This plan includes five major work items: pollution notification and conditional selection, information integration with monitoring and simulation, login integration and material and equipment allocation, website for external use and operation education, and system server maintenance. In terms of improving marine and riverine pollution notification, the system has integrated accident-level administration authorities. In the notification procedures of initial notice, report during the accident and final report, the functions of receiving and sending email and online cell phone text message will be provided. In terms of the design of marine monitoring data system, this plan aims to utilize Excel, the tool the Environmental Protection Agency the most familiar with, as a tool for establishing data of marine water monitoring data. In combination of exporting xml data and the development of a user-friendly upload system, Environmental Protection Bureaus will be able to send monitoring data to EPA. Furthermore, the marine monitoring data collected from 10 Environmental Protection Bureaus in the last five years and monitoring data from ten private sector environmental impact assessments will be compiled, and positioning and positioning correction will be implemented. The compiled data and the results of positioning and positioning correction will be incorporated into the integrated search function of this system. In terms of technical manuals for marine pollution caused by a chemical spill out, this year the list of 20 chemicals are produced in accordance with the analysis of four factors: appearance frequency, degree of damage, risk level for environment and carcinogenicity. The 20 categories of manuals have been written, compiled and proofread. Furthermore, revision and format design of 25 categories of manuals, emergency Information cards and guidance written and compiled from FY 1997 to 1999. As to the issue of uploading simulation results to this system, the graphic files adopted by the research team make the simulation results uploaded to the system have an optimal performance so that experts in this field can participate in discussion, the contents of uploaded data can be stipulated, the numerical analysis of simulated oil spill thickness can be done, and thus the user can identify oil spill clusters on the console. The purpose of the establishment of decision support system of marine pollution incident is to assist the commander to deal with wide varieties of matters. Based on Marine Pollution Contingency Procedure, Contingency Plan for Major Marine Oil Spill Incident, and Marine and Riverine Pollution Contingency Standard Operation Procedure (draft), this plan aims to analyze possibly needed information during an oil spill incident and to develop a decision support system for marine pollution incident, so as to actively provide the commander with related information in accordance with known incident properties, oil spill characteristics, incident level; meanwhile, historical records of past incidents, and a Self-note mechanism will be also provided. Furthermore, this plan aims to integrate space information and establish an Integrated Marine Pollution Emergency Decision Support Console for the purpose of providing the manager with vessel information, emergency equipment and its quantity, environmental sensitivity index, locations of emergency rescue units, environmental surveillance data, data on chemicals, laws and regulations, insurance data and meteorological data such as precipitation so that he/she is able to use graphic console to implement decision support, understand the distribution of environmental sensitivity index in coastal area, and have an idea about the quantity of emergency material and equipment, and other practically needed support functions.. Meanwhile, overall website maintenance and information review will continue to be implemented. Technical manuals have been produced and two operation training courses have been held.
