(Central News Agency reporter Wang Hung-kuo, New Taipei 6th) The Legislative Yuan's Internal Affairs Committee today inspected the situation of construction earthwork collection and temporary storage at Taipei Port. Legislators from both the blue and green camps called for reducing the impact on Bali. DPP Legislator Su Chiao-hui hoped to avoid sacrificing the quality of life of local residents; KMT Legislator Hung Meng-kai urged the establishment of a full-process monitoring mechanism for air pollution and noise.
The Internal Affairs Committee today inspected the situation of construction earthwork collection and temporary storage at Taipei Port. Accompanied by Deputy Minister of the Interior Tung Chien-hung, Legislator Su Chiao-hui, a candidate for New Taipei City mayor, and KMT Legislators Hung Meng-kai, Liao Hsien-hsiang, and Chang Chih-lun, among others, were present to understand the situation and listen to briefings.
Su Chiao-hui stated that in the past, the disposal of construction waste earthwork not only caused a huge burden on the local environment but also posed a headache for the New Taipei City Government and businesses. Therefore, the central government actively assisted the local government in resolving short-term difficulties through the Taipei Port land reclamation project.
Su Chiao-hui said that she hopes to reduce issues such as traffic safety and pollution control at Taipei Port through central and local cooperation. For local residents, reducing the impact on Bali's traffic is the most important goal. New Taipei City needs to bear the responsibility for the maintenance and repair of the site and roads. How will the feedback mechanism operate? What is the source of the budget? These are matters that need to be clarified later.
Hung Meng-kai stated that he understands the necessity of earthwork disposal as the country promotes major construction projects. However, relevant operations should not sacrifice the quality of life of local residents. Dust, noise, and traffic impacts from frequent heavy vehicle access are all pressing and undeniable problems for Bali residents.
He stated that a full-process monitoring mechanism should be established for air pollution and noise problems that may arise during the earthwork disposal process, and concrete and effective prevention measures should be adopted to ensure environmental impact is minimized. Regarding the local impact brought by earthwork disposal, relevant authorities should propose a reasonable and concrete compensation mechanism, implementing the principle of "user pays," to achieve a proper balance between construction promotion and the protection of local residents' rights.
