According to the modified announcement by Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan, R.O.C. (EPA) in 2014, air quality in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung areas didn’t meet the air quality standards. "The Project of Total Quantity Control of Air Pollution in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung Areas" was promulgated by EPA according to Article 8 of the Air Pollution Control Act on June 30th, 2015, and implemented in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung as the primary area.
This project is accomplished by EPA with the aim of promoting “The Project of Total Quantity Control of Air Pollution in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung Areas”, also including “The Criteria for The Authorization of The Pollutant Emissions Quantities of Existing Stationary Pollution Sources” and the “Regulations for the Authorization of the Emissions Reduction Quantities Difference for Banking, Offsetting or Trading” and other regulations of official announcement. The others are to assist the Environmental Protection Bureau Kaohsiung City Government (EPB) to promote and implement total quantity control in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung areas, and also continue to improve and enhance the air quality in Kaohsiung city. Furthermore, this project reviews and analyzes the implementation method of the total quantity control as a reference in future work of enhancing the air quality in Kaohsiung city.
The main work during the implementation of this project was to handle the application, review, issuance, and management of documents of the project of total quantity control for factories (e.g., emissions approval, specified reduction, approval of reduction difference credit, and alternative method of pollution reduction). All applications accepted by the agency before the implementation date of the project need to complete review and issuance within the regulations time limit from the date of project implementation. Site surveys of factories should be implemented before the issuance of total quantity documents (e.g., emissions approval and difference credit of reduction). The others are to assist the agency to handle specific reduction situations for emissions of factories, alternative method results of specific reduction, and implementation situation of reduction promise.
In addition, depending on the implementation situation of the total quantity control, it is also necessary to handle the relevant review, issuance, and execution of the emission reduction credits of the exchange, trading, extension for factories. Site surveys of factories were implemented if the target of specific reduction didn't meet the standard. The relevant information on the webpage of this plan continued to maintain and update for inquiries and publicity by the authorities and factories, which quickly passed the application for the Web accessibility conformance level AA on June 7th, 2021.
Analyzing the important doubts and suggested countermeasures in the past and the current stage, this project provides suggestions about the second phase of total quantity control project, including the list of objects, regulation of emissions re-approval, target of specified reduction, operational adjustment of emission control, reduction difference credit, emissions offset, and development project emission offset involved with environmental impact assessment. In addition, this project suggests that EPA should announce the implementation of the second phase of total quantity control project as soon as possible, and clearly define the policy objectives and reduction responsibilities in the next phase. The current control policy should be consistent and coherent, not only to accelerate the implementation of the spirit of total quantity control and phased reduction ,but also to increase the willingness of the industry to reduce the emission voluntarily.
