This project comprehensively reviewed and enhanced the Special Industrial parks related regulations to comply with the main amendments, the data open and the violation penalties requirements, of the Air Pollutant Control Act in 2018. Besides, the five Special Industrial Parks, including the Linyuan Industrial Park, the Linhai Industrial Park, the No. 6 naphtha cracking complex industrial park, the southern Taiwan Science Park and the central Taiwan Science Park have been monitored for 4 years since May 2015 and there were several management problems needed to be improved. Thus, this project completed the drafts on the revision of the recording and declaring requirements for industrial parks developers, introduction of the in-situ inspection and verification mechanisms requirements for local Environmental Bureau, development sanction criteria, and reasonably adjustment of monitoring requirements to raise the awareness of self-authority and self-responsibility, to lower regulatory cost and to improve the monitoring data quality. The rules and regulations are depended on the local Environmental Bureau to properly and thoroughly enforce and implement. Thus, this project established 3 management manuals, covering the manuals for the determination of special industrial parks, the manuals for declaration and data verification, and the principles of data calculation and processing, which can provide management references for local authorities and special industrial zone development units to follow. Besides, this project regularly collected monitored results and tracked the implementation status of special industrial area and environmental competent authorities. To enhance the management abilities of the environmental competent authorities, this project provided consultation service, held education training meeting, and also implement on-site coaching for 2 of the environmental competent authorities. At the same time, this project maintain the information system and established new spreadsheets and functions for reporting and reviewing the QAQC data, the reasons of transmission interrupt, and the air quality management actions on high-value monitoring data, which provide industrial areas developers and competent authorities to use. Also we constructed the air quality monitoring website of special industrial area for data opening. In addition, the project analyzed monitored data regularly to screen if the data effective rate meet the standards and have a full grasp of the status of air quality. Compared the 2017 and 2018 data monitored by special industrial park stations with the nearby EPA air quality monitoring stations, the average annual concentration of general air pollutants were in the same trends, and the 2018 concentrations are relatively improved than 2017. This project also used the Air Monitoring Comparison Values (AMCVs) developed by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as a screening value to observe the primary pollutants in the area. The results showed were mainly volatile organic compounds. Then, this project parsed transmission characteristic of weather conditions and compared with stationary pollution source emissions to identify potential emission sources. The data analyzation methods and results could provide a valuable reference on air quality management works for environmental competent authorities.
