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 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

implementation of all environmental mitigation measures, submissions required
in the SCL(TAW-HUH)
EM&A Manual and SCL(HHS) 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 SCL(TAW-HUH) EIA
Report (Register No. AEIAR-167/2012) and SCL(HHS) EIA
Report (Register No. AEIAR-164/2012) 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.

the commencement of construction of the Project, the Permit Holder shall set up
Community Liaison Groups comprising representatives of concerned and affected parties, including
owners’ corporations, management offices, local committees, residents and
