Since the announcement of the Air Pollution Control Act on May 23, 1975, the regulatory standards have continued to be tightened and control targets have been better monitored in recent years with the more mature and comprehensive command on the characteristics of air pollutant emission, along with higher public awareness of environmental protection. However, due to the complicated air pollutant emission characteristics, the air quality in Chiayi County (hereinafter referred to as the County) is used as an example; although the number of days with air pollution indicators (AQI)>150 in the County has been improving in the past four years, ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) remain the main contributors to air pollution. It seems that the control on individual emissions has not significantly improved the air quality. Therefore, in consideration of the overall air pollution emission control method, the air quality management development plan was initiated.
In order to effectively implement the functions of the environmental education fund, while supervising and ensuring the effectiveness of the implementation of various committees, the Environmental Protection Bureau of the County has integrated the SIP to propose the “Air Quality Management Development Plan.” The Plan plays a role in assisting the Environmental Protection Bureau in supervising the progress and quality of implementing various control tasks, and simultaneously in compiling and analyzing the implementation effectiveness of each project and the air quality status over the years. It develops feasible air quality improvement and contingency measures to specifically improve air quality and enforce air pollution control. In addition, in order to effectively supervise and utilize the environmental education fund, the sub-plan control will be implemented to achieve the maximum performance of air pollution control that is in line with the evaluation method set by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), and to strive for the highest allocation proportion of the EPA’s Air Pollution Control Fund.
Based on the above, the 2019 air quality management development plan aimed to enhance both the performance and environmental indicators. The performance indicator refers to the implementation of a complete effectiveness control method based on the performance evaluation method of the Environmental Production Bureau, in order to help the Bureau supervise the progress and quality of implementing various control tasks. As for the environmental indicator, the County’s air quality objectives and control strategies were planned, and various plans to reduce pollutants and review the situation were formulated via analyzing air quality and revising and updating the amount of emissions of the County from the perspective of its pollution characteristics. In addition, short-, medium- and long-term control strategies were planned to formulate the key points of implementing air quality improvement plans in the following years, in order to systematically plan and study the timetable for improving air quality in the County.
