This project includes mainly three major items, namely the maintenance and management of air quality purification areas, the promotion of environmental greening, and the survey on Exposed area. Among the 75 air quality purification areas, totaling 59.5 hectares, 61 were subsidized by the Environmental Protection Administration and 14 by the Environmental Protection Bureau. In addition, trees were planted along the roads for 18.9 kilometers. In fiscal year 2018(July 2018 to June 2019), 150 inspections were conducted, exceeding the original target of 230. A seminary on how to maintain and manage and apply for the air purification area was hosted, in which 18 units participated. In the year-end performance assessments, 8 air purification bases were awarded with medals. A seminary to analyze the plant diseases and insect pests commonly seen in the air quality purification areas was held in a hope to improve the basic capability of our maintenance personnel to identify and treat plant diseases. Surveys on carbon sequestration were carried out at 11 places, accounting for 3,074 strains and capturing 488.1 tons of CO2. On November 15, 2018, the Environmental Protection Administration held an award ceremony for the excellent adoption units of air quality purification areas. The awards were granted to the Lunxi Community in Erlun Township and the Xitun Community in Huwei Township. Moreover, health surveys were conducted at 4 air quality purification bases, of which 2 were improved of their air quality. To promote the eco-greening communities, we issued1 press releases (reports) and hosted 3 briefing sessions to promote the community-greening and beautification construction projects, including 3 holiday sessions. We also carried out for three times the follow-up operation and maintenance of the Community Garden Program at the Erlun Community. We also took inventory of 160 ordinary Exposed area, amounting to about 31.8 hectares; inspected 77 Exposed area within a radius of 5 kilometers around the station, amounting to about 21.5 hectares of Exposed area; and completed improvement projects on 2 Exposed area, amounting to an overall improvement area of 1.04 hectares.
