register No. PP-472/2012) 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.
Management Organization of Main Construction
Companies
2.3
The
Permit Holder shall, no later than two weeks before the commencement of

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
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.
4. A
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 EIAO to the Director for a further environmental permit.
5. Under
