2.
Measures and Submissions before Commencement of Construction of the
Project
Employment of Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A)
Personnel
2.1
An Environmental Team (ET) shall be established by the Permit Holder
no later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project. The
ET shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor or the
Independent Auditor 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 Manual 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 EIA Report
(Register No. AEIAR-089/2005) and this Permit. The ET Leader shall notify
the Independent Auditor 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 EIA Report
(Register No. AEIAR-089/2005) 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 Independent Auditor shall be established by the Permit Holder no
later than one month before commencement of construction of the Project. The
Independent Auditor shall not be in any way an associated body of the Contractor
or the ET for the Project. The Independent Auditor shall be a person who has at
least 7 years of experience in EM&A or environmental management. The
Independent Auditor shall be responsible for duties defined in the EM&A
Manual, and shall audit the overall EM&A performance, including the
implementation of all environmental mitigation measures, submissions required in
the EM&A Manual, and any other submissions required under this Permit. In
addition, the Independent Auditor shall be responsible for verifying the
environmental acceptability of permanent and temporary works, relevant design
plans and submissions under this Permit. The Independent Auditor shall verify
the log-book(s) mentioned in Condition 2.1 of this Permit. The Independent
Auditor shall notify the Director by fax or email, 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 EIA
Report (Register No. AEIAR-089/2005) and this Permit, which may affect
the monitoring or control of adverse environmental impacts from the Project. In
the case where the Independent Auditor fails to so notify the Director of the
same, fails to discharge the duties of the Independent Auditor 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 Independent Auditor.
Failure to replace the Independent Auditor as directed or further failure to so
notify the Director despite employment of a new Independent Auditor may render
the Permit liable to suspension, cancellation or variation. Notification by the
Permit Holder is the same as notification by the Independent Auditor for the
purpose of this Condition.
2.3 The
Permit Holder shall no later than one month before commencement of construction
of the Project deposit with the Director three copies of 1:20 000 scale layout
drawings showing the project boundary and the location of each mud pit with
coordinates. The layout drawings so provided shall conform to the assessment
that has been conducted in the EIA Review Report attached to the application for
Environmental Permit (Application No. AEP-427/2011) and shall show the tolerable
range of accuracy of any plans and/or lines.

Permit Holder shall no later than one month before commencement of construction
of the Project deposit with the Director three copies of 1:1000 scale
bathymetric survey drawings showing the original seabed levels within the
project boundary prior to the construction of the Project.

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

2.5
在工程項目的建造工程展開前，許可證持有人須至少提早1個月向署長提交工程項目更新的環監手冊的4份硬複本及1份電子版本以供審批。更新的環監手冊在提交署長前，須由環境小組組長核證及獨立審核人員核實，證明其符合連同環境許可證申請書（申請書編號：AEP-427/2011）提交的環評檢討報告所載的資料及建議。
