Thus agricultural agencies will only investigate for contamination after farmers take the initiative to request such a survey. There is no way to strictly enforce prohibitions on cultivation of polluted land; indeed there are still people planting vegetables for their own consumption in the Kuan Yin area. There is no legal procedure for handling contaminated rice.
因此，農業單位只在農民自行申報檢測農地，才去「查緝」農地汙染；已遭汙染的地區，無法強力執行廢耕，觀音地區仍有農民在汙染農地上「自己種菜自己吃」；汙染米的處理也無法律可循。
