Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act Article 12
(a) Competent authorities at all levels shall perform verification of sites suspected of having soil or groundwater pollution, and shall control pollution sources and investigate the status of environmental pollution in accordance with relevant environmental protection laws and regulations.(b) If the site in the preceding paragraph has a clear source of soil or groundwater pollution, and the concentrations of pollutants exceed the soil or groundwater pollution control standards, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority shall publicly announce that it is a soil or groundwater pollution control site (hereinafter referred to as “control site”)(c) After the announcement of a control site, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority shall request the land registration agency with local jurisdiction to enter the site registration in the land register, and shall report to the central competent authority for future reference. After the preliminary assessment of the control site, if the site is considered causing threat to severely endanger public health and the living environment, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority shall report to the central competent authority for review and approval. If approved, the central competent authority shall publicly announce that the site is a soil and groundwater pollution remediation site (hereinafter referred to as “remediation site”).

When necessary, the provisions of Article 15, Paragraph 1 may be applied mutatis mutandis.(f) If the administrator of the surface water body does not comply with the provisions in the preceding paragraph, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority may handle the case in accordance with the Administrative Execution Act provisions concerning substituted performance.(g) When a site is announced to be a control site or remediation site as prescribed in paragraph 2 or paragraph 3, if sediment within the scope of the control area is suspected of being polluted, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority may order the polluter or person potentially responsible for pollution to act mutatis mutandis in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5, and shall implement the plan as part of the control plan or remediation plan.(h) If the polluter or person potentially responsible for pollution does not comply with the provisions in the preceding paragraph, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority may apply mutatis mutandis as prescribed in the provisions of article 13, paragraph 2 and article 22, paragraph 2.(i) If the pollutants existing in the natural environment, through processes of scouring, dispersion, deposition, or irrigation, cause the on-site concentrations of pollutants to reach the situations prescribed in paragraph 2, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority shall notify the relevant industry competent authority of the test results, and shall hold a consultation conference and perform relevant matters. When necessary, the provisions of article 15, paragraph 1 may be applied mutatis mutandis.(j) With regard to a site mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority may perform an assessment on the items such as environment impact, health risk, technology, and economic effectiveness etc. If it is considered that remediation is necessary and feasible, a remediation plan shall be drafted and implemented after submission to the central competent authority for approval.(k) The central competent authority shall prescribed regulations governing criteria, calculation methods, and other compliance matters concerning the preliminary assessment in paragraph 3.(l) If a land announced to be a control site or remediation site in paragraph 2 or paragraph 3 undergoes land readjustment after the announcement, the land registration agency with local jurisdiction shall notify the special municipality, county, or city competent authority of cadastral information following the readjustment.(m) After the announcement of a control site or remediation site, the special municipality, county, or city competent authority, or central competent authority, shall invite experts, scholars, and relevant agencies all together to help review and supervise the related investigation plan, control plan, remediation plan, and health risk assessment and verification tasks etc.
中文原文 土壤及地下水污染整治法第12條
各級主管機關對於有土壤或地下水污染之虞之場址，應即進行查證，並依相關環境保護法規管制污染源及調查環境污染情形。
前項場址之土壤污染或地下水污染來源明確，其土壤或地下水污染物濃度達土壤或地下水污染管制標準者，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關應公告為土壤、地下水污染控制場址（以下簡稱控制場址）。
直轄市、縣（市）主管機關於公告為控制場址後，應囑託土地所在地登記機關登載於土地登記簿，並報中央主管機關備查；控制場址經初步評估後，有嚴重危害國民健康及生活環境之虞時，應報請中央主管機關審核後，由中央主管機關公告為土壤、地下水污染整治場址（以下簡稱整治場址）；直轄市、縣（市）主管機關於公告後七日內將整治場址列冊，送各該鄉（鎮、市、區）公所及土地所在地登記機關提供閱覽，並囑託該管登記機關登載於土地登記簿。
農業、衛生主管機關發現地面水體中之生物體內污染物質濃度偏高時，應即通知直轄市、縣（市）主管機關。
直轄市、縣（市）主管機關於接獲前項通知後，應檢測底泥，並得命地面水體之管理人就環境影響與健康風險、技術及經濟效益等事項進行評估，評估結果經中央主管機關審核，認為具整治必要性及可行性者，於擬訂計畫報請中央主管機關核定後，始得實施。
必要時，並得準用第十五條第一項規定。
地面水體之管理人不遵行前項規定時，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關得依行政執行法代履行之規定辦理。
依第二項、第三項規定公告為控制場址或整治場址後，其管制區範圍內之底泥有污染之虞者，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關得命污染行為人或潛在污染責任人準用第五項規定辦理，並應將計畫納入控制計畫或整治計畫中執行。
污染行為人或潛在污染責任人不遵行前項規定時，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關得準用第十三條第二項及第二十二條第二項規定辦理。
污染物係自然環境存在經沖刷、流布、沉積、引灌致場址之污染物濃度達第二項規定情形者，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關應將檢測結果通知相關目的事業主管機關，並召開協商會議，辦理相關事宜。
必要時，並得準用第十五條規定。
前項之場址，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關得對環境影響與健康風險、技術及經濟效益等進行評估，認為具整治必要性及可行性者，於擬訂計畫報中央主管機關核定後為之。
第三項初步評估之條件、計算方式及其他應遵行事項之辦法，由中央主管機關定之。
依第二項、第三項公告為控制場址或整治場址之土地，如公告後有土地重劃之情形，土地所在地登記機關應將重劃後之地籍資料，通知直轄市、縣（市）主管機關。
直轄市、縣（市）主管機關或中央主管機關應於控制場址或整治場址公告後，邀集專家學者、相關機關，協助審查及監督相關之調查計畫、控制計畫、整治計畫、健康風險評估及驗證等工作事項。
