Summary of 2021 Fixed Pollution Sources in Chiayi City
English Abstract
The summary of the implementation results of the various tasks of this project is as follows:
(1) Promote the licensing control system
This year, 24 applications were filed for license cases, including 1 application for license installation, 4 application for operating license (new design), 1applications for operating license (transition 2nd version), 15 for license extensions. The average number of review days was 3.34 days, which all met the legal deadline (30 days). In addition, in order to effectively implement the licensing system, 25 license inspections were performed. Regulation compliance were 100%.
(2) Inventory of fixed source listing data
At the present stage, a total of 72 inventory management data have been checked, and the work achievement rate is 100%. After the update, there are 244 public and private places under the management of fixed pollution sources in Chiayi City. According to the statistics of the fixed pollution source database after the completion of the establishment of the archives, the air pollution volume under the jurisdiction after the update of the process pollution emissions includes particle pollution 18.59 tons/year, sulfur oxides 15.27 tons/year, and nitrogen oxides 106.54 tons/year, volatile organic compounds 120.90 tons/year, and carbon monoxide 33.22tons/year.
(3) Collection and verification of air pollution fees
In terms of air pollution fee collection, the air pollution fee collection review was completed from the first quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2020. A total of 88 public and private places were listed in the air pollution fee, and the average declaration rate and payment rate were 100%. Among them, the actual amount collected in 2020 was $NT 905,644; the first quarter to the third quarter of 2021, the three-quarter settlement received was $NT 599,483, because there are still 23 places not declared, which was with incomplete information so it was not included in the analysis.
In terms of air pollution fee verification, 45 cases of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides were completed, 42 places of volatile organic compounds were verified, and 46 places of particulate matter verifications were completed with the operation achievement rate 100%.
The Solvent Chemistry Division of Taiwan Petroleum Co., Ltd., which is a major source of VOC pollution in this city, has been performed equipment component inspections with 1,000 points. According to the results of inspection and sampling, the leakage concentration value of 0-500ppm accounts for the highest proportion, about 100%, totaling 1,000 points. At 501ppm~1,000ppm, it’s about 0%, and the leakage concentration value between 1,001ppm~10,000ppm, it’s about 0%. The results of the overall sampling test are all lower than the defined value of 10,000 ppm for leakage. Among the 1,000 sampling points, the sampling results were in line with the air pollution fee declaration situation.
(4) Inspection operations
At this stage, 604 inspections have been completed. Among them, 299 inspections were conducted mainly for inspections in areas with large pollution emissions and in line with EPA emission plans or subsidies, such as the petroleum refining industry, gas station industry, and hotel industry. The current inspections of the factories are in good condition. Among the 305 audits, 30% of the audits were reported as the highest, followed by audits were reported as the highest with 28%.
(5) Fixed pollution source permit and air pollution fee promotion briefing
There has been one law advocacy meeting related to fixed pollution sources held and it focused on the refined differences in the latest air pollution regulations. The content is to add new violations of the air pollution control law (especially related to the discharge of harmful air pollution, during the deterioration period of air pollution, poor air quality areas with serious air pollution situation), and the revised boiler air pollutant emission standards have been comprehensively tightened (should comply with the new system since July, 2020). A total of 87 units including public and private places with permits, air pollution charges, and the escape of particulate matter in the Chiayi City were invited. A total of 83 units attended this meeting, with 85 participants and the attendance rate was about 95.4%.
