The objectives of the EPA’s (Environmental Protection Administration) registered professional environmental engineer certification cases review inspection plan were for the purpose of examine the quality and defects of certification cases processed by those certified engineers. The results can be used guide the environmental engineers processing the certification and enhance the quality of the report. The operations of registered professional engineering consulting firm/ office have been reviewed since 2006. The key points were focused on inspection of worksheets.
This year (2016), the review of the operation of registered professional engineering organizations found that the most frequent defects were “Relevant calculations are not saved for certificate cases”, around 33%. The next defects were “work drafts did not clearly specify the origin of each fact or the sources and date of data”, and "the results of review were not reasonable or not consistent with the contents of the document”, around 15% each. For the review of water pollution sites, the most frequent defects were "in the application documents, texts and values were not filled in, incorrect or inconsistent", around 24%, followed by "unreasonable treatment unit design parameters and operational parameters", around 11%. Next defects were “operation conditions or control parameters were not consistent with application document”, and "the contaminants in the raw materials were not listed in wastewater water quality items”, 10% each. The most frequent defects appeared on stationary source review were "in the application documents, texts and values were not filled in, incorrect or inconsistent", around 21%. followed by “for pollution control facilities, processing unit design parameters and operation parameters were not reasonable”, around 19%. And next defect was “calculation errors for air pollutant emissions, such used wrong equations and the height of discharge pipe outlets not calculated in accordance to height above ground”, around 11%. For soil and underground water pollution remediation cases on site review, the most frequently appearing defects were “in the application documents, texts and values were not filled in, incorrect or inconsistent”, “site current and usage histories were not described”, “start layout sampling points and sampling before studying of prior site use conditions”, “without business owner’s pollution potential areas”, and “no pollutant data and process pollution control information”, etc. five items.
In addition, to effectively manage the professional engineer certification process, this program established the Registered Professional Environmental Engineer management information system. Through an Internet management system, information was provided to every level of environmental control management organizations to make available basic information on professional engineers, including their certification status, review results, and award and punishment received, to improve the management of professional engineer certifications. And, continuously coordinating with EPA and regional EPB to promote the use of internet to carry out permit application system, to strengthen registered environmental engineer certification record submission and relevant interface functions.
Another objective of this program is to continuously assist EPA to study and develop information for registered professional environmental engineer regulations, including amend regulations related to professional engineer, evaluate registered environmental engineers, environmental engineering industry and environmental consultant company related regulations. And study and propose responses to relevant proposals of Legislative Yuan and environmental industries or registered environment engineers.
