The Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan carried out a registered professional environmental engineer certification case review. The objectives were to understand the quality and defects of certification processed by certified engineers. The review results may be used to guide the improvement of certification of engineers to upgrade the quality of certified Professional Environmental Engineers. Also, Starting in 2006, the EPA carried out the review of the operation of registered professional engineering organizations. The key points focused on work drafts inspection. This year, the review of the operation of registered professional engineering organizations found that the most frequently appearing defect was that "the certification files had not been declared accurately", around 44% of the total defects. Followed were "certification files did not have on site review photos" and " the original working manuscript did not have execution seal and signature", 33% each. This represents that there shall be continuous promotion of "Professional Environmental Engineer Certification Regulations". For the review of water pollution sites, the most frequently appearing defects were that "in the application documents, texts and values were not filled in, incorrect or inconsistent", around 73%. The next defect was "unreasonable treatment unit design parameters and operational parameters", around 59%, and "Equipment name, quantity and specifications were different from that in the application forms or not filled in the application forms", around 32%. The most frequently appearing stationary source onsite review defect was also "in the application documents, texts and values were not filled in, incorrect or inconsistent", around 80%. Followed by "Incorrect calculation of air pollutants release quantities, such the use of incorrect equations, and discharge pipe exit height did not calculated based on ground heights etc.", around 60%, and "Unreasonable pollution control equipment treatment unit design parameters and operational parameters", around 40%. In addition, to effectively control the business of professional engineer certification, this program established the Registered Professional Environmental Engineer basic database. Through an Internet database, information was provided to every level of environmental control management organizations to make available basic information on professional engineers, including their certification status, review results, and award and punishment received, to implement the review and control of professional engineer certifications.
