Investigation, Verification, and Technical Support for the Incidents of Soil and Groundwater Pollution (2006)

Absrtact
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 11 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 four site’s soil or groundwater were polluted and pollutant’s concentration exceeds soil or groundwater pollution standard. All the four polluted sites, local EPBs are doing things that following relative regulation. After meeting with relative government authorities, the revised SGCERM was slightly adjusted to the conclusions of meeting. Basically, the revised SGCERM is ready for executing. Moreover, the project also tests the revised SGCERM with different kinds of cases, which included agricultural land, factory, dumping site, or gasoline station pollution incidents. The result of test confirmed the revised SGCERM can match the real response process. However, it also needs to revise continually, and let it easier and suitable for government agency.
