Abstract

<p>In this paper two Environmental Laws were briefly described.</p><p>1. Water Pollution Control Law</p><p>Factories and establishments (businesses) are required to submit a report when they intend to install a Specified Facility. Businesses shall carefully measure the pollution level of the effluents and identify the state of the discharging areas, for example, the quantity of the effluents such as harmful substances and other pollution indicators including BOD/COD. The legal effluent standards shall be obeyed by proper waste water treatment. However there are still violations including forgery of measured date and erroneous notification.</p><p>The businesses shall submit a report when they intend to install a facility using or storing harmful substances and they must prevent groundwater pollution. Further they are required to periodically check the floor, piping, waterways of the facility, in order to prevent groundwater pollution. We must recognize that the clean-up measures to improve the quality of the groundwater takes very long time.</p><p>2. Waste Management and Public Cleaning Law</p><p>This law regulates waste generators (businesses) through the control of waste management which includes waste sorting, storage, collection, transport, recycling, and disposal. The businesses shall be required to manage of their industrial waste appropriately by themselves even if they are to commission anyone else to transport or dispose etc. of their industrial waste. And they shall endeavor to take the necessary measures and action for proper management of the said industrial waste in the whole process from its generation to final disposal and recycling. For example, followings are some of the effective measures for waste management ; to do on-site survey of the contractor's intermediate treatment and final disposal facilities in order to confirm their actual operation (obeying the law or not), and when the issuer (businesses) receives a returned copy of the control manifest from contractors they (businesses) must confirm that the transportation or the disposal has properly completed</p>
