New Taipei is large in area, and has a very large number of factories subject to
regulatory control. In order to determine the correct numbers of factories subject to
regulation and to increase the accuracy of pollutant discharge volume, the New Taipei
Bureau of Environmental Protection has been relying on cross comparisons of air, water,
waste, and toxic substances, and up- and downstream supply chain comparisons to
perform regular audits of reported data and gain a better understanding of potential
pollution sources. We are also employing legal compliance audits, inspection and testing,
and autonomous management systems as tools to boost the effectiveness pollution control.
The main work items in this Plan (2015 New Taipei City Stationary Pollution Source
Control for Designated Industries and Air Pollution Fee Late Payment Plan—hereafter
referred to as "this Plan") include air pollution control fee management, emissions
management tasks, designated pollution source (e.g. users of highly-polluting fuels,
fugitive particulate matter emission sources, and industrial areas, etc.) project
management and implementation of controls applying to designated industries responsible
for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc. The main results achieved by
this Plan included the following: (1) A total of 5,530 air pollution fee report cases were
handled over the period from the second quarter of 2016 through to the second quarter of
2017, which involved a total of approximately NT$89.28 million, and of which 5,373
cases (97% of the total) were settled, with another 157 awaiting collection. (2) With
regard to notification of e-mail preliminary review procedures, since it will only be
necessary to perform one paper documentary settlement with the enterprises subject to
this regulation (which is currently applicable to approximately 600 enterprises) in the
future, we preliminarily estimate that this measure can reduce administrative costs
including paper, postage, and manpower costs by at least 75%. (3) We continued to
implement cross comparisons of air, water, waste, and toxic substances, and up- and
downstream supply chain audit comparisons, and summoned at least 300 enterprises
possibly subject to air pollution fee reporting to explanatory meetings; 66 more
enterprises were found to be subject to regulatory controls this year, 37 of these
III
enterprises began reporting air pollution fee data after attending explanatory meetings,
and 12 of the enterprises exceeded the air pollution fee collection threshold. After data
comparison, review, and audit work, it was estimated that NT$26.28 million in air
pollution fees can be collected from the latter enterprises. After re-assessing the 2,795 tons
of VOC (about 465 tons per year) emissions and the effect of economic incentives such as
air pollution fees, we induced nine enterprises to propose reduction measures, which can
reduce VOC emissions by at least 120 tons. (4) Inspection and testing in 78 instances
found that 13 cases exceeded emission standards; sulfur oxides (SOx) test results were
high in these cases, and enterprises constituting the subject of frequent complaints and
having high air pollution fees were the main entities exceeding standards. This Bureau
sought air pollution fees in 5 of these cases. (5) Active promotion of a self-management
system for fugitive emissions and requirement that public and private facilities adopt
nearby stretches of road for street-cleaning and complete expansion of self-management
functions. Development of a cell phone app plan allowing the uploading of photographs
was completed, assistance was provided to 67 enterprises voluntarily signed to join
self-management operations, and 68 enterprises signed nearby road adoption and cleaning
agreements. The length of adopted road increased from 18 km to 20 km, and the
cumulative distance of road cleaning work surpassed 8,477 km; it is estimated that this
can reduce TSP emissions by 116.99 tons, reduce PM10 emissions by 22.04 tons, and
reduce PM2.5 emissions by 5.15 tons.
