In order to strengthen and implement the management of varied kinds of industrial waste, the EPA of the Executive Yuan has prepared the Project by arranging 16 dedicated professionals to the local environmental protection agencies (except those of Municipalities, Kinmen County, Lianjiang County, and Penghu County) to assist in providing counseling services for the industry to familiarize themselves with the “Waste Disposal Act”-related storage, removal, treatment (reuse) regulations and filing obligations, so as to feed back to the baseline database to conduct statistical analysis as decision-making supports and further enhance the implementation of source responsibility. During the implementation of the Project, such professionals have cooperated with local agencies in supervising and improving their online reporting rate of industrial waste, and the submission rate and pass rate of the Industrial Waste Disposal Plans (IWDPs). At the same time, to ensure the quality of reporting and reviewing for the purpose of comparing the baselines relevant to the audit of the subsequent flow and supporting the decision-making, they have helped inspect the IWDPs reviewed and passed by the local units, review the current status visits, and conduct corporate visits to check their operations in accordance with the approved IWDPs, etc., so as to improve the quality of the IWDP’s filing and reviewing. In addition, they have helped formulate the "2022 Industrial Waste Disposal ＆ Flow Auditing Plan" and supplement the "Industrial Waste Disposal and Flow Checking Operation Manual" to supervise and urge local units to implement the industrial waste controls within their jurisdiction. They will help study and analyze the major waste disposal cases or those exposed by the media, inspect by the rolling method the management tools of the current audit report, and test-run the whole plant flow management audit model, in order to achieve deterrence measures for the local units to confirm the targets before examination. Through the above-mentioned reviews and counseling upgrades, the Project will improve the integrity and correctness of the basic corporate information in the IWR&MS database, so that the environmental protection agencies at all levels may conduct the linking audits, comparison, screening, counting, auditing, and flow tracking & controls on the data in relation to the online filing of the industrial waste flows.
