2017-2018 Registered professional environmental engineer certification case review and management information system development maintenance project work program
Absrtact |
The objectives of the EPA’s (Environmental Protection Administration) registered professional environmental engineer certification cases review inspection plan were for the purpose of examine the quality and defects of certification cases processed by those certified engineers. The results can be used guide the environmental engineers processing the certification and enhance the quality of the report. The operations of registered professional engineering consulting firm/ office have been reviewed since 2006. The operations are focused on inspection of worksheets.
The most common errors occur in the 2017 annual water pollution review are: the text and numerical values in the certification documents are filled in incorrectly or inconsistent, the treatment unit design parameters and operating parameters are unreasonable, and the operational parameters and mass balance calculations are not consistent.
The review of the fixed pollution source certification cases shows that the most common errors are: the text and the numerical values are filled in incorrectly or inconsistent, the estimations of the pollutant discharge from the raw materials are unreasonable, and the design parameters and operating parameters of all treatment units for the pollution prevention and control facilities are unreasonable.
Soil and under groundwater pollution certification cases show that the most common mistakes are: the process or method of assessing the investigation is unreasonable, the sampling machinery, equipment or methods are unreasonable, and the assessments of pollutants produced or pollution sources are unreasonable.
The results of the review of the practice agencies showed that the main mistakes are: methods and procedures for checking the certification cases are unreasonable, the presentation of the opinions for the working papers are unreasonable, no the front page for the work papers, and the photos for the field inspections are not retained.
The error statistics for the completed review cases are: one third level error for the water pollution certification cases, and one third level error for the fixed pollution source certification cases.
The 2018 water pollution certification review check shows that the most common mistakes are: the certification document text and the numerical values are filled in wrong or inconsistence, processing unit design parameters and operating parameters are unreasonable, mass balance calculation error or unreasonable, basic business information (gate coordinates, the coordinates of the discharge points, the contact person and the designated responsible personnel, etc.) are inconsistent against the site or the document, the operation and maintenance costs (electricity fee or dosage costs) are unreasonably estimated, the flow measurement facilities do not conform to the application documents, or the flow meter records do not match the application documents or the position of the discharge points are not located as specified.
The fixed pollution source certification check shows that the most common mistakes are: the text and numerical values in the explanatory documents are not filled, or filled in wrong or inconsistent (each item for each unit should be counted separately), the related drawings do not marked with processing equipment (E),
