contaminated soils at Wharves No 19 and No 20 and presented the plan of necessary measures for response to Environmental Protection Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government for its review. The Bureau approved the aforementioned plan on December 23, 2015. As of the end of December, 2015, the work to improve the pollution did not meet the expectation. On December 23, 2015, Environmental Protection Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government listed the Terminal as a soil remediation site and announced that CPC was the polluter, and was required to present a pollution plan for its review. After the action plan proposed by the company was approved by the EPA of Kaohsiung City Government on November 1, 2016 (with a 36-month deadline to improve the pollution), CPC immediately carried out soil classification and off-site soil handling according to the approved plan. A total of 124,134 tons of contaminated soil of the site received off-site handling then; 100,000 tons of the soil were taken to a dumping facility at Chienzhen for stacking, screening and handling. CPC had removed all the contaminated soil at the site by January 2, 2018 and took another 24,475 tons of contaminated soil to the bioremediation site of its Kaohsiung facility for ongoing bioremediation work. The site’s monitoring status with the EPA of Kaohsiung City Government was lifted on April 12, 2018.
CPC’s Kaohsiung Refinery was shut down at the end of November 2015. As it was an old facility and was in operation for many years, almost all of the soil and groundwater across its total area were classified as contaminated and in need of remediation due to pollutions of different levels. CPC presented the pollution control plan to Environmental Protection Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government for its review and the bureau approved the aforementioned plan on December 16, 2016. The company is currently dismantling the above-ground structures (including process plant, pipework and related facilities) and also removing pipelines from where they were buried two meters underground. In addition, CPC is using gas

pumping/injection pollution control technology and strengthening the downstream gas injection interception system to prevent pollutants from flowing out of the site. The overall remediation process will take about 17 years to complete; and the plan calls for the work to be carried out across separate areas in phases. In principle, CPC will start the pollution improvement work from the upstream of the underground water and later moved on toward the downstream in its implementation of the strategy for dissolution of control in different phases.
