Abstract
The project spans 12 months, from March 15, 2007 to March 14, 2008. Major works included in the project are: (1) Database maintenance, updating, and management; (2) Implementation of permit application system; (3) Conduct tracking and checking payment of air pollution control fee; (4) Conduct internet application and review of emission amount permit; (4) Organize on-the-job training, promotion and seminar for dedicated personnel etc. All said items are in progress (Summary of Project Achievement 1.3-2) according to schedule (as shown in the following table). All quantified work items have reached 100% completion rate, with the only exception of news release.
Up until this stage, a total of 2,020 cases of regular pollution sources (9 cases less than last fiscal year), 2,607 cases of production process, 10,813 cases of random pollution resources, 2,986 cases of pollution prevention equipments, 2,671 cases of discharge pipelines; 4,264.21 ton/year particulate pollutant, 16,810.27 ton/year SOx, 30,437.87 ton/year NOx, and 7,960.68 ton/year VOCs have been listed under the governance of County Environmental Protection Bureau. Major reasons for the change are: execution of thorough checking, resulting in emission amount changes; modification of calculation baseline, resulting in production process and productivity changes of the governed plants. In summing up, emission changes of regular pollutants in Taichung county since 1997 through 2007 are: particulate pollutant emission reduced from 5,424 ton/year to 4,264 ton/year; SOx, from 83,698 ton/year to 16,810 ton/year, NOx, from 28,097 ton/year increased slightly to 30,438 ton/year, while VOCs increased significantly from 2,803 ton/year to 7,961 ton/year.
In all 250 plants completing of on-site checking and file compilation, listed production process reduced by 27%, listed pollutants reduced by 26%, listed pollution prevention equipment reduced by 29%, listed discharge outlet reduced by 16%. Regarding governed emission amount, particulate pollutant reduced by 15.93 tons, SOx reduced by 232.49 tons, NOx increased by 603.49 tons, VOCs reduced by 433.12 tons, and CO reduced by 121.09 tons.
Since execution of air pollution control fee transferred to local government in July 2007, the project has completed operational plan of related new air pollution control fee system for the bureau, in addition to filing and scanning of 706 cases of air pollution control application. Through maintenance and updating database, and checking and tracking air pollution control fee, an additional 56 plants are listed as applicants for air pollution control fee, another 39 listed plants are screened out, which amount to a total payment of NTD 5,138,140. Moreover, data matching of 47 plants in the 1st quarter have been completed in accordance with the appointed plants designated by Environmental Protection Administration and top 30 pollution resources. Findings show that 2 of them have application error, the others are different in calculation basis (permit is based on SCC coefficient, while air pollution control fee is mean coefficient). By providing assistance to plants in application procedure, the project has increase the county payment ratio to over 90% from the initial 60%.
In execution of permit system related operations, a total of 64 installation permits and another 292 operation permits have been issued in the current stage. In analyzing permit reviewing time, average days for installation permit has reduced to 8.8 days, 0.1 day less than that of 2006; operation permit reduced to 8.8 days, 3 days less than that of 2006. Accordingly, total average permit reviewing days have been greatly shortened from all previously years. The project has also provided guidance to 91 production processes on the 8th publication list to help completing application procedures by the end of 2007. Checking and problems compilation of 285 production process permit have found a 36.8% inconsistence rate (inconsistence of entrust institutions amounts to 41.67%). Improvement rate after guidance has reached to 71%, total checking consistence rate is 89%. Document quality evaluation for 370 manufacturers has been conducted, with 78 average evaluation scores, of which most are B class.
In 2007, execution of auditing plan on 95 plants of the second highest MIR, total VOCs emission has increased to 520.572 ton/year, among them 138.535 ton/year (reduction) belongs to emission updating class (including shutout, production reduction, coefficient change, rearrangement of governance list), while another 639.368 ton/year comes from practical productivity increase or operation status change.
Furthermore, checking conducted on plants with high MIR has found that 14 plants (including 3rd plant of Taiwan Glass Ind. Corp.) have potential for emission reduction. Among them, 5 plants (including Taipei Pack Industries Corporation) have a large emission amount and no effective prevention facilities installed. It is advised that those should be listed and monitored as targets for emission reduction. In addition, storage tank located in the port area, are equipped with simple-devised activated charcoal absorption equipments. Manufacturers have committed to improve by increasing replacement rate. However, realization and efficiency of existing equipment models fall short to meet VOCs code and relevant regulations. Frequently intensive checking and severe penalty should be imposed before subsequent requesting for improvement of prevention equipment is taken.
