The 4 major achievements in this project are shown below: 1. Preparation of reference manuals for the investigation, verification and emergency measures for countering pollution from oil storage tank systems Based on the characteristics of pollution from oil storage tank systems, the requirements of environmental protection agencies and numerous foreign and domestic examples, the following 6 types of reference manuals were prepared.  Pollution investigation manuals  Emergency measures and verification manuals  Pollution area investigation manuals  Pollution remediation verification manuals  Pollution site investigation and assessment manuals  Remediation manuals 2. Study and amendment of current laws and regulations relating to pollution prevention from oil storage tank systems One of the purposes of this project was to study and prepare the amendments to the “Management Measures for Facilities and Monitoring Equipment for the Prevention of Groundwater Pollution” and “Review and Monitoring Record Report Preparation Guide for Facilities and Monitoring Equipment for the Prevention of Oil Storage Tank Systems Groundwater Pollution”. This project was also to study and prepare measures for the promotion of certification and appraisal systems for investigation, leak detection, and remediation of storage tank systems by professional agencies. 3. Verification of the pollution remediation of oil storage tank systems This project was also to verify the pollution status of the soil and groundwater of 12 gas stations, including Tasya- Shinjhuan, by setting up 24 standard groundwater monitoring wells, and analyzing 57 groundwater and 48 soil samples. The analysis showed that only 1 station had met the pollution control standard, thus proving that the pollution remediation for most of the gas stations had not been performed well. 4. Two seminars were held to publicize the project findings, three expert consulting meetings were convened, and assistance was given to the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in performing project related activities
