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), air pollution prevention facilities (A), powder and granular material transfer facilities connection points (C), stacking yards (X), storage tanks (T) and discharge points (P)---(should be counted individually). The types and quantities of raw materials, fuels or fuels used (including raw coal use) are not listed or inconsistent with the application documents, the design parameters and operating parameters of the treatment units for the pollution prevention facilities are unreasonable, and in the application documents the fugitive emissions generated by the raw materials are not included in pollutant discharge estimation or estimations are not correct, incorrect calculations for the air pollutant emissions, such as wrong formula used, or discharge point heights not calculated from the ground level, plane layout drawings (gates, plants, treatment facilities, or outlet locations) are wrong or not match the application documents. The soil and under groundwater pollution certification review cases show that the most common mistakes are: sampling locations or number of points or sampling depth are not reasonable or additional sampling are taken after review, evaluation plans are not reasonable or pollution potential determinations are unreasonable or underestimate the areas for the operation sites, the site pollution sources layouts, the scope of land use, the location of the sampling points layouts, the depth of sampling or the operation conditions (including historical operation conditions) etc. are inconsistent against the application documents or the investigation contents are incomplete, and the methods, process or opinions for the reviewing the working paper are unreasonable. The mistakes for the completed statistics for the review cases are: one third level mistake in the water pollution review cases, and two third level mistakes in the soil and under groundwater pollution review cases. In addition, to effectively manage the professional engineer certification process, this program established the Registered Professional Environmental Engineer management information system. Through an Internet management system, 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 improve the management of professional engineer certifications. And, continuously coordinating with EPA and regional EPB to promote the use of internet to carry out permit application system, to strengthen registered environmental engineer certification record submission and relevant interface functions. Another objective of this program is to continuously assist EPA to study and develop information for registered professional environmental engineer regulations, including amend regulations related to professional engineer, evaluate registered environmental engineers, environmental engineering industry and environmental consultant company related regulations. And study and propose responses to relevant proposals of Legislative Yuan and environmental industries or registered environment engineers.
