Artificial Islands in the Central Waters Clause Samples

Artificial Islands in the Central Waters. The proposal of developing artificial islands in the Central Waters was announced in the 2018 Policy Address. Investigation studies under Agreement No. CE 15/2020 (CE) Artificial Islands in the Central Waters - Investigation (“the CW Study”) commenced in June 2021 for completion in 2024. The scope of works for the studies includes (4): ◼ a detailed planning and engineering (P&E) study for the Kau ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (KYC) Artificial Islands to establish the reclamation extent, land uses and technical feasibility, including the formulation of detailed land use proposals, preparation of preliminary design of the associated engineering works, and conducting statutory environmental impact assessment (EIA) and other detailed impact assessments (including fisheries impact assessment) as well as public engagement exercise in relation to the formulation of development proposals; ◼ a transport infrastructure study which covers: ▪ an area-wide transport study covering the priority road and rail links as well as the possible road and rail links for longer term, between Hong Kong Island, the artificial islands in the Central Waters, Lantau and coastal areas of Tuen Mun; ▪ an engineering study to ascertain the feasibility of the priority road links between Hong Kong Island, the KYC Artificial Islands (KYCAI) and Northeast Lantau, and the priority rail links between Hong Kong Island, the KYCAI, Northeast Lantau and coastal areas of Tuen Mun; and ▪ an investigation study for the priority road links between Hong Kong Island and Northeast Lantau, via the KYCAI, including preliminary design, statutory EIA and other detailed impact assessments; and ◼ collection of information (including ecological, environmental and geological conditions) on waters within and in the vicinity of the possible artificial islands near Hei ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (HLC) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ South (CCS) for future reference in long-term planning.

Artificial Islands in the Central Waters. This project involves reclamation at marine waters near Kau ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. The project is currently in planning stage and there is little information available. Preliminary information obtained from the public domain indicated project construction could proceed as early as 2027. Engineering design on project construction is not currently available. Given the recent trend on major reclamation in Hong Kong (i.e. Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities, the Expansion of Hong Kong International Airport into a Three-Runway System (3RS Project), ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ New Town Extension (East) and the Integrated Waste Management Facilities Phase 1), it is expected non-dredged method(s) would be widely implemented so as to reduce the amount of dredging required. Furthermore, marine filling is expected to be commenced behind (partially) completed seawall, together with silt curtain surrounding the works area to minimize the offsite migration of fine from the required dredging, ground improvement and marine filling operations. Given the lack of construction details and uncertainties for this potential reclamation, cumulative sediment impact from project construction would not be taken into account in this Study. The project proponent for the potential artificial islands in the central waters will conduct separate water quality modelling assessment based on the appropriate details to be developed during its planning and investigation stage. Effect of potential change in coastline would be taken into account for assessment for operation phase flow regime change.

  • Dewatering (a) Where the whole of a site is so affected by surface water following a period of rain that all productive work is suspended by agreement of the Parties, then dewatering shall proceed as above with Employees so engaged being paid at penalty rates as is the case for safety rectification work. This work is typically performed by Employees engaged within CW1, CW2 or CW3 classifications. When other Employees are undertaking productive work in an area or areas not so affected then dewatering will only attract single time rates. (b) Where a part of a site is affected by surface water following a period of rain, thus rendering some areas unsafe for productive work, consistent with the Employer’s obligations under the OH&S Act, appropriate Employees shall assist in the tidying up of their own work site or area if it is so affected. Where required, appropriate Employees will be provided with the appropriate PPE. Such work to be paid at single time rates. Productive work will continue in areas not so affected. (c) To avoid any confusion any ‘dewatering’ time which prevents an Employee from being engaged in their normal productive work is not included in any calculation for the purposes of determining whether an Employee is entitled to go home due to wet weather (refer clauses 32.4 and 32.5)

  • Environmental Tobacco Smoke Public Law 103-227 (also known as the Pro-Children Act of 1994) and Vermont’s Act 135 (2014) (An act relating to smoking in lodging establishments, hospitals, and child care facilities, and on State lands) restrict the use of tobacco products in certain settings. Party shall ensure that no person is permitted: (i) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes as defined in 7 V.S.A. § 1001 on the premises, both indoor and outdoor, of any licensed child care center or afterschool program at any time; (ii) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes on the premises, both indoor and in any outdoor area designated for child care, health or day care services, kindergarten, pre-kindergarten, elementary, or secondary education or library services; and (iii) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes on the premises of a licensed or registered family child care home while children are present and in care. Party will refrain from promoting the use of tobacco products for all clients and from making tobacco products available to minors. Failure to comply with the provisions of the federal law may result in the imposition of a civil monetary penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation and/or the imposition of an administrative compliance order on the responsible entity. The federal Pro-Children Act of 1994, however, does not apply to portions of facilities used for inpatient drug or alcohol treatment; service providers whose sole source of applicable federal funds is Medicare or Medicaid; or facilities where Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) coupons are redeemed.
