In accordance with the regulations of the Waste Disposal Act, the laboratory waste liquid in NCUE is entrusted to be cleaned and treated as industrial waste, and the original sewage treatment facilities are still in normal operation. Additionally, the Environmental Education Center applied to the General Education Center for the lecture event titled "Climate - No More Waiting", aimed at minimizing physical, chemical, and biological changes to related aquatic ecosystems.

1. Reduction of water quality changes in NCUE

(1) NCUE manages all generated effluent by routing it through a centralized wastewater treatment plant. The treated water is then discharged through outlets approved and regulated by the authorities. The university complies with the regulations outlined in the Water Pollution Control Act (Link https://law.moj.gov.tw/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?media=print&pcode=O0040001) and Water Pollution Control Act Enforcement Rules (Link https://law.moj.gov.tw/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?media=print&pcode=O0040002) in handling and reporting the discharge of its wastewater. Every year in July, the University submits a report that includes the water quality testing results for both the raw wastewater and the discharged wastewater for the period from January to June of the current year. Additionally, in the following year, by January, the University submits a report that covers the water quality testing results for both the raw wastewater and the discharged wastewater for the period from July to December of the preceding year.

The following is a screenshot of NCUE’s reporting on the webpage of the “Waste/Polluted Water Management System for Industrial and Sewage Systems” (WPMIS) of the Ministry of Environment as shown in Figure 1:

(3) The Water Pollution Control Act requires annual calibration of the water meter for the effluent of the school’s wastewater treatment plant. The following Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the calibration and correction report of the school’s wastewater treatment plant effluent water meter issued by an inspection institution accredited by the Ministry of Environment.
