This Plan's implementation period extended from December 1, 2017 to November 30, 2018, and had the principal goal of assisting the New Taipei Department of Environmental Protection to stationary source air pollution control fee review, payment reminder/payment settlement, and legal/regulatory compliance tasks. The Plan promoted special project control for designated industries in order to institute fair payment principles and effectively control pollution sources and reduce air pollution emissions volume. Chief results include: (1) Acceptance of 4,591 (1,173 enterprises) air pollution control fee reports between the third quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018, completion of settlement in 4,532 cases (accounting for 99% of reports), and performed acceptance in 59 cases; the total verified amount subject to collection was approximately NT$76.72 million. (2) Multifaceted data audits and comparisons were employed to check enterprises' internal resource management systems (ERP) and accounting documents ability to monitor actual usage of raw materials and goods. Key fields were compared to determine audit testing methods, routine review methods, and audit operating methods at suspicious audit subjects, 101 public and private premises were added to the regulatory control list, and the payment of a total of NT$17.93 million in air pollution control fees was pursued. (3) Audit testing of 88 cases, of which emission standards were exceeded in 10 cases, with penalties being announced in all cases; The tested values of the VOCs content of raw materials (goods) was more than 10% higher than the reported values in another 11 cases, and air pollution control fees were recalculated in these cases. (4) In conjunction with EPA and City policies, continued assistance was provided for the shift to the use of low-pollution fuels in boilers. During the Plan period, a total of 6 enterprises (10 boilers) completed or planned a shift from the use of coal or fuel oil to natural gas, LPG, or super diesel/biodiesel. (5) This Plan continued to promote implementation of self-management systems for fugitive pollutant emissions, and required public and private premises to adopt nearby roads, including sweeping and cleaning, and send back one on-site photograph at least every week; a total of 70 enterprises signed agreements pledging to establish self-management systems. During the Plan period, a cumulative total of more than 7,374 km of roads were swept and cleaned; it is estimated that this work can reduce total suspended particulate (TSP) emissions by 101.76 tons, particulate matter (PM
10) emissions by 19.17 tons, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions by 4.48 tons.
