When conducting on-site inspections, law enforcement officers from New Taipei Ecological Environment Bureau found that a company in its jurisdiction discharged heavy metal wastewater through seepage pits. In addition to suspected criminal crimes, the company also caused ecological environment damage and should bear the obligation to compensate for damages. The New Taipei Ecological Environment Bureau responded quickly, inviting the New Taipei District Procuratorate to participate and provide technical support for professional institutions, held many meetings to discuss the case, and accelerated the progress of case handling.
After the staff of the New Taipei Ecological Environment Bureau and the New Taipei District Procuratorate publicize the ecological environment damage compensation policy. The company fully recognizes the negative impact of the illegal acts on the environment and actively cooperates with the ecological environment damage consultation. On September 26, the company signed a negotiation agreement with the New Taipei Ecological Environment Bureau and paid compensation in a timely manner.
In recent years, the New Taipei Ecological Environment Bureau has actively carried out ecological and environmental damage compensation practice, increased the publicity of ecological and environmental damage compensation policies, focused on solving the dilemma of "enterprise pollution, government pays the bill", ensured that the concept of "environment is valuable, and the damage is responsible" was implemented, and gradually formed a multi-party linkage, pragmatic and efficient "New Taipei Experience".
