On 22 February 2016, the EPA preannounced two sets of regulations regarding the responsibilities of dedicated wastewater treatment units and personnel: the Regulations Governing the Establishment and Management of Dedicated Wastewater and Sewage Treatment Units or Personnel and the Fine Determination Criteria for Dedicated Wastewater or Sewage Treatment Units or Personnel that Violate the Water Pollution Control Act. The 18 articles of the Regulations Governing the Establishment and Management of Dedicated Wastewater or Sewage Treatment Units or Personnel have been drawn up in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 2 of the Water Pollution Control Act. The drafted regulations primarily cover the conditions surrounding the use of dedicated wastewater treatment units or personnel by enterprises or operators of sewage systems. Such matters as the number of personnel needed, their qualifications, their responsibilities, and the requirements for substitute personnel if the original personnel fall ill, are transferred, or resign from their job are also covered. The Water Pollution Control Act was last amended on 4 February 2015, and dedicated wastewater treatment agencies or personnel that violate Article 21 Paragraph 2 of the Act are now subject to fines of between NT$10,000~100,000, so that the fines that can be levied by the competent authorities of Taiwan’s counties, provincial cities, and special municipalities are proportionate. The EPA has drafted the six articles of the Principles Governing Penalties for Dedicated Wastewater or Sewage Treatment Units or Personnel that Violate Water Pollution Control Act. The penalties stipulate that wastewater/sewage treatment personnel who violate regulations should be fined according to the list of offences in the regulations and the corresponding fine. If the total fine calculated exceeds the NT$100,000 maximum stated in Article 48 Paragraph 4 of the Water Pollution Control Act, the fine shall be limited to NT$100,000; if the amount is under NT$10,000, the fine levied shall be NT$10,000. The EPA believes that enforcing the above two sets of regulations will encourage dedicated units or personnel that treat industrial wastewater to perform their duties and operate wastewater treatment facilities as required by the Water Pollution Control Act. A more conscientious performance from them will help protect Taiwan’s waterbodies and improve the water quality.
