Water Pollution Control Measures and Test Reporting Management Regulations Article 70-1

For using liquor and fiber digestate as fertilizer for farmland, present the plan of using liquor and fiber digestate as fertilizer for farmland (hereinafter referred to as the “Liquor and fiber digestate using as fertilizer for farmland plan”) to the competent authority of agriculture for application. Upon approval, report to the competent authority of the municipality or county (city) for reference filing and proceed in accordance with the content of registration. The following requirements shall be satisfied when using liquor and fiber digestate as fertilizer for farmland:1. The facility for anaerobic fermentation of animal excreta shall be able to accommodate the methane generated and at least 10 days shall be allowed for the anaerobic fermentation of livestock enterprises keeping non-herbivore and at least 5 days for livestock enterprises keeping herbivore, with routine tracking of the excretion of liquor and fiber digestate. The competent authority of agriculture may determine the number of days for anaerobic fermentation on separate basis after reviewing the result and the number of days for anaerobic fermentation so determined shall prevail.2. The fertilized farmland is not owned by the users of liquor and fiber digestate as fertilizer. The users shall enter into an agreement of a statement of consent with the owner of the fertilized farmland, the managers, or the users on the joint pursuit of the plan of using liquor and fiber digestate as fertilizer for farmland.3. The liquor and fiber digestate shall be fully diffused into soil 1 hour after applying and no residual liquor shall be left on the surface of farmland except the aforementioned fertilizer is mixed with irrigation water for furrow or flood irrigation4. Liquor and fiber digestate generated from aeration after anaerobic fermentation could be used for irrigation of farmland with full quantity as fertilizer in which case a buffer quantity shall be reserved in response to the period of suspended irrigation. The buffer quantity shall be sufficient for at least 10 days of irrigation and could be supplied from the anaerobic fermentation facility, aeration facility (only for a repeated process of aeration) or other storage facility. If the quantity of out from anaerobic fermentation exceeds the limit specified in Subparagraph 1, include as buffer quantity.In reviewing the plan of using liquor and fiber digestate as fertilizer for farmland, the competent authority of agriculture shall invite the competent authority of environmental protection of the municipality or county (city) to take part in the review. Where necessary, an on-site inspection and study shall be taken. The following items shall be subject to review in the inspection of the quality of the liquor and fiber digestate:1. The total quantity of liquor and fiber digestate for irrigation in unit area;2. The anaerobic fermentation facility, aeration facility (only for a repeated process of aeration), storage facility and the design capacity of the facilities;3. The frequency of the output of liquor and fiber digestate, and the method of transportation or delivery;4. The site and the area of the farmland for irrigation.

沼液沼渣農地肥分使用者,應檢具沼液沼渣作為農地肥分使用計畫(以下簡稱沼液沼渣農地肥分使用計畫),向農業主管機關提出申請,經農業主管機關審查同意後,報直轄市、縣(市)環保主管機關備查,並依登記事項運作,其沼液、沼渣作為肥分,應符合下列規定:
一、畜牧糞尿排入厭氧發酵設施,應能妥善收集沼氣,厭氧發酵天數,其為非草食性動物之畜牧業十天以上;其為草食性動物之畜牧業五天以上,並應定期排出沼液、沼渣。
但農業主管機關依個別計畫審查結果另為核定厭氧發酵天數者,依其核定之厭氧發酵天數。
二、施灌農地非沼液沼渣農地肥分使用者所有,應與施灌農地所有人、管理人或使用人簽訂共同執行沼液沼渣農地肥分使用計畫之合約或出具同意書。
三、沼液、沼渣應於施灌後一小時內,完全滲入土壤,施灌農地表面不得積留沼液。
但以灌溉水混合溝灌或漫灌,不在此限。
四、厭氧發酵後或再經曝氣處理後產生之沼液、沼渣,全量施灌於農地,作為農地肥分者,應備有暫停施灌期間之應變緩衝容量。
該應變緩衝容量十天以上,得由厭氧發酵設施、曝氣處理設施(以採再經曝氣處理者為限)或其他貯存設施提供,厭氧發酵設施容量超出第一款規定之容量,得計入應變緩衝容量。
農業主管機關審查沼液沼渣農地肥分使用計畫時,應邀請直轄市、縣(市)環保主管機關參與審查,必要時,應現場勘查。
審查時,應依沼液沼渣品質,核定下列事項:
一、單位面積施灌之沼液沼渣總量。
二、厭氧發酵設施、曝氣處理設施(以採再經曝氣處理者為限)、貯存設施及其設計容量。
三、沼液沼渣排出頻率、輸(運)送方式。
四、施灌農地之場址及面積。
