The execution period of this project began on January 1st, 2016, until December 31th, 2016. The overall progress was in line with the estimated schedule. In the 2016 Street Cleaning Project, there was one street-cleaning vehicle and one street-washing vehicle. The examination of the functions of both vehicles was accomplished on Jan 5th and Jan 20th. The results of the examination met to the EPA’s operating standards. They were also equipped with a simple GPS and satellite navigation system of our company. In the initial planning of the cleaning equipment operation, both vehicles had a quantitative management of five working days, from Monday to Friday, with an operating mileage of about 87 km, while the sweeping street car with a mileage of about 73 km. Until Dec. 31th, 2016, verified with the GPS, the street washing operation reached to 20,066.10 km, achieving 100.33% of the annual goal (the mileage of the contract was 20,000 km); the street cleaning operation reached to 15,094.62 km, achieving 100.63% of the annual goal (the mileage of the contract was 15,000 km); it is estimated that the TPS reduction is 483.8 metric tons. Statistically, the total amount of water used in the 105 years is 20,729 metric tons. The average water consumption is 1.06 mt/km. The dust collection capacity was 249,300 kg while the average dust collection capacity of 14.21 kg/km. A total of 14,902 liters of diesel fuel was used for the cleaning vehicles and the total amount of dust collection/oil was 16.72 kg / liter. At least 15% of the total length of the county road was inspected per month and more than 40 major roads included, which is 48% of the roads within Hsinchu County. In the first quarter, there were 66 A-class roads with 146.9km, 77 B-class roads with 157.5km, and 3 C-class roads with 11.6km. In the second quarter, there were 72 A-class roads with 157.5km, 73 B-class roads with 236.8km, and 1 C-class roads with 1.4km. In the third quarter, there were 80 A-class roads with 179.2km, 66 B-class roads with 216.5km, and 0 C-class roads with 0km. In the fourth quarterr, there were 87 A-class roads with 197.2km, 58 B-class roads with 197.1km, and 1 C-class roads with 1.4km. There was a total of 32 enterprises that joined the road adoption plan. The monthly cleaning and washing lengths of the adopted roads were 156.362 km and 388.914 km respectively. In 2016, in terms of the water retrieving points for the street cleaning project, sample analysis was conducted four times, testing the pH, BOD, escherichia coli, suspended solids and turbidity. In this project in terms of dust collection, the results of the first quarter were: 30 A-class roads accounting 60%, 19 B-class roads accounting 38% and 1 C-class road accounting 2%. The results of the second quarter were: 31 A-class roads accounting 62%, 19 B-class roads accounting 38% and 0 C-class road accounting 0%. The results of the third quarter were: 33 A-class roads accounting 66%, 17 B-class roads accounting 34% and 0 C-class road accounting 0%. The results of the fourth quarter were: 33 A-class roads accounting 66%, 17 B-class roads accounting 34% and 0 C-class road accounting 0%. For the intial survey of the satisfaction degree of the 2016 street cleaning project, the results show that it was 79.5%. This means that there is a significant effect of the EPB street cleaning operation. The final report is based on the parameters set by the EPA, Executive Yuan, for TEDS8.1. For the estimation of the dust emission of the vehicles of Hsinchu County, the TSP for the pavement road in 2016 was 4012 mt/year.
