Both NCUE campuses have water quality and drainage standards.

1. The procedure is as follows:

(1) In accordance with the regulations of the Waste Disposal Act, the laboratory waste liquid of the Jinde campus is supposed to be cleaned and disposed of as industrial waste. Following application, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Changhua County Government approved the cancelation of the water pollution prevention and control permit of the Jinde campus and removed it from the management list of the government. The original sewage treatment facilities are still in normal operation.

(2) The Baoshan campus mainly treats general domestic sewage.

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 wastewater. Every year in July, NCUE 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, NCUE 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. These regular reports show compliance with the reporting obligations set forth in the Water Pollution Control Act and its implementing regulations.

(4) The Water Pollution Control Act requires annual calibration of the water meter for the effluence of the school’s wastewater treatment plant. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the calibration and correction report of NCUE’s wastewater treatment plant effluent water meter issued by an inspection institution accredited by the Ministry of Environment.
