The main rivers in Kaohsiung City always take a risk of the discharged domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater and livestock wastewater. Before construction of sewage system becomes popular, environmental units promote administrative control, including effluent standard control, inspection system, permit system and periodic pollution reporting, so as to achieve the maximum effectiveness of administrative controls, and supplement each other between the systems. This project expects to use professional manpower from private sectors to actively conduct effective control wastewater (sewage) disposal for industries and sewage systems in the territory, thoroughly mastering all disposal situations, so that Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) can adopt tracking management to controlled industries in the future.
This project was executed from March 05 to Dec. 31, 2016 (about 10 months) for monthly analysis of water quality from Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at key river survey stations, in which Ertseng Bridge, Nanhsiung Bridge and Shihan Bridge on Erren River were found improved at 2016 Kaohsiung City key survey station (the period to the period of 2014); RPI water quality improvement rate for three bridges was 13.0 %, 1.75 % and 7.4%, respectively, Ertseng Bridge of which has the most obvious improvement while RPI for Akungtien Bridge and Chienchou Bridge was severer than those in the year 2015, with negative improvement rate.
In 2016, our team executed industrial pollution sources inspection/patrol operation, aiming at controlled objects and sewage system in total 2020 cases/times (target quantity 1500 cases/times at 100% achieving rate). Sampling effluent each detection item, totaling 1058 cases/times, and sampling effluent objects, totaling 870 cases/times for controlled industrial unit’s effective inspection were more than 100% achieving rate. Unknown pipelines in 10 places were seized (target quantity 20 places/achieving rate 50%) upon closed conduit survey and underlying discharges monitoring, which tube sealing operation for the seizure of closed conduit has been announced.
The notice of function assessment exercise for 5 wastewater disposal facilities was dispatched to industrial unit on June 23, 2016; preliminary assessment was completed on July 1, 2016, reassessment processed on July 18~20 and 5 cases/times completed by Oct.30, 2016 under the agreement.
In-depth review of wastewater disposal facilities function was handled for 5 controlled industries. Pre-basic review and in-depth review began from June 23, 2016, including executive methods and sampling points, and industrial on-site review and sampling from July 11 to 21. After SGS issued an analysis report of water sample and water quality, specialists and scholars completed worksheet for 5 industries on middle Sept., convening negotiation meeting on Sept. 21 to explain review results and improvement items guaranteed by the industries, and completing in-depth review at the end of Oct., 2016.
Regarding collection management for water pollution prevention fee, our team has completed on-site review and sampling for industries notified and reviewed by EPA and the likelihood of the shortage of water pollution fee on the last period, handling on-site review of the reduction and exemption of applicant’s water pollution fee, water quality detection and tracking management in total 59 cases/times; sampling from 103 large scale emission industries was also completed; additionally, to match pretage work for phase II water pollution fee collection and effectively control pollution sources and discharge quantity for Kaohsiung City stock farming, our team aimed at controlled stock farming and stock farming without emission license to conduct on-site review, which total 303 cases/times were completed at 100% achieving rate.
In order to put the improvement of water environment into practice in this project, our team irregularly and positively communicate patrol team to understand the situation of patrol. “2016 Kaohsiung City Water Environment Patrol Team Results Review Seminar” was held by the end of the year to appreciate patrol team members’ efforts, praise their hard work and enhance the friendship in between teams. Additionally, our ream guided Hualien Steel Co., Ltd. to establish a patrol team at Akungtien River on Aug., 2016, and Fengshan Peimen Village to establish a water environment patrol team on Dec. 11. The founding conference was held upon the beginning of the establishment of water environment patrol team, including the agenda, such as morale-building meetings, bestowal of patrol equipments and patrol educational training.
Biogas residue ＆ biogas slurry in stock farming was used to promote fertilizer constituents for the farmland, showing great results from 2016 the application plan for Kaohsiung City biogas residue ＆ biogas slurry. Our team completed field survey for 37 stock farming who had willingness, totaling sampling from 16 stock farming, in which 4 of 15 stock farming have passed project plan sent for reviewing, the champion of six municipalities, 5 under re-review in Council of Agriculture, 6 under first review in Agriculture Bureau and 1 failure of application as the soil exceeded soil pollution monitoring standards (food crop farmland). Besides, our team has completed two explanation sessions of stock farming on July 6, 2016, including introduction of Water Pollution Control Act and practical cases share and efficiency analysis of biogas residue & biogas slurry.
Other interface issues including 5 explanation sessions on Apr. 26 and 4 sessions of Kaohsiung City “Industrial Water Pollution Controlled Information Management System and Public Query Platform System”, were completed on June 21 to aim at water pollution permit obtained in the 2nd ~5th echelon and complete more instructions for declaration objects; one explanation session of Kaohsiung City “Dedicated Unit or Personnel Placing Management Methods for Industrial Wastewater (Sewage) Disposal” and “ Industrial Water Pollution Controlled Information Management System and Public Query Platform System” were held on Oct.3, and “Extended Setup of Wastewater (Sewage) Automatic Monitoring Facilities and Connection” on Nov.29, at 100% achieving rate, which assisted Chunyu Enterprise Ltd., Fuyi Metal Industry Co., Ltd., Tengyang Technology Co., Ltd., Taitu Enterprise Ltd., Changshunyuan Enterprise Ltd. Plant 1 and Yungchin Enterprise Ltd. in the review of resumption of work; gave assistance of emergency response to water pollution and sampling from abnormal river water quality, in total 5 times of abnormal water color, including CPC Corp.’s pipeline leak pollution, abnormal water color on Fengshan River Tachih Bridge and black water color on Fengshan River Tatung Bridge; furthermore, our team will make monthly inventory and maintenance for the relevant equipments. Aiming at 50 oil fields in the territory of Kaohsiung City, our team would inspect to provide guidance and set up file for those spill dikes, which 50 cases/times have been completed by the end of Dec. (target quantity 50 cases/times/ achieving rate 100%); According to agreements, the relevant administrative operation, including monthly progress statement, briefing operation and bureau administration, has been completed.
