Notes:
註:
1.
This Permit consists of three parts,
namely, Part A (Main Permit), Part B (Description of Designated Project(s))
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.
本許可證共有3部，即A部 (許可證主要部分)；B部 (指定工程項目的說明) 及C部 (許可證條件)。任何援引本許可證的人士須就環評條例的法律含意徵詢獨立法律意見，下述註解只供一般參考用。
2.
If there is a breach of any conditions 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.
如違反本許可證的任何條件，署長或獲授權人員徵得環境局局長的同意後可勒令停止相關工程，直至許可證持有人為所造成的環境損害採取補救行動為止。在此情況下，許可證持有人未經署長或獲授權人員同意，不得進行任何相關工程。
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.
許可證持有人可根據環評條例第13條的規定向署長申請更改本許可證的條件。許可證持有人須把經修改的許可證替換在工程項目工地內展示的原有許可證。
4.
A person who assumes the responsibility
for the whole or a part of the designated project(s) may, before he assumes
responsibility of the designated project(s), apply under Section 12 of the EIAO
to the Director for a further environmental permit.
承擔工程項目整項或部分工程的責任的人，在承擔責任之前，可根據環評條例第12條的規定向署長申請新的環境許可證。
5.
