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 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.

The following is a screenshot of NCUE’s reports on the webpage of the “Waste/Polluted Water Management System for Businesses 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. 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.
