The Program B was to confirm the degree of heavy metal pollution and to take remediation measures on restricted farmlands in Changhua. Aforementioned farmlands were located in Hemei town. The work of this subprogram included (1) submitting a work plan, pollution control plans, monthly results and daily construction records of the work, and progressing reports, (2) holding discussions for farmers and landholders, (3) confirming the degree of heavy metal pollution of polluted farmlands, (4) carrying site remediation by soil dilution, self-verification, third-party-verification, fertilization, and finally (8) lifting site restriction. All work was conducted according to the contract. Besides, EPB also held discussions at regular intervals to know well the work. Moreover, to avoid abnormal use of the restricted farmlands, we went around and inspected once two month. Furthermore, we assist in updating a “Remediation management system of Changhua polluted farmland” to manage and control the schedule, helping EPB get involved in the project. As of June 2018 the achievements of program B included (1) confirming the degree of heavy metal pollution on 158 numbers (32.3 hectares) of polluted farmlands, after that 114 numbers (25.38 hectares) of farmlands were classified as soil-dilution-site, 43 numbers (6.86 hectares) were classified as Soil-excavation-method-with-clean-soil-backfilled-site, other 1 numbers were suspected waste landfill, will be identified during the remediation phase.(2) holding 2 terms of discussions for farmers and landholders (3) complete site remediation on 111 numbers (24.5 hectares), 111 numbers (24.5 hectares) by self-verification, 111 numbers (24.5 hectares) by third-party-verification, 111 numbers (24.5 hectares) by implemented fertilization.And finally lifting site restriction as to recovery agricultural use for contaminated-farmlands.
