This project assisted the Environmental Protection Administration in promoting activities concerning the management of industrial waste, performing relevant information system maintenance and providing free consulting services for IWR＆MS. The project of this year included 72 project tasks, which could be categorized into 4 major parts: system optimization, expanding the controlled waste clearance vehicles which should be equipped with GPS, free consulting hotline services, and data compilation and administrative support. For the purpose of system function optimization, schedule was reprogrammed for the IWR＆MS as had been planned in 2016. The self-clearance and treatment permit system was reprogrammed by using .NET Framework version 4.5, and reporting page was re-designed as well. Examination functions of the Industrial Waste Disposal Plan were upgraded based on the suggestions from the first-line environmental protection authorities. Other related functions include examination statistics, filling in the Industrial Waste Disposal Plans and complex search report. To urge the use of manifest App, this project helped law amendment and optimize App operation procedure. Five functions concerning reporting and examining were improved: enhancing the electronic payment reconciliation function for all kinds of permits in EMS system, introducing responsive web design for the EMS and IWR＆MS, integrating the reporting interface for treatment facilities and recycling facilities to file product management records, analyzing and developing checking and examining functions for the flow of products produced from self-treatment industries and waste cooking oil, and improving the management between local environmental protection bureaus and reporting efficiency. For the purpose of expanding the controlled waste clearance vehicles which should be equipped with GPS, the first term for this expansion was completed. 10,500 vehicles which should be equipped with GPS are under control of the current expansion. Software and hardware platforms after the expansion should continue to be evaluated, monitored and established. Besides, this project also assisted in holding workshops for disseminating legislative information, and continued to upgrade the efficacy of real-time monitoring system of clearance vehicles as well as optimization for checking and examining functions. As for free consulting hotline services, this project integrated these services for industrial waste management. An average of 4,160 questions per month concerning permit application, reporting and system operation were answered through the help of free consulting hotline services. Satisfaction survey was conducted in October, 2019, with a satisfaction rate of 98.5% from interviewees. This project has edited and submitted an annual report 2018 as required in Contract. 12 functions concerning industrial waste reporting statistics compilation were updated in IWR＆MS. Waste (resources) statistical report were prepared each quarter. For the purpose of system maintenance and administrative support, to make sure the system can operate normally, data base schedule was confirmed monthly on a regular basis, and data backup and system restart were also performed. This project also assisted in integrating industrial waste and GPS data base according to requirements from Department of Environmental Monitoring ＆ Information Management, performing formal system vulnerability scanning and carrying out GPS task force examination as well as more than 349 urgent inquiries to achieve the goal of industrial waste informatization services and data sharing.
