Since the November of 2001, over 5.7 billion NT dollars of soil and groundwater pollution remediation fee has been collected. During this project execution period, 695, 765, 716, and 742 declaration reports was reviewed in the second, third, and forth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, respectively. The reviewing results were then sent to the fee payers. After the completion of reviews, an audit was carried out by the accountant to check if the collected remediation fee is compliant with the information listed in the declaration reports. Additionally, 62, 54, 51, and 61 export refund cases were reviewed in each quarter of the project execution period. The quarterly audit reports were submitted to EPA by the auditor. 320 on-site inspections were completed during the project execution period, which include 191 correct declaration cases (including those who made correction in their cases) and 129 cases required further inspection. It was found that lubricant was the major item that required for further inspections. As the result of follow-up on-site inspections, over 4.86 million NT dollars was retrieved. With the increasing expenditure and the problems with the collection of the remediation fee, proposals regarding the revision of the fee collection policies were made to accommodate the 30 billion dollars needed in the next 25 years. Preliminary planning includes: the inclusion of coal, iron and solid waste into the fee collection criteria, the contribution from other environmental funds, the cancelation of export refunds, and the combination of insurance and construction refunds. We assist with the negotiation between the EPA and the manufacturers in the future. We provide technical services include two telephone lines (02-27468365；02-27689831) and web system (soil@sinotech.com.tw) for related consultation and information to fee payers. We report our work on a regular basis and the feedback of fee payers to EPA.
