The competent authority may order an enterprise or sewage system to increase the frequencies of investigation, measurement and monitoring of reporting for all or a portion of reported items based on actual need. If necessary, the competent authority may order an enterprise or sewage system to handle the test reporting of runoff wastewater or monitor the reporting receiving water body pursuant to the designated location, frequency and item.
For an enterprise or sewage system to perform the testing as indicated in Paragraph 1, the operating conditions are provided as follows:
1. An enterprise shall reach over 60% of the daily wastewater (sewage) output volume registered in its permit (document). However, if the operating conditions during the periodical testing and reporting period do not reach over 60% of the daily wastewater (sewage) output volume registered in the permit (document), then the average wastewater (sewage) output volume for the current periodical testing and reporting period shall prevail.
2. A sewage system shall reach over 60% of the daily included sewage volume registered in its permit (document). However, if the operating conditions during the periodical testing and reporting period do not reach over 60% of the daily included sewage volume registered in the permit (document), then the average included sewage volume for the current periodical testing and reporting period shall prevail.
The wastewater (sewage) output volume indicated in the previous paragraph is calculated based on the output volume of workstation wastewater, blowdown wastewater and non-contact cooling water. In case of treatment of the combination of domestic sewage produced by human activity and workstation wastewater, blowdown wastewater or Non-contact cooling water, the output volume of domestic sewage produced by human activity shall be combined for the calculation. The included sewage volume contains the included sewage volume inside or outside the area of discharge.
If an enterprise or a sewage system is determined by the competent authority of the municipality or county (city) to have failed to comply with the operating conditions tested in accordance with Paragraph 3, the enterprise or sewage system shall be retested. However, no retesting is required if a written document can be submitted to justify normal operation.
Article 84
Water quality testing or monitoring referred to in the information reported by an enterprise or sewage system shall be performed in accordance with the water quality items to be reported in accordance with Table 1. However, the competent authority may increase the items to be reported depending on the actual need.
Where an enterprise or sewage system does not use or produce any water quality items to be reported in Table 1 during the process and wastewater or sewage treatment procedure, or the test result of the water quality items to be reported in Table 1 is lower than the detection limit, such enterprise or sewage system may submit an application along with certificating documents to the municipality or county (city) competent authority for exemption from testing and reporting the said testing items.

However, this is not applicable if the raw water is seawater or the effluent is the wastewater with high concentration of halogen ions and the receiving water body is the ocean.
The discharge volume of the wastewater or sewage referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be calculated based on the discharge volume of the process and discharged wastewater. Where domestic sewage is treated together with the process and discharged wastewater, the discharge volume of the domestic sewage shall be calculated aggregately.

Article 84-2
Where the TUa value of the two organisms in any six consecutive biological acute toxicity data of the effluent as shown in the test or report of an enterprise or sewage system or the sample and investigation of the competent authority is cumulatively more than 1.43, the water may be supposed to contain biological acute toxicity and the municipality or county (city) competent authority may order such an enterprise or sewage system to perform the toxicity verification and toxicity reduction procedures, and submit relevant plans thereof for reference.
The toxicity verification and toxicity reduction procedures referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be completed within two years, and no testing or reporting of biological acute toxicity referred to in Article 84 is needed during this period. In case the toxicity verification and toxicity reduction procedures cannot be completed within the time frame, an application can be made to the municipality or county (city) competent authority for extension 30 days before the expiration date. The application for extension shall be made only once and the extension period shall not be greater than two years in maximum.
The enterprise or sewage system shall submit a result report to the municipality or county (city) competent authority for recognition within 15 days after the performing period of the toxicity verification and toxicity reduction procedures has expired; punishment will be imposed if the result is not submitted within the time frame or deemed as an incomplete improvement.
