Project for Analyzing SIP Achievement of Local EPBs and Assistance on Performance Audit Works in 2008

Absrtact
The differences of execution budget, manpower cost and working expenditure in common plans among counties were analyzed, and it provided subsidizing plans for reference. The average manpower cost was 72~91 thousand NTD per man-month. It was higher than that in 2007, and a positive signal for counties to improve the project quality. To assess about open burning control, motorcycle’s regular inspection, diesel vehicle’s inspection, restaurant and gas station control, the emission reduction was estimated from the improvement that was unqualified originally. The reduction ratio in mobile sources was estimated to be 1.28% for HC and 2.22% for CO. More reduction is possible if the requirement for A/L ratio in gas station is stricter. Besides, the inspection results of other EPA’s projects showed that the works including regulation consistency checking, motorcycle inspecting and disciplining, and the qualified ratio of sampled diesels and construction sites are all improved in this year. But the accuracy ratios of permit approval and emission calculation were lower than that of 2007 and needs further enhancement. To assist EPA to audit the performance of local EPB’s State Implementation Plan, 125 people complained cases were inspected and there were 4 cases accomplished further improvement after the inspection. Total road length of 1,272.55 km was inspected for cleanness condition. These roads were classified as clean or moderate and better than that of 2007. 20,349 copies of “Questionnaire for the satisfaction of air quality improvement” were accomplished. The ratio of satisfaction increased from 34.4% for year 2007 to 36.9% for year 2008. The auditing conferences and demonstration party/meeting were hold for opinion exchange between counties and EPA, and to receive recommendations from air pollution control consultant committee. To review and revise “Auditing Rules for Effects of Local EPB’s State Implementation Plan in 2009”, the emission management related indexes were combined to reflect executed results. In the audit item about “county characteristics and district control”, the major control works were pointed out and concluded for counties to follow up. To integrate the information system and working mechanism of SIP auditing works, the auditing input forms for year 2009 and the relevant documents for SIP Auditing Information System were compiled by project team and sent to local EPBs. In addition, 4 working principles were set up for technology transfer base to sum up working experience.
