The main rivers within the jurisdiction of Chiayi City are Niuchou Creek (Puzi River Basin) and Bazhang Creek. Both cross the border of Chiayi County. The main pollution source in Chiayi City is domestic sewage. Since sewage sewer systems have not been universalized, this project realized and improved water quality in various river basins by "active inspection and control", "improvement tracking", "domestic sewage reduction", "river pollution prevention campaigns" and "promoting biogas manure as fertilizer” to prevent water pollutions, illegal discharges and promote environmental protection laws and policies related to animal husbandry to reduce of water pollution in various river basins and effectively reduce the environmental load of water bodies.
In terms of water pollution source inspection and water quality sampling work, inspections of 124 enterprises (100%) have been completed. No obvious violations were found except for some manufacturers with unknown pipelines in wastewater treatment facilities. Four of the unknown pipelines have been dismantled. Sampling of 17 enterprises were completed. There were 3 enterprises which exceeded the water discharge standard. Among them, 1 enterprise was not sanctioned due to manually activated the drainage valve in the sampling day. The other 2 enterprises were sanctioned by Water Pollution Control Act on June 21 and November 27. Community inspections and standardized contract promotion for all 26 communities in the city were completed and all were in normal operations, with 100% of operation rate. In addition, the project team also checked community’s electricity meters, pipeline labels, discharge outlet settings, flow meter settings, sludge facilities, meter records in communities and no obvious violations were found.
In terms of water pollution permit review, construction site and unlisted enterprise review, this project has assisted in reviewing 63 cases. Among them, 52 cases were approved; 3 cases were approved for changes; 1 case was approved for commissioning; 1 case without correction during specific period was rejected, and 6 cases were in amendment, including 15 cases for changes, 6 cases for extensions, 39 cases for extensions and changes, 1 cases for new application, and 2 cases for re-applications; 25 cases for runoff and wastewater review, and 18 cases for inspections, the construction sites did not start working projects and were no cases that violated Water Pollution Control Act. During subsequent re-inspections, 3 enterprises did not start their construction and the other enterprises has started their construction without violating Water Pollution Control Act. There were inspections for 30 unregistered factory sites, and they were not included in Water Pollution Control Act. The project team also completed 4 in-depth inspections and held a negotiation meeting at the same day. The enterprises submitted improvement schedule before November 30. 2 enterprises have already submitted improvement reports, and 1 enterprise has improved facility design based on committee members’ suggestions. The remaining 2 enterprises will submit improvement reports before December 30.
In the management and operation of the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Fund, Chiayi City has collected a total of approximately NTD 4.42 million and distributed approximately NTD 2.65 million to local government. This year, water pollution fees and auditing of 7 enterprises have been completed. Since 1 enterprise reported incorrect water volume, water pollution fees had to be recalculated. The Ministry of Environment has completed the re-examination based on the auditing results. The factory had to pay the water pollution fee NTD 298. The project team also assisted an electroplating industry in obtaining approval for the suspension and settlement of water pollution fee.
In terms of reusing ammonia and nitrogen from livestock wastewater, 4 livestock farms in Chiayi City have obtained approval of reusing livestock manure. The amount of irrigation increased in 2023 compared with the same period in 2022 (increased 120.85 metric tons). There were two livestock farms with low actual irrigation rate, including Mingxiu Livestock Farm (26.4%) and experimental husbandry farm of National Chiayi University (32%). The approved irrigation volume of Mingxiu Livestock Farm was higher than actual demand. Therefore, Mingxiu Livestock Farm will lower the approved irrigation volume in the future. There was no tank car in Chiayi University. Therefore, the project team will assist Chiayi University in applying subsidy for tank car from the Ministry of Environment to increase the actual irrigation volume.
In terms of water conservation and pollution reduction campaigns, one water conservation and pollution reduction campaign has been completed. Participants could not only join on-site activities, but also click “like” and comment on Environmental Protection Bureau’s official Facebook and join a lottery game. The lottery game attracted 481 likes, 155 shares, 415 comments, and reached 4,505 people.
In terms of meeting and event, 2 sessions of "Chiayi City Water Pollution Remediation Planning Promotion Group Meeting", 1 "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Related Laws and Public Meeting ", 2 sessions of education and training for patrol team, 1 "Meeting for leaders of Water patrol teams”, 1 “Meeting for leaders of water patrol team and Awarding of Outstanding Patrol Teams”, 1 "River (Pond) Cleaning Activity” ", and issued 4 press releases.
