Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency has been keenly supported projects related to Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) since 2012. To continue the efforts on the development and implementation of GSR in Taiwan, this project aims to (1) introduce novel site investigation and remediation technologies in the context of GSR (2) further implementation of GSR framework and assessment tools (3) field demonstration of passive sampling tools (4) establish the audit system for projects that adopt GSR remedies (5) promotion of domestic environmental technology verification (ETV) protocol.
In collaboration with Professor Elizabeth Edwards from University of Toronto and James Landmeyer, PhD from USGS, we had successfully introduced a novel bioremediation strategy for chlorinated solvent and passive sampling tools, respectively, at 2 contaminated sites in Southern Taiwan. Tutorial videos and guidelines for bioremediation of chlorinated solvent and passive sampling were published. A phytoscreening database which included local tree database and the physiological capabilities in response to contamination was also devised. Additionally, with the help of academic and industrial experts, the domestic ETV protocol had been designed and awaited for further realization.
As for optimization of GSR assessment tools, 6 common remedy modules had been developed and integrated into the GSR platform and used for environmental impacts assessment for 3 sites, and feedbacks were obtained from those cases. We also reviewed 6 sites from previous GSR projects to evaluate the incentives and obstacles for GSR implementation. An audit system for soil and groundwater remediation projects was established and used to evaluate the performances of best management practices (BMPs) at 3 contaminated sites.
In conclusion, this project has introduced and demonstrated novel GSR technologies, assessment tools, audit system, and relevant guidelines which are beneficial for implementation of GSR in Taiwan. Recommendations have been made to address key concerns such as acquire baseline operational information for GSR platform optimization, encourage general adoption of GSR tools for remedy selection, and ensure complete compliance with GSR framework during site remediation.
