Application of Virtual Disposal Cost Method in Judicial Identification of Surface Water Pollution in China

Abstract

Virtual disposal cost is a method for estimating the appropriate amount of compensation for environment damage from pollutants. China has not yet formed a complete legal system of civil compensation for environment pollution. Taking the surface water environmental damage incident of sewage treatment plant as a case, we analyze the virtual disposal cost method and the provision of reference data for sewage treatment plant. It will simplify the assessment process for surface water environmental damage and greatly improve the efficiency of environmental justice and environmental damage compensation.
