This report outlines the implementation results and recommendations for the "Pingtung County Fixed Pollution Source Control and Air Quality Deterioration Response Plan" for the year 113. The plan, which spans from January 1 to December 31, 113, aims to improve air quality in Pingtung County through several key initiatives.
1. Permitting Control Operations
As of mid-November, a total of 509 permitted processes were audited, with a non-compliance rate of 4.0%. Among the 20 processes identified as non-compliant, 12 showed increased emissions of pollutants, which included increased sources and raw material usage exceeding limits. A total of 210 permits have been issued, with an average review time of 21.5 days, an increase from 18.2 days in the previous year due to adjustments in the review process following prior evaluation deficiencies. Continuous monitoring of non-compliant processes will be conducted, along with follow-up checks on 19 processes that have submitted improvement requests.
2. Regulatory Compliance Monitoring
The plan has successfully completed scheduled inspections of 69 factories, conducting 1,432 daytime inspections and 511 nighttime inspections. The implementation rate reached 358%. Severe violations have been addressed, impacting enterprises such as Guotong, Ruiyang, and Huiliang, resulting in fines totaling NT$920,000. Additionally, inspections of 137 gas stations have been completed, with a compliance rate of 96.4%. Non-compliant gas pumps are being inspected and repaired, with operators required to submit improvement reports.
3. Pollution Source Reduction
The plan includes reduction assistance for pollution sources, with successful improvement outcomes for 12 public and private sites. Specifically, in the shipbuilding industry, requirements for additional pollution control equipment have been implemented, expected to reduce VOC emissions by 24 tons. Continuous support will be provided to factories frequently receiving complaints, along with monitoring of their progress.
4. Air Quality Deterioration Response and Monitoring
This year, there have been 12 days of air quality alerts, with 108 inspections conducted. During periods of poor air quality, factories are required to maintain control measures and adhere to reduction plans. An online reporting system developed by the Environmental Protection Bureau encourages fixed pollution sources to autonomously reduce production during poor air quality days, ensuring the accuracy of reported data.
5. Analysis of Poor Air Quality Causes
The report analyzes the causes of poor air quality, particularly during the winter months in the Gaoping air quality zone, where external pollutants and high-pressure systems contribute to significant changes in PM2.5 levels and increasing O3 concentrations. These findings underscore the necessity of enhancing monitoring and response measures for external pollution sources.
Conclusion
The plan has shown notable effectiveness in both permitting control operations and regulatory compliance monitoring. Future efforts will focus on tracking non-compliant processes and conducting in-depth research into the causes of poor air quality. Through ongoing initiatives, it is anticipated that emissions from pollution sources will be effectively reduced, resulting in improved environmental quality and public health in Pingtung County. The plan will continue to optimize measures, strengthening air quality maintenance and improvement efforts.
