The implementation period of this project was 12 months from November 4, 2017 to November 3, 2018. The work items and work summaries are as follows:
1. As of November 3, 2018, a total of 297 inspections were conducted for the investigation of air quality deterioration, and all the targets of the investigation were in compliance with the regulations.
2. As of November 3, 2018, a total of 350 network inspections had been completed. 358, including 195 network inspections in the offshore industrial zones and 163 in non-offshore industrial zones.
3. During the project period, 524 emission reviews were completed. The number of firms in Yunlin County that should have declared their emission volumes in the fourth quarter of 2017 was 133. The emission volumes in 2017 were 1,324.846 metric tons of granules, 6,271.3472 metric tons of sulfur oxides, 13,926.58 metric tons of nitrogen oxides and 4,177.674 metric tons of volatile organic compounds.
4. 8 plants and 37 smoke discharge pipes have set up automatic continuous monitoring facility flues and completed connection. In the inspections, only the Haifeng Second Aromatics Plant of Formosa Chemicals’s PP06 discharge pipe was found that the daily zero/span offset test (oxygen) rating was D. After investigation on site, the reason was that the calibration operation was performed by the on-duty personnel in the morning, and some personnel were not familiar with the operation of the facility and did not pay attention to whether the test results met the requirements.
5. In 2017, the total declared amount was NT$214,092,060. The declared SOx emission was 6,399.71 metric tons/year, the declared NOx emission was 14,089.82 metric tons/year, and the declared VOCs emission was 4,629.94 metric tons/year. The cumulative total audited amount was NT$216,178,759, and the total amount of compensation should be NT$2,086,699.
6. In 2017, the total number of declaring firms should have been 1,938, of which 1,761 completed the declaration and payment within the declaration period, and 177 public and private premises did not make the air pollution fee declaration and payment within the time limit. From the first to the third quarter of 2017, a 100% declaration and payment rate was achieved after reminders by phone, and in the fourth quarter of 2017 the rate was 99.79%.
7. In order to improve the declaration rate of the air pollution fee and the accuracy of the declaration materials, the two convenience measures of quarterly notice to the firms and the provision of on-site consultation on Internet declaration were implemented. After the notification, the declaration rate achieved 100% from the third quarter of 2017 to the first quarter of 2018. According to the on-site survey, the number of on-site consultations in each quarter has reduced, and it is obvious that the firms are able to make declarations by themselves after on-site consultation.
