In rural areas of southwest Changhua County, there have been over 100 incidents of illegal dumping of industrial waste in the past six months, with a landowner named Chen being convicted and sentenced to one year in prison and fined NT$150,000 for dumping general industrial waste on agricultural land. Investigations by Changhua County authorities revealed that some landowners in remote areas charged fees for accepting soil, and even those leasing national land were found getting involved in accepting illegal waste dumping activities. The case involved multiple individuals, with some confessing to their involvement while others denied the accusations. The investigation is still ongoing for some suspects.
