Abstract
Air Pollution Control Law was amended in 1992. According to the revised law, public and private locations, with any equipment emitting prescribed air pollutants, need the permits by the authorities concerned prior to the construction, installation and operation of the equipment. Permits are also required when a business using such equipment changes ownership or when such equipment is moved from one location to another. The business should submit the permit application to prove that the emission standards are actually met in their pollution sources. Based on the information submitted, the authorities concerned will evaluate and then, if not against the emission standards, will issue the permit to construct or the permit to operate. The operative activities of the pollution sources are allowed to start until receiving the permits.
The permit system of air pollution control has been applied for ten years. From two-stage evaluation to single-stage evaluation, the application procedures tend to be more efficient. In the past year, the concept of the total capacity has been adopted. Model simulation and the increasing emission rate over the assigned amount are also included to better the permit system. With the coming era of e-government, the related works are undertaken on line to update the latest information of the emission rate, air pollution fee and the result of emission test. A series of transformations increase to some degree the workloads of Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and the local Environmental Protection Bureaus (EPB). Environmental engineering technicians and environmental engineering companies are not exception. In a word, our government and the related industries are investing a great amount of human resources and make efforts to advocate the permit system.
By means of stack test, active report of emission rate, the establishment of database and regular checks of the pollution sources, we attempt to compare and shorten the difference between the actual conditions of air pollution and the documentary information provided by the factories with permits. Besides, application forms, stack test, change procedure and evaluation procedure are created and improved as our actual needs dictates. Estimated emission potentials , the active report of air pollution, model simulation and total capacity — all are included in the permit system to gain a even more effective control of our air quality.
The procedures of this study go as follow: (1) to analyze the impropriety and discrepancy of the previous evaluations of the factories with permits. (2) to examine the propriety of the content of the application documents according to the regulations of the Air Pollution Control law. (3) to study the effectiveness of the evaluative techniques and the regulations of the permit system. (4) to show the difference of the prescribed emission rate and the actual emission rate of the top fifty factories in Hsing-Chu county. (5) to investigate the intactness of the increasing emission rate over the assigned amount and the best available control technology. (6) to check whether the emission tests after gaining permits comply with the emission tests in laws. (7) to collect the statistic information from questionnaires so as to consolidate the basis of permit regulations.
From the review of related documents and the information of the questionnaires by factories’ members and those of EPB, this study comes to a conclusion. (1) From the study of the requirements and the regulation strategies, we found the fact that many applicants submit insufficient information or incorrect fees because they know little about the permit system. (2) The related databases aren’t efficiently integrated and thus the applications still remain complicated. (3) Regulations about the emission tests are incomplete and the requirements of permit applications appear unclear. (4) On the part of certification, the role of environmental engineering technicians is dubious to some factories.
The solutions of the problems above are indicated in the following: (1) To help the factories understand the regulations of the permit system. (2) To enhance the evaluative quality of issuing permits. (3) In order to automatically detect the odd data and revise the databases or create new ones due to the complications of technology factories, all related databases should be integrated and become complete. (4) Our permit applications should be simplified and be undertaken on line. (5)To enact the standard operating procedure (SOP) of the evaluations of emission rate, the increasing emission rate over the assigned amount and the best available control technology. (6) To re-examine if the requirements about the increasing emission rate over the assigned amount are reasonable. (7) It is proposed that EPA makes a public notice about the standard test methods of those prescribed air pollutants. In the case of no detecting (ND) tests, the maximum or medium digits can be accepted as their test results.
