Abstract
Since the establishment of the Industrial Waste Control Centre by the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan in October 2000, The management of industrial waste has involved more internet and scientific techonology. The relevant managements measures include submission of disposal proposals, online reporting of industrial wastes, GPS tracking of disposal vehicles, and the use of radio-frequency idenfitication and closed circuit television technology. Nevertheless, cases of illegal disposal have not been reduced despite the improvement in management measures. As at April 2013, the Environmental Protection Administration has located a total of 244 illegal disposal sites, their area reaching a total of 12.19 million meter square. Furthermore, according to the statistics, from 2001 to 2012, there were 13 illegal disposal sites in New Taipei City, among which 10 of them were industrial waste disposal sites, taking up 76.9% of the total sites. The total area of the disposal sites had reached 53 000 meter square.Minor cases of illegal disposal of industrial wastes have also occurred from time to time during the period, proving the current management method ineffective in stopping illegal disposal of industrial wastes. Bearing in mind the frequent illegal disposal cases, the New Taipei City Administration has initiated a co-ordinated taskforce in March 2013 to start a Black Bat Project in combat of these illegal disposal cases. The Task Force has involved the Environmental Protection Administration, Police and Public Works Department. Making use of opportunities when the Police was conducting checks on drunk driving, speed driving and other areas, we have also checked and screened the sources and flow of industrial wastes. Should illegal cases be found, the Environmental Protection Administration will be informed. After confirming illegality, the Environmental Protection Administration will take control of the vehicle and give severe penalities. Afterwards, the Public Works Department will be request the source of industrial wastes to duly carry out their duties in disposing the wastes properly. Should the situation warrant, the construction sites may also be suspended from further construction. With these efforts, the illegal disposal of industrial wastes has been reduced to a large extent, which is a proven success.
