To better understand and track the reuse of refuse incinerator bottom ash, the EPA has established a website for local governments to report the flow of incinerator bottom ash. In addition to ensuring that each local government carries out the required audits, from September 2016 the EPA will also begin in-depth inspections of all organizations that reuse incinerator bottom ash. There have recently been reports on incinerator bottom ash pollution at a fish farm in Tainan City, with effusions of purple alkaline liquid. Personnel were immediately dispatched to conduct an on-site inspection and carry out water sample analysis. Various types of waste were discovered at the site, but the water analysis did not reveal contaminants usually associated with incinerator bottom ash. The case is now being investigated by prosecutors. The EPA also pointed out that it had established a bottom ash reporting website to serve as a platform for local governments to upload information on the reuse of bottom ash. The website also provides related information for data inspection and statistical analysis involving bottom ash reuse. After being produced by incinerators, bottom ash is sent in one-tonne loads either to landfills or for direct reuse. Local governments pay licensed operators to handle the reuse, and the flow of each one-tonne load of bottom ash must be confirmed. Bottom ash reuse must meet the requirements of related regulations such that the reuse can be verified and paid for by a local government. Thus, illegally dumped bottom ash will result in fees that cannot be paid to reuse organizations. Therefore, local governments should consider how they can employ the EPA’s mechanisms to keep track of the flow of bottom ash, and also how to incorporate their own verification procedures in order to close any loopholes that might be exploited. The EPA is keen to stress that local governments must inspect and verify the reuse of bottom ash as soon as the reuse is reported by the reuse organization, and that fees are paid only when the reuse passes inspection. If the final reuse location is found to be falsified, not only will the reutilization fee not be paid, the parties responsible will be reported to the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office for fraudulent documents. The central government will continue to urge local governments to keep tracking the flow of bottom ash. In addition, from September 2016 the EPA will start in-depth inspections done by impartial experts of all bottom ash reuse organizations, with the aim of establishing a comprehensive bottom ash reuse management mechanism.
