The Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has been working on the management of bottom ash for years. Developing handling approaches and promoting reuses have been the key strategies to regulate bottom ash.
The EPA has started the regulations on the handling of bottom ash since 2002, and numerous amendments have been proposed and executed over the years. This year, in response to the latest amendments on the regulations of bottom ash reuses, this project has re-established the Recycled-Aggregate Management System (RAMS), and 7 functions have been modified. Restricted sectors under the regulation can file reports via the 7 functions starting in 2018. The new functions are as follows: Public Information, Registration for Work Permits, Examinations and Issuance, Regular Reporting, Manifest Reporting, Account Management, and System Maintenance.
Since the purpose of the RAMS is to track and position the flow of recycled-aggregate, this year’s project was mostly aimed at developing the function for filing manifests. This has allowed users to precisely track the flow of recycled-aggregates before, during, and after transporting and cleaning. In addition, the EPA can fully implement the regulations on the flow of recycled aggregate. Moreover, in order to introduce the newest reporting procedure to the private and public sectors, the project has helped EPA to hold seminars and make promotional materials. This has helped the sectors to get familiar with the latest law revisions and system functions in the shortest time possible. Additionally, a draft on developing 7 new functions, which focuses on auditing and exporting statistical reports, have been proposed to the EPA as a reference for next year’s project implementation.
