| 摘要 | Water 2016 River Water Quality Best Since Monitoring Started The EPA has announced the river water quality monitoring results for 2016. The proportion of heavily-polluted river segments, considered an important indicator for river quality, was greatly reduced to 2.5% overall for 50 major rivers. Meanwhile, the proportion of heavily-polluted segments in the 11 key rivers undergoing remediation decreased to 7.4%, compared to 13.2% in 2001. Results for both the 50 major rivers and the 11 key remediation rivers are the best results ever observed since river monitoring started in 2001. The EPA hopes that by encouraging reporting of violations, increased penalties, better total heavy metal discharge control, and livestock waste reutilization will help achieve the goal of getting all rivers off the heavily-polluted list as soon as possible. |

The EPA hopes that by encouraging reporting of violations, increased penalties, better total heavy metal discharge control, and livestock waste reutilization will help achieve the goal of getting all rivers off the heavily-polluted list as soon as possible. The EPA states that the three major river pollution sources in Taiwan are household, industrial and livestock wastewater. Rolling inspections and analysis on nationwide river water quality are conducted on a yearly basis. Seriously polluted river segments are to be set as key monitoring station sites for water quality improvement, so as to accomplish the ultimate goal of lowering water pollution at all monitoring stations to the moderately polluted level or less. Regarding the three major river pollution sources, the EPA has been working on the implementation of various reduction strategies for severe pollution and is continuously enhancing the plans. Not only was the Water Pollution Control Act （水污染防治法）amended on 4 February 2015 to raise the maximum fine imposed for violations to NT$20 million, but illegal gains in the event of serious violations will also be confiscated. The amendments also encouraged the public to report violations. If the information regarding a violation is proven to be accurate, the informer will be rewarded. New provisions were also added to the Water Pollution Control Act which stipulate enterprises that discharge, store, or dilute wastewater without permits will not only be fined but also be ordered to suspend their operations or business entirely. To carry out total quantity control of river pollution, the EPA selected three cities/counties (Taoyuan City, Taichung City, and Changhua County) with more serious farmland pollution in 2016 to promote the Total Heavy Metal Discharge Quantity Control Plan for Farmland Water Body Protection, and completed the delineation and announcement of total quantity control zones. Moreover, the EPA assists local governments to conduct inspections and tighten the effluent standards of pollution sources located along the banks of some rivers. To expedite the pollution improvement process for rivers with serious pollution or high heavy metal values, the EPA will continue to supervise and assist local governments to promote total quantity control of heavily polluted river segments and to tighten effluent standards so as to reduce river pollution caused by industrial wastewater. Furthermore, the EPA has been continuously promoting the use of livestock fermentation liquid and sediments as farmland fertilizer. As of the end of 2016, there were a total of 22 livestock farms whose farmland fertilizer usage applications had been approved, totaling 146 hectares of irrigated agricultural land. The EPA expects to reach the goal of approving farmland fertilizer usage applications from at least 100 livestock farms in 2017, and to continually reduce the wastewater effluent discharge into rivers. |
