Water Environment
3
Goals
Basic Policy
4
Focus Link to municipal public sewage treatment facilities
Link to local public sewage treatment facilities Interlinkable units within and adjacent municipal sewerage areas
Installation of facilities that cannot be linked to local public sewage treatment facilities Unit operating wastewater discharge facilities that cannot be linked to the wastewater treatment facilities of the local government
Complying with the Water Quality Standards and Treatment Facilities Management Regulations
Comply with the discharge water quality standards of the wastewater treatment facility and the cleanup tank Comply with treatment facility management and operational standards
Protect military from water pollutions by proper treatment of contaminated water
Sewage Water Policy
5
Minimizing the amount of sewage generated in order to maintain water quality
When releasing generated sewage, it is required to comply with the criteria for the
discharge of the sewage system.
When a local government establishes or modifies a basic sewage readjustment plan or
sets up or changes sewage treatment zones, involved with relevant institutions to ensure
that the military sewage can be transferred to the public sewage treatment facility
If inflow cannot be processed as shown above, self-processing facilities specified under
the relevant laws must be installed
In order to focus on national defense duties, self-processing facilities that are kept should
be gradually managed and implemented by private environmental companies.
The amount and budget of the target facility for installation of the treatment facility should
be reflected in the mid-term plan
Establishing workforce and implementing education plans for the operation of treatment
facilities
Normal operating conditions of treatment facilities should be checked at least twice a year
Waste Water Policy
6
To maintain water quality, waste water generation should be minimized When releasing generated waste water, it shall not exceed the criteria for allowing the release of water in the environment-related laws When local governments prepare and modify basic plans for wastewater treatment facilities the institution concerned shall be cooperated with the relevant institution to ensure the inflow of wastewater into the wastewater treatment facility. If inflow cannot be processed as shown above, self-processing facilities specified by the relevant laws must be installed The measure subcontracting self-processing facilities that are held to focus on defense duties to private environmental companies, should be taken and implemented for management The washing facility takes into account the number of vehicles retained, the cycle of each vehicle, the installation cost, and the administrative cost, Use integrated operation by unit or private car wash, and install only if unit conditions are unavoidableThe amount and budget of the target facility to install the treatment facility should be reflected in the mid- to long-term planManpower and education plan for operation of processing facilities must be established and implemented Normal operating conditions of treatment facilities should be checked at least twice a year

Investigation Procedure For efficient soil-precision investigation, the basic survey (step 1) and the developed survey (step 2) are conducted where possible. After checking the approximate extent of contamination, conduct a detailed survey (Step 3)
Soil pollutants and soil pH, which are expected to exceed the concern criteria
Accurate GPS coordinate measurement and drawing of sampling points
Remark Detailed survey point (step 3) according to the extent and depth of contamination calculated as a result of the developed survey (Step 2) and adjust the depth to accurately calculate the area and amount of contamination
Being fully aware of the calculated types and areas of contaminants, amount of contamination, concentration of contamination, and the chemical properties of soil, the type, location and flow of groundwater
