Based on the requirement of Water Pollution Control Law and Air Pollution Control Law, Environment Professional Engineers are assigned the task to carry out document and on site inspection and review certification business for all permit applications. The objectives are to make use the professional abilities of Environment Professional Engineers to ensure that the pollution control facilities proposed by companies can meet expected functions. However, a few Environment Professional Engineers did not carry out credible certification review operation. The results are those deficients appear in the overall Professional Engineer certification system. Based on this, Environmental Protection Agency of the Executive Yuan is determined to establish the Professional Engineer review system and monitoring and control measures since 2003. The program continues until today with good results. At the same time, to understand the quality of Professional Engineer review and certification, this year, it carries out Professional Engineer business organization review. The emphasis of the review is on the original working manuscripts to show the importance of certification quality control. In this year, the Professional Engineer business organization review discovered that the most frequent appearing defects are "The certification cases are not declared accurately". Next defect item is that the original working manuscript does not have the pictures of on site review saved. And, next defects are that calculation related documentations are not saved, and that certification case contract dates or review completion dates are not reasonable. The results of water pollution control and stationary pollution source on site review show that major defects are 50% and 40% respectively. Comparing against year 2003 to 2005, the major defect ratios for this year increases evidently. There are four possible reasons: first, the skill of the review Professional Engineers is better; second, the operation of preview of application documents preview; third, the increase of EPA assigned review cases, and fourth; and most of the stationary pollution source cases are facility change application. Environment Professional Engineer data base establishment has been continuous for three years. This year's work tasks focus on the upgrade of Professional Engineer review functions; key task planning to improve data base review functions, so that the Professional Engineer review data will be more complete; and, work with opening up the data base to receive inquiring from City and County EPA, to carry out data base opening related function reinforcement and human engineering design.
