In order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements in both public
facilities and private business premises, and to facilitate implementation of the air
pollution fee system and air pollution auditing system, the Environmental Protection
Department, New Taipei City Government commissioned the implementation of the
FY2014 New Taipei City Stationary Air Pollution Source Control for Designated
Industries and Air Pollution Fee Late Payment Plan (hereafter referred to as “the
Plan”). The main work items covered by the Plan include: air pollution fee
management; emission management operations; designated pollution source (e.g.
users of highly-polluting fuels, fugitive particulate matter emission sources, and
industrial districts, etc.) project management and implementation of controls applying
to designated industries responsible for emissions of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), etc. Various examinations, audits and tests were carried out to obtain
accurate pollution source emission data for New Taipei City, and administrative work
such as implementation of the air pollution fee declaration and review system has
been used to realize the “polluter pays” principle, providing strengthened economic
incentives for the reduction of emissions at source. The Plan was implemented over a
period of one year; the main results achieved included the following: (1) A total of
4,158 air pollution fee declarations were handled over the period from the second
quarter of 2014 through to the first quarter of 2015, of which 3,926 (94.4% of the
total) underwent final accounting, with another 228 awaiting review; the confirmed
total amount of air pollution fees collected was NT$76.55 million. In addition,
through a combination of review, sampling and cross-tabulation against other air and
water pollution reporting data, the total amount of supplementary payments that may
be required due to inaccurate or falsified air pollution fee declarations was estimated
to be NT$7.11 million. (2) Auditing to verify conformity with legal and regulatory
requirements was implemented on 1,960 instances (depending on the auditing item in
question, one instance might cover an individual facility, instances of implementation
by a given facility, an individual process, or an individual case). After verification
through on-site inspection, the emission management database was updated with
respect to 1,001 businesses. According to the revised data, as of July 2015, the
emissions from stationary air pollution sources in New Taipei City amounted to 1,762
tons of total suspended particles (TSP) per annum, 2,349 tons of sulfur oxides per
annum, 6,517 tons of nitrogen oxides per annum, and 4,748 tons of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) per annum. (3) Other work undertaken as part of the Plan
included 92 inspections and tests of flues, ambient pollution sources and fuel
composition, and 1,030 inspections of VOCs density in equipment components, of
which 8 were found to exceed the specified thresholds (penalties have already been
imposed on these facilities in accordance with the requirements of the law). (4)
Arrangements were made for 22 public and private facilities to “adopt” stretches of
road in the vicinity of the facility and undertake street-cleaning; the total length ofroad adopted in this way came to approximately 11 km, and the amount of
street-cleaning undertaken as a result was equivalent to 5,004 km, which can be
estimated as having reduced TSP emissions by 69.06 tons, and reduced PM10
emissions by 13.01 tons. (5) Guidance was provided to help 11 public and private
facilities (including the New Taipei Industrial Park and Shulin Industrial Park) make
improvements in regard to their pollutant emissions, by making changes to the
quantity of raw materials used, making adjustments to production processes, etc.; it is
estimated that these improvements will lead to a reduction in VOCs emissions of
around 14.6 tons per annum.
