Advance Stationary Air Pollution Control Strategy and the Certification for Auditor Program

Absrtact
In order to strengthen and put the stationary sources management into effect, this project divided into 4 major parts in accordance with emission control of Taiwan Clean Air Act. The 4 parts are 1) revision of permitting policy and emissions integration, 2) pollution prevention management and emission reduction, 3) supervision and enforcement by local component authorities, 4) improvement of data quality and upgrade management system. In the part of revised permitting policy and integrated emissions, this project accomplished the amendment and promulgation of 「Stationary Source Air Pollution Emission Reporting Regulations」and 「Measures of Stationary Source Air Pollution Emission Calculation」 and also integrated of air pollution control fee system and emission report system to decrease the examination of double-reporting. Comparing the 3rd season emission quantity while system integrated, the improvement ratio of NOx and VOC are reaching to 90% and 99% respectively and 2,523 stationary sources were affected. For permitting strategies development, the project is based on latest information of control measures and regulations in America, European Union and China, accomplished assessment of public participate permitting program, and Title V permits to recommend whole–quality control strategies to achieve the improvement of air quality. For pollution prevention management and emission reduction, carried out the amendment of 「Permitting of stationary sources of air pollution」,「air pollution control policy of coal, coke and other fuels」,「air pollution control policy and emission standard of Semiconductors」,「air pollution control policy of Optoelectronic Materials and Components」regulations. To amend the permitting policy about strengthen the principle of economic benefits, examination fees and certificate fees charged separately, strengthen the examination of testing facilities, the valid date of permits and the calculation of emissions in accordance with the feedback of 807 questionnaires filled out from association, stationary sources and local component authorities. To review the 1st to 8th batch of permitting facilities, and estimate the possibility to increase 5% of control rate for particle, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by expanding the 9th bacth of permitting facilities for soil pollution remediation, non-mental electroplating and river dredging. 281 permitting facilities of selling and using coal and flow tracking 600 million tons of coal would be controlled when the regulation of「air pollution control policy of coal, coke and other fuels」amended. VOCs, Hydrofluoric acid (HFs) and Hydrogen chloride (HCl) emissions would be reduced to 23.1%, 27.8% and 29.7% respectively when the amended the emission standard, raised the control efficiency of semiconductors. To supervise stationary sources management of local component authorities, the project held in 3 demonstrations on results of examination for 226 stationary source facilities, 22 permits issued by science park administrations in relation to waste combustion, activated carbon air pollution control systems, environmental impact assessment (EIA) area and reexamination coefficients. To improve reviewing skill of local component authorities and strengthen pollution prevention management, the project edited 4 teaching materials and training 176 inspectors in 2 demonstrations. To enhance the quality and upgrade management system, the project accomplished the demand of Personal Information Protection Act and Information Security Policy for permit applying online system, testing reporting system, emission reporting system and administrator restriction. Furthermore, to increase data currency rate to 97% by reviewing 21,398 factories about 150 thousands database until December 2013, 99% currency rate of Transverse Mercator (TM2) of discharge tube and factory. Moreover, in order to coordinate with the integration of EMS system, the project confirmed 21 batch of double-registered facilities and switched 480 factories database.
