The Promoting Project of Revitalization and Management of Brownfield Sites

Absrtact	In order to promote the efficiency of remediation work, and sustainable development of land resources in Taiwan, the project continuing the results from the former project. The related management system and complementary measures were improved, and the sites with revitalized potential were counseled. For advancing the administrative efficiency, the project modified the process of article 24, paragraph 4 in Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act, and developed review principles for site revitalization. Revitalization works were drawn up to be merged into site performance indicators to encourage local government to implement the strategy. For the policy of installing solar power on contaminated land, the project made an inventory of site area including the factory with contaminated groundwater and the contaminated farmland. Also, the system for concurrent remediation of pollution and installation of solar power was drawn up in order to promote the efficiency of remediation work, and achieving the goal of promoting renewable energy. This system reduces the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Fund expenditure on contaminated farmland about 39%. Additionally, the project analyzed the related information between contaminated characteristic and remediation costing, in order to build up detail information in the contaminated land appraisal guideline for appraisers. Moreover, the project screened out 20 sites with revitalized potential in Taiwan, by discussing implementation measures on these sites with the counseling group, 5 types of revitalized procedure were generalized, and completed revitalization planning for 2 sites were made. In order to advocate the brownfield site revitalization policy, the project held 4 expert consultant meetings, 32 explanations with 448 participants and a conference with 153 participants. Moreover, the project made experience sharing in Germany and Canada. Taiwan EPA’s strategies of promoting the brownfield site revitalization policy have been accomplished with the consolidated results of the aforementioned works.
