The goal of this project is to assist the EPA in establishing technical teams for northern Taiwan environmental accidents and help companies establish environmental accident joint response support teams. The environmental accident technical teams established at Taipei, Yilan, and Hsinchu contain 16 individuals each (including four persons in the air pollution incident working team), and have at least three persons available at all times. The teams are ready round-the-clock to support accident response activities at accident sites, including support of response monitoring, sampling, and clean-up and recovery work. They can strengthen response capabilities in the event of major air pollution incidents, boosting the promptness and versatility of environmental accident response. The three teams have participated in a total of 80 on-site response actions (and handled 41 accidents), have implemented installation, calibration, and maintenance work involving EPA instruments, and have updated basic response data within their assigned areas. In their routine prevention and readiness work, they have completed 129 in-plant assistance sessions at toxic chemical substance handling facilities, 61 in-plant no early warning response tests, 19 explanatory meetings concerning laws and regulations, two mobilization workshops, two group training sessions for joint response task forces, 43 exercises with local environmental authorities, implementation of mobilization, anti-terror, and environmental accident exercise simulations assigned by the EPA, and assistance to bureaus of environmental protection in review of 201 hazard prevention and emergency response plans. The teams have further completed data collection for 1121 toxic chemical substance handlers in industrial parks, and provided recommendations concerning toxic chemical substance accident prevention plans for cities and counties in their areas of jurisdiction. Personnel have been sent to Singapore to take part in toxic chemical accident response commander training, to France to participate in aquatic chemical pollution training, and to the US to take part in general knowledge, operations, and technical training programs for chemical accident response personnel. One expert and agency case review conference was held to prevent the same accidents from recurring. With regard to the "environmental accident pollution source survey," 93 sample analysis reports were completed. As for coordinating the establishment of industry environmental accident joint response support team, this plan completed operating mechanisms for three teams in northern Taiwan, and participated in training, support of missions, and exercises 9 times.
