The Lienchiang District Prosecutor's Office announced today in a press release that prosecutors received intelligence and investigated a case of illegal dumping of waste on public slopes in Beigan Township. Today, they directed the Lienchiang County Police Bureau to search the implicated business operator and, together with relevant units such as the Lienchiang County Government's Environmental Resources Bureau, excavated the site on the public land. It was discovered that the suspect business operator had occupied the public land and dumped construction and building waste.
The prosecutors believe that the business operator's dumping activities, occurring near a reservoir and the coast, constitute a serious violation of the Waste Disposal Act, the Mountain Slope Conservation and Utilization Act, and the crime of stealing public land. Furthermore, it caused environmental pollution and ecological damage. Therefore, they will conduct a thorough investigation and demand that the implicated business operator promptly cooperate with the Lienchiang County Government to restore the site to its original condition, in order to protect the natural environment of the Matsu region.
The Lienchiang District Prosecutor's Office stated that after questioning by Chief Prosecutor Yang Yi-yun, considering the suspect's willingness to cooperate with the investigation and his active expression of willingness to bear the responsibility for cleanup and restoration, and as there was no necessity for detention, he was ordered to be released on bail of NT$200,000.
The Lienchiang District Prosecutor's Office emphasized through a press release that waste generated from construction and other activities must not be arbitrarily dumped. Illegally providing land for waste disposal, or clearing, storing, or treating waste on behalf of others, may constitute violations of the Waste Disposal Act. Furthermore, occupying or developing public land or private mountain slopes may violate the Mountain Slope Conservation and Utilization Act or the criminal offense of land theft. The public is urged not to break the law. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150407
