The objects of this project are: to analyze the effects of the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) executed by local EPB, to assist EPA to audit the data of local EPB submit, to revise "The Auditing Rules for effects of State Implementation Plans for Local EPB", and to summarize the related information about auditing to EPA and the committee of air pollution control technology consultant. Regarding the auditing result, most of the local EPBs could get full score on the common works indicators in 2002. The ratio of reduced emissions in 2002 for TSP, SOx, NOx, NMHC and CO were 11.1%, 10.5%, 3.2%, 2.5% and 4.1% respectively. According to the monitoring data, air quality has been also improved in 2002 for most counties. About the cost of air pollution controls, the lowest cost for the common plans was the plan of stationary sources control, and the highest one was the inspection plan of diesel vehicles. We have designed the procedure for auditing in the project at the first time. The audit results showed that there were some uncompleted situations in the recording sheets proposed by local EPB on implementing their air pollution control works. Besides, there are difference in the forms of the recording sheets and the certainties of the records by surveyors in some counties. To resolve this problem, formulating the uniform specification to be followed by local EPB was suggested. Additionally, some member in air pollution control technology consultant found some uncertainty in QA/QC on motorcycle inspection works. It is also suggested to establish the rules for selecting outstanding teams of air pollution control works. "The Rules for Auditing effects of State Implementation Plan for Local EPB" for 2004 had been revised in this project. The points for this revision focus on enhancing the quality for implement, establishment of basic pollution sources data, making the related regulations work more effectively, and enhancing the self management by counties.
