This annual project has reviewed and supervised the approved environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports of six development projects, which are the 1st nuclear power plant, the 4th nuclear power plant, the 3rd phase of Central Taiwan Science Park (Houli Science Park),Tree Valley Park, the 6th Naphtha Cracker Project of Formosa Plastics Corporation, and the 3rd Naphtha Cracker Renovation and Expansion Project of CPC Corporation, Taiwan in the contract period. It helps the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) to implement the “Environmental Impact Assessment Act” and to monitor the commitments in environmental impact assessment reports and to examine conclusions of each development stage in the construction and operation period. In order to monitor the effective of the environmental impact assessment and to examine EIA commitments, the project investigated on the spot every month, to conduct the environmental monitor three times of each season, and also to handle the surveillance committee meeting for every season. Through the intensive supervision task forces during the year, the developer has been able to meet the requirement of EIA commitments. The EPA is always kept informed and can deal with relevant regulations and laws when abnormal circumstances occurred. Finally, this project comes up with five recommendations as follows to the committee: 1.The surveillance experience suggests that it is needed to establish key point, each season and to audit on the spot monthly. 2. The surveillance should follow immediately after the development plan carries out, and then the EPA carries on the surveillance in EIA commitments and conclusions. 3. It is very essential to implement environmental monitoring plan and then response to the construction and operation phases of the environmental impact in time. 4. The EIA surveillance committee should have functions to comment and to play the role of solving related problems, in order to promote the implementation of EIA regulations. 5. Local members of EIA committee can reflect the local opinions of the development projects instantly during the EIA surveillance period, so the committee should response to their opinions immediately.
