lear with the EPB of SIPAC before it carries out the test. This is to ensure that the results of test will be recognised by SIPAC. When applying for the planning permit, a prerequisite for the planning department to grant a design approval is that the EIA (if it was required) or ESA form must have been pleted and approved. Facilities for pollution prevention and control must be designed, constructed and put into use along with the main project. The pollution prevention and control plans (blue prints) must be approved by the EPB before applying for the construction permit. For details, refer to the “Handbook on Development Guidelines in SIP Planning, Construction and Environment Protection”. When construction and renovation is pleted, the EPB must be notified to e and give its approval. Within one month of starting operations, panies should plete an application form to apply for written permission to discharge pollutants. During the course of production, the pollution prevention and control facilities may not be dismantled or left idle without permission. Whoever does so shall be ordered to reinstate the facilities and a fine may be imposed. Whenever it is necessary to stop or dismantle the facilities, the pany must obtain advance approval from the EPB.Environmental considerations for site selection in SIP Clean industries (無污染工業(yè)) such industries do not use massive quantities of toxic and harmful chemicals, do not produce air, water and noise pollution, and are odourfree. Such can be located anywhere within the industrial zone in SIP. Light industries (輕污染工業(yè)) such industries do not use massive quantities of toxic and harmful chemicals, do not set up boiler facilities which use coal and oil, do not produce noise pollution, and do not produce massive quantities of sewage or waste residues. Such industries shall be sited with a buffer zone of at least 50 meters from the nearest residential building. General industries (一般工業(yè)) such industries are required to set up pollution prevention and control facilities according to environmental protection requirements. They shall be sited with a buffer zone at least 100 meters from the nearest residential building. Special industries (特殊工業(yè)) such industries use relatively large quantities of toxic and harmful chemicals, and hence produce substantial amounts of sewage and/or solid wastes. Such industries should be sited with a buffer zone of at least 500 meters from the nearest residential building. 7 /
