“In 2018, nine cities and prefectures in the province were unable to implement national assessment requirements for restricted development areas and continued to assess economic indicators such as GDP. At the same time, restrictive indicators of green development cannot fall. Resources and the environment of Qingyang, Zhangye, Gannan and other cities and prefectures The content of these types of binding indicators is generally either missing or missing or is lowering the standard. ” Recently, the Fifth Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspection Group informed the Gansu Province about the inspection situation and directly pointed out the province’s ecological environment.
Not only Gansu province has a similar problem. Recently, as the inspection team comments to some regions on the situation of inspectors, many regions or companies have pointed out that development is even more important than protection.
The inspection team informed Hainan province that the inspectors’ situation said that the highly developed and protected situation is still relatively common in Hainan province.
The original Hainan Province Land and Resources Department adjusted two illegal stone mining projects at Ma’anling in Ledong County and Chahe Sanshiling in Changjiang County to mine restoration and management projects in June 2016, but the adjusted amount of stripped stone and original mining rights are allowed. The mining volume is basically the same, and mining is carried out in the name of governance. Lingshui County is still blindly organizing a large number of high water consumption and real estate projects in the coastal zone in the situation that the contradiction between the supply and demand of water resources is very important, and the natural coast and coastal protection forests are very busy. The local ecological environment is seriously threatened.
In giving feedback to Fujian province, the inspection team stated bluntly that “the concept of emphasizing development rather than protection in some places has not been fundamentally reversed, and some even require protection to make way for development.”
The inspection team found that to make room for the construction project, the city of Ningde illegally adjusted the scope and functional zoning of the waterfowl mangrove nature reserve in the Sanduao wetland in 2012 and 2015 on two occasions, which resulted in a sharp reduction in the area of the nature reserve to 2442.64 Hectares, a reduction of 94%. The Government of the Sanming City Party Committee and the construction of urban and rural housing, natural resources and other provincial departments have failed to fulfill their environmental protection management duties in accordance with the law. They have found reasons and opportunities for the retention of the mining rights of the two limestone mines of Yongan Jinyinhu Cement Co., Ltd. The ecological protection of the key stone scenic spots in the hidden stone forest has a greater impact.
Upon inspecting in Chongqing, the inspection team found that “some localities and departments are not sufficiently knowledgeable in their efforts to promote ecological environmental protection, and their actions are not self-aware.”
The two levels of economic and information departments in Chongqing and Wushan County know that the JT furnace cement production line of Chongqing Mining Development Co., Ltd. should be phased out by the end of 2012, but have not been included in the disposal plan. Wushan County has long allowed the company to produce illegally, and even after the company’s production license expires, it also stepped forward to coordinate with relevant parties to renew the company’s production license, which it led to the long-term illegal discharge of the company and the destruction of the ecology, which threatened the protection of the Yangtze River. .
In addition, the Tongnan District of Chongqing City has introduced 20 industrial projects prohibited by planning in the Tongnan Industrial Park (Northern District), which has caused the environmental problems in the park to be prominent, and the public has expressed Strong responses, especially the odor problem that annoys the public. Up to 625. The centralized wastewater treatment facilities of more than 60 mustard processing companies in Dianjiang County generally operate irregularly. Industrial integration and improvement of more than 1,900 hardware processing companies in Longshui City, Dazu District have been slow to move forward, and regional environmental problems have not been effectively resolved for a long time. There are also some districts and counties that do not pay enough attention to the ecological and environmental issues surrounding the masses. The inspection team verified 29 mass reports and found that 7 cases were not handled on site. For example, Dianjiang County informed Chongqing Tuokai Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. that the public reported the problem of contamination and harassment without in-depth investigation.
“I do not have a deep understanding of the implementation of the strategic decision for the protection of the Yangtze River, and the concept of ‘capturing great protection and not carrying out great development’ is not yet strong enough.” The inspection team spoke bluntly when they handed the inspection over to Chongqing. As a major city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Chongqing has also pointed out that there are still weak links in the management and repair of the Yangtze River shoreline. Ports and docks were illegally built in some places, occupying and destroying coasts. For example, there are 7 illegal piers in the Fuling section of the Yangtze River and the Wujiang River. The Wanzhou District Huage Biochemical Co., Ltd. 20,000-ton tetrachloropyridine project site is located 1 km from the mainstream of the Yangtze River, violating relevant national requirements. However, the Wanzhou District Government and The Wanzhou Economic Development Zone Management Committee has tacitly approved the construction of the project. The project’s environmental impact assessment report was approved in April 2019, and the project didn’t stop until the inspection team discovered it.
Qinghai Province, which needs to protect the Three Rivers, also noted in this inspection that “there is a gap in the implementation of the concept of ecological priority and green development.”
As one of the first 13 circular economy pilot areas in the country, the Qaidam circular economy pilot area, four soda ash production companies in the pilot area have long-term discharge of waste, the inspection team found. of ammonia vapor in the drying tank for evaporation treatment, with annual emissions of up to 30 million tons. Lack of planning and general design for the use and protection of the resources of salt lakes, basically in the state of “development with salt lakes”; Poor implementation of “fix production with water”, some companies have long-term violations of large-scale water withdrawals, and some companies have long-term violations of dams to extract water and destroy rivers and lakes. Natural ecology, the Qinghai Salt Lake Group illegally diverted around 100 million cubic meters of water from the Golmud River in 2018 alone. The relevant departments did not pay attention to it and did not supervise it. Acquiescence was allowed, leading to the intensification of salinization and desertification in some regions.
The inspection team noted that the forest and grassland departments of Qinghai Province did not carry out research on grassland ecology and basic conditions within the required time, and the work to confirm natural resources and other rights was slow. The provincial departments of development and reform, energy, industry and information have not issued the implementation rules to win the battle to defend the blue sky in accordance with the regulations, and the objectives of controlling the total consumption of coal and reducing the consumption of Non-electric coal have not been achieved, especially in 2018, the consumption of non-electric coal increased by 225 ten thousand tons. Additionally, the Manchagou sand quarry in Jimai City, Dari County, occupies more than 110 acres of natural grasslands without authorization, illegally invading the Jimai River Canal, causing serious ecological damage and outstanding environmental impact. In Zeku County, Huangnan Prefecture, the Maixiu City landfill site was located in the Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve without authorization, and the hidden environmental risks were significant.
In this inspection, the core companies were included in the scope of the inspection for the first time. The inspection team discovered that China Minmetals Group Co., Ltd. had specific problems in its expansion and environmental protection. To enter the rare earth field, Minmetals Group still knows that Ganxian Hongjin Company’s production capacity is inconsistent with the completion of the acquisition; It has allowed Ganxian Hongjin, Dingnan Dahua and other companies to be built without approval. Issued production task indicators that exceeded the production capacity approved by the EIA.
The Luzhong Mining Group of the Minmetals Group even used the caving method to mine even when it was expressly prohibited, resulting in 11 hectares of collapsed land in the mining area and there was no land reclamation work. In addition, some subordinate companies have little awareness of environmental compliance. Since 2015, only 11 provinces (autonomous regions), including Liaoning, Jiangsu and Hunan, have imposed more than 120 sanctions for environmental violations by companies in the Minmetals Group. Companies like MCC Shaanxi Heavy Industry Equipment Co., Ltd., Hunan Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd., Hengyang Shuikoushan Jinxin Lead Industry Co., Ltd., etc., do not even accept the lack of cooperation with local supervision.
The inspection team found that China Chemical Oil & Gas Co., Ltd. condoned Shandong Changyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and five other subsidiaries to illegally produce and sell unqualified diesel. In 2018 alone, it sold over 800,000 tons, and the sulfur content exceeded the standard by 985 times. Wastewater from production companies such as Sichuan Zigong Honghe Chemical Co., Ltd. and Jiangxi Lanxinghuo Organic Silicone Co., Ltd. has long been discharged and directly enters the tributary of the Yangtze River.
“In recent years, China’s chemical industry has also faced serious problems of large-scale expansion and poor development quality. As of the end of 2018, 47 of the 69 local state-owned companies that merged and acquired since the establishment of the company filed for bankruptcy in 2004, canceled, ceased production, or became zombies. ” , Or the transfer of property rights, leaving a lot of pending ecological and environmental problems. Some of China’s chemical companies have little awareness of environmental laws and regulations. Since 2013, 65 production and operating companies have been administratively sanctioned for environmental violations. “In inspecting the situation, the inspection team listed the questions one by one.
According to the requirements, the inspected sites and companies must pay close attention to the study and formulate rectification plans based on the inspection reports, and submit them to the Party Central Committee and the State Council within 30 business days. (Reporter Zhang Min)
