Project Description：
To meet the needs of industry and facilitate investment policy, the Ministry of Science and Technology is promoting development of Kaohsiung New Town for construction of the Ciaotou Science and Technology Park, which was approved by the Executive Yuan on 6 December 2019. The project will provide sufficient land for development and considers economic growth over the next decade. The new science park will be located near National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, which can closely collaborate with scientific research units and staff that can assist in the R&D and manufacture of new products. In addition, establishing the new science park in Kaohsiung New Town will generate employment opportunities to complement adjacent residential areas and local businesses. Spurring business growth can address the current low rate of development in the Kaohsiung New Town phase I area.
Services were performed to assist in completing the phase II environmental impact assessment, and were based on the work and environmental investigation items determined in meetings as falling within the phase II EIA scope.
Scope of Services：
- EIA phase I environmental impact statement and phase II environmental impact report.
- Supplementary environmental investigations: air quality (including HAPs), geological drilling (including mud penetration), highway and high-speed rail vibration, soil pollutants, river water quality, groundwater quality, river sediment quality, terrestrial animal ecology (including Taiwan eastern grass owls), terrestrial plant ecology (including distribution of adult trees), river ecology, bioaccumulation survey, and transportation survey.
- Data analysis and impact assessments: simulated impact of pollutants on air quality, research and analysis of air pollution offset schemes, assessment of active faults and geologically sensitive areas, health risk assessment, effluent impact assessment, analysis of greenhouse gas emissions, and conservation of Taiwan eastern grass owls.
- Participation in relevant EIA meetings, replies to review comments, and report revisions.
