The purpose of this project is to assist the local Environmental Protection Bureau with the auditing and reviewing tasks mandated by Articles 8 and 9 of the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act. 870 cases have been reviewed and audited by the project, taking an average of 4.6 days for each case. In addition, the project has helped to complete 899 cases of digitization tasks. Assessment investigation personnel and professional engineers with relatively high error rates have been selected by the project and randomly audited their sampling operations in the field. A total of 143 field audits were conducted to ensure that the sampling process conforms to the purpose of Articles 8 and 9 of the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act, and that the submitted samples are representative of the population. Four designated industry seminars and two assessment investigation personnel seminars were held for the project to ensure the industry and operation personnel fully understand the relevant regulations of Articles 8 and 9 of the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act. To ensure successful transfer of the auditing task to the local Environmental Protection Bureau, 12 Environmental Protection Bureau training sessions have been held for the project. Aside from fully transferring the auditing experience, field practice sessions were also conducted. Additionally, a Guide to Auditing has been written for the Environmental Protection Bureau to quickly check key points while performing an audit.
