The summary of the implementation results of the work of this plan is as follows: 1.Permit Control Operations: (1) As of Dec. 2023, 18 permit verifications and site visits were completed within the jurisdiction. The project aimed to synchronize the verification of approved emission amounts on each permit through various audit opportunities. As a result of on-site visits and guidance, one facility switched to low-pollution fuel, and another ceased operations, leading to a total emissions reduction of 0.195 T/Y for Particulate Matter, 0.252 T/Y for SOX, 0.784 T/Y for NOx, and 0.036 T/Y for VOCs. (2) In Dec. 2023, the city received a total of 1 permit application submission and 17 operating permit applications. The integrated environmental permit and pre-permit review system ensured accuracy and consistency in application data. (3) By Dec. 2023, 25 permit verifications were completed with a 100% success rate. 2.Emission Reporting Review and Verification: (1) In 2023, 16 facilities were required to submit annual emission reports, with 2 in the first batch and 2 in the second batch. (2) The emission amounts reported for 2022 were 1.65 tons for particulate matter, 9.41 tons for sulfur oxides, 109.978 tons for nitrogen oxides, and 50.89 tons for volatile organic compounds. (3) The project team completed the registration review confirmation for the first four quarters of 2022. After reviewing online submission data and conducting on-site verification of emission amounts, immediate on-site guidance was provided for discrepancies. 3.Data Maintenance, Updates, and Expansion Operations: (1) A total of 30 maintenance and database QA/QC operations were completed, exceeding the target. Comprehensive inspections for the plastic manufacturing industry and surface treatment facilities were carried out. (2) After updating data for existing listed public and private places, 18% had changes in process and basic information, 72% had no changes, and 10% were delisted. The total number of listed public and private places is now 231. 4.Air Pollution Fee Collection Operations: (1) A total of 76 listed public and private places subject to air pollution fees were identified through factory inspections. (2) Taiwan CPC Corporation's solvent chemical division had the highest payment for volatile organic compound reporting, accounting for approximately 59.6%. (3) A total of NT$4,249,343 was collected over three years, with an average annual income of NT$1,416,448. The actual income for 2022 was NT$1,439,942. (4) As of the second quarter of 2023, NT$503,699 has been collected, with 21 quarterly reports pending review in Jan. 2024. (5) The average reporting-to-payment rate for air pollution fees from the first quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2022 was 100%. 5.Air Pollution Fee Verification Operations: (1) In 2023, verification operations for air pollution fee declarations were conducted at 40 facilities for SOx/NOx, 40 for VOCs, and 43 for particulate matter. (2) Of the 54 businesses audited, 2 were found to have errors in activity levels, leading to corrections. Two cases involved aluminum secondary casting, where similar coefficients for aluminum secondary smelting were mistakenly applied. After correction, one case involved incorrect operation of continuous automatic monitoring facilities. 6.Fixed Source Inspection and Control Operations: (1) A total of 579 inspections and audits were conducted for listed and unlisted public and private places by Dec. 2023. (2) Compliance with regulations for fixed pollution sources was confirmed through various audits, including relative accuracy tests, gas/oil ratio and gas leak detection audits, odor sampling and analysis, equipment component tests, and inspections of emission ducts. 7.Fixed Source Permit and Air Pollution Fee Promotion and Explanation Meeting: A seminar on fixed pollution sources and related regulations was held on Apr. 20, 2023. Mr. Jiang Shengwei from the Atmospheric Environment Department of the Environmental Protection Agency provided key explanations on permit processing and self-testing and reporting regulations for fixed pollution sources. The goal was to enhance operators' awareness of regulations and prevent violations.
