The project is set to be executed from April 19, 2023, to November 30, 2023. It includes tasks such as the survey and management of asbestos-containing building materials, which involves conducting(Including Willingness Survey). The project also entails the review and verification of subsidy applications related to asbestos building material waste. Additionally, there are plans to conduct 25 public or relevant unit promotion and explanation sessions. Various delegated tasks and other responsibilities are also part of the project scope. A detailed breakdown of the work content and achievements is provided in each chapter. As of November 30, 2023, the project's execution status is as follows: 1. Asbestos-Containing Building Material Investigation and Management (Including Willingness Survey): Conduct thorough on-site surveys to verify the current status and removal willingness of buildings with asbestos roofing materials in the county. Approximately 2,250 buildings are slated for investigation. Communicate with property owners, informing them about the presence of asbestos-containing building materials and providing necessary precautions. Execute the management of asbestos-containing building material investigations and maintain comprehensive data records. As of November 30, 2023, a total of 2,269 status surveys have been completed. Out of these, 133 buildings no longer have asbestos roofing materials. Further examination reveals that only 483 buildings with asbestos roofing materials have expressed a willingness to apply for subsidies. 2. Subsidy Application Review and Verification for Asbestos Building Material Waste: During the planned period, the review of 66 cases is anticipated. This process involves scrutinizing eligibility for subsidy recipients by cross-referencing the system and ensuring compliance with specific building conditions. Applicants are then notified for joint site inspections to confirm the demolition scope and quantity. Subsequently, coordination with the removal and treatment entities (contractors under the joint agreement with the Environmental Protection Administration) is initiated for the necessary cleanup procedures. As of November 30, 2023, a total of 84 applications have been received, with 69 cases successfully reviewed. Pending reviews are actively being processed in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Bureau. For approved applications, the first joint site inspection for the cleanup operation is scheduled for November 20th. This will cover (a total of four removal points, encompassing an area of approximately 378.648 square meters.) The second joint site inspection before the subsequent cleanup operation is set for December 8th, involving (a total of seven removal points with an estimated area of 534.190 square meters.) The actual cleanup is slated to take place on December 5th and December 9th, 2023, respectively. 3. Conducting Relevant Information Sessions and Publicity: The project aims to organize 25 public or relevant unit information sessions, along with an additional professional briefing. The Environmental Protection Administration signed a joint contract for asbestos building material cleanup on July 14, 2023. Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Bureau issued a press release on August 29, 2023, regarding free asbestos cleanup. As of November 30, 2023, one professional briefing and 26 public information sessions have been successfully conducted, fulfilling contractual obligations. 4. Other Assigned Tasks: Support the agency in implementing the "2023 Environmental Protection Performance Assessment Plan for Directly Administered Cities and Counties" by furnishing updates on project progress, evaluation reports, and relevant information. Ensure timely collection and provision of public sentiment information related to the commissioned project on various websites or social media platforms. Respond promptly to any requests for drafting responses, collaborate with the Environmental Protection Administration in preparing materials for major policy implementations, and handle any other ad-hoc assignments as needed.
