This Plan's implementation period extended from December 3, 2018 to November 30,
2019, 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 5,964 (1,447 enterprises) air pollution
control fee reports between the third quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018,
completion of settlement in 4,843 cases (accounting for 85% of reports), and performed
acceptance in 842 cases; the total verified amount subject to collection was approximately
NT$78.62 million. (2) Audit testing of 40 cases, of which emission standards were
exceeded in 2 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 2 cases, and air pollution control fees were recalculated in these cases.
(3) 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 73
enterprises (125 boilers) completed or planned a shift from the use of coal or fuel oil to
natural gas, LPG, or super diesel/biodiesel. (4) 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 74
enterprises signed agreements pledging to establish self-management systems. During the
Plan period, a cumulative total of more than 7,312 km of roads were swept and cleaned; it
is estimated that this work can reduce total suspended particulate (TSP) emissions by
100.91 tons, particulate matter (PM10) emissions by 19.01 tons, and fine particulate matter
(PM2.5) emissions by 4.44 tons.
