The scope of this project was mainly categorized into the following two parts: 1. to establish a response team that assisted government in handling the incidents of soil and groundwater pollution; and 2. to continually revise the original “Soil and Groundwater Contamination Emergency Response Manual (SGCERM)”. The response team finished 9 incidents of soil or groundwater pollution. The conducting item of each incident included site survey, soil or groundwater investigation, pollution evaluation, source identification, and others that base on EPA’s requirements. All the outcome of conducting result of each incident are fully following the contract of project, and fitting in EPA’s requirements and objects. That helps EPA know well about the extent of pollution and easier to follow-up or decide an appropriate response. According to the result of above, there are 5 site’s soil or groundwater were polluted and pollutant’s concentration exceeds soil or groundwater pollution standard. All the 5 polluted sites, local EPBs are doing things that following relative regulation. After investigated each incident and emergency response measures of soil and groundwater pollution for the past years, the project classify different emergency response measures by its function, which included pollution source control, limit polluted range and prevent receptors to endanger. The revised SGCERM was slightly adjusted in accordance with its achievement.
