The main characteristic pollutants causing poor air quality in Taiwan consists of ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10). On May 14, 2012, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) included fine particulate matter (PM2.5) among air quality standard control items. With the aim of improving air quality through this project, the EPA reviewed fugitive particulate emissions control strategies and thereby put relevant legal and regulatory systems on a solid footing, implemented laws and regulations controlling fugitive sources of particulate pollutants, and achieved the goal of reducing fugitive particulate emissions. In addition, this company also performed assessment of airborne particulate matter control from roads in industrial areas and assisted the EPA in evaluating air quality maintenance and improvement performance in all counties and cities in order to boost the pollution control effectiveness of local environmental authorities and achieve the goal of improved air quality.
This project helped complete revision and announcement of construction project air pollution control fee collection standards, construction project air pollution control facility management regulations, and the fee rate and fee basis for new dredging projects, which provide increased incentives for the construction industry to install or employ air pollution control facilities reducing particulate matter emissions. In addition, this project also completed review of strategies for upgrading Class III particulate pollutant control zones to Class II control zones and review of strength and air pollution control facilities standards for construction projects in Class III control zones, completed preliminary assessment work for control of airborne particulate matter from roads in seven domestic industrial areas, and supervised the establishment of environmental management systems by road management agencies in industrial areas in order to improve measures to reduce road airborne particulate matter in these areas. Furthermore, this project completed inspection patrols over a total of 1,655 km of key roads in all cities and counties, and observed a total of 357 pollution cases; local environmental protection bureaus and relevant competent authorities have been notified to complete improvement in these cases.
With regard to construction projects, to improve efficiency, the information system's construction project air pollution control fee calculation function for new dredging projects was revised to transfer completed construction projects to the historical database. To gauge the current status of major pollution sources, legal compliance audits were performed of 10 major public projects. In the area of dump truck pollution control, this project designed and developed a dump truck wastewater containment facility, fully resolved the problems of road surface pollution from dump trucks and airborne particulate matter from trucks in motion, and completed the Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Executive Yuan-sponsored 2012 road traffic order and traffic safety improvement year-end inspection plan. With regard to pollution notification by village heads and borough wardens, this project established a fugitive pollution source particulate pollutant management system certification program in conjunction with villages and boroughs under the Low-Carbon Sustainable Homeland Plan. This certification system will guide implementation by village heads and border wardens. As for evaluation of local implementation performance, this project audited legal compliance at 304 public or private premises, and found that six premises had air pollution behavior violations and 121 premises had pollution control facility shortcomings; the local competent authorities have been requested to supervise completion of improvement in these cases.
