The central environmental protection inspection team reported to Shanghai that the law enforcement supervision of relevant departments was weak.
People’s Daily Online, Beijing, April 12 according to the website of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, in order to implement the important decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on Environmental Protection inspectors, from November 28 to December 28, 2016, the second central environmental protection inspection team carried out environmental protection supervision in Shanghai and formed supervision opinions. With the approval of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the inspection team gave feedback to the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government on April 12, 2017. The feedback meeting was presided over by Mayor Ying Yong, leader Zhu Zhixin informed the inspectors, Secretary Han Zheng made a statement, deputy leader Huang Runqiu, relevant personnel of the inspection team, Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, members of the leadership team of the municipal government and the main responsible comrades of all relevant departments attended the meeting.
The inspector believes that since 2013, Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and municipal government have thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s series of important speeches, focusing on promoting the organic combination of environmental protection, economic development and urban construction, environmental protection is generally at the forefront of the country.
Shanghai insists on putting the key and difficult problems of environmental protection into the key work every year. The proportion of the city’s environmental protection investment in GDP has remained at about 3% for many years in a row, and promotes the solution of outstanding environmental problems in stages, constantly improve the urban environmental infrastructure, build a number of major projects such as grass sand water source and ecological greening of the outer ring of the city, and implement the comprehensive renovation of 500 kilometers of backbone rivers, and achieve remarkable results in environmental governance.
Continue to promote industrial adjustment and transformation and development, and reduce pollution emissions from the source. In the past three years, 2540 backward production capacities with high energy consumption and high pollution have been eliminated, and the production capacity of steel, petrochemical and other industries has been reduced; The reduction of construction land has been implemented, and the reduction of construction land has been achieved by 20 square kilometers, all used to increase ecological land. In 2015, the greening coverage rate of built-up areas in the city reached, and the background of green development was strengthened.
Pay close attention to the fine management of the city. Since 2015, focusing on the problems of illegal land use, illegal construction, illegal operation, illegal sewage discharge, illegal residence and so on, we have concentrated on carrying out the “five violations and four necessities” rectification, A total of 2059 pollution sources were rectified in 28 blocks in the city, and 6033 enterprises were eliminated. Fully complete the transformation of ultra-low emission of coal-fired generating units and the elimination of coal-fired (heavy oil) boiler kilns or the replacement of clean energy, and completely eliminate the combustion of bulk coal in the built-up area. To promote the comprehensive treatment of volatile organic compounds in more than 1,200 key industrial enterprises, the elimination of yellow label vehicles and the low emission control of port ships are in the forefront of the country. Explore and promote the market-oriented mechanism, take the lead in promoting the third-party governance of environmental pollution in the country, and achieve better results. Implement on-line real-time monitoring and dynamic tracking of dust pollution on construction sites, Wharf yards, and roads to reduce dust pollution.
Through unremitting efforts, the concentrations of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, PM10 and PM2.5 in Shanghai in 2016 decreased by 37.5%, 10.4%, 28.0% and 27.4% respectively compared with that in 2013. The number of excellent days in the whole year accounted for 75.4%, 9.4 percent age points higher than that in 2013. The environmental quality of surface water has been improved steadily. Compared with 2013, the chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen concentration in the assessment section of the city decreased by and respectively in 2016.
Shanghai attaches great importance to the work of the central environmental protection inspector. In accordance with the requirements of the supervision and reform, strictly investigate and strictly investigate the environmental cases complained by the masses and make them public to the public. By the end of February, 2017, 1893 reports of environmental problems assigned by the inspection team had been completed, 895 were ordered to be rectified, 926 were put on file, 62.11 million yuan were fined, 17 were detained and 545 were interviewed, 56 people are accountable.
The inspector pointed out that the environmental protection work in Shanghai has achieved remarkable results, but the ecological environment quality is still a prominent short board affecting the overall development of the city, compared with the increasing environmental demand of citizens and the goal of building an ecological livable city, there is still a big gap. The main problems are as follows:
First, some environmental protection work relaxes requirements and lowers standards. According to the action plan for water pollution prevention and control, the sewage treatment facilities of urban towns in the coastal waters of yangtze river delta should fully meet the first-class A emission standard before the end of 2016. However, the implementation plan of water pollution prevention and control action plan issued by shanghai in december 2015 postponed the completion time limit of this work to the end of 2020. In November 2015, Shanghai municipal water authority printed and issued the “discretion benchmark for illegal sewage discharge administrative punishment (Trial)”, which listed the situation that sewage treatment facilities were in the construction stage and caused excessive sewage discharge as a lighter punishment, violate the relevant provisions of the Environmental Protection Law. In addition, Shanghai Water Department relaxed the standards when issuing the drainage licenses of enterprises in industries such as ink, starch, textile dyeing and finishing, and failed to implement the relevant requirements of national industry standards.
According to relevant requirements, Shanghai Municipal domestic waste should be treated harmlessly in 2015, with a processing capacity of 33400 tons/day. However, the actual processing capacity of Shanghai as of the inspection is only 24000 tons/day, with a large gap, as a result, illegal dumping of garbage occurs frequently, and the problem of illegal disposal of domestic garbage is prominent. Yangpu District Greening and City Appearance Administration and unqualified individuals agreed orally that they should carry and dispose domestic garbage, and some garbage should be illegally dumped across provinces; huangdu office of environment and sanitation, anting town, jiading district illegally entrusts the unqualified shanghai kangjia pest control co., ltd. to manage domestic garbage and garbage meddle-station, and allows it to illegally transport garbage to other provinces for disposal. In addition, the problem of landfill leachate pollution is prominent, and the upgrading and transformation of landfill leachate treatment facilities in Laogang is lagging behind. Anting domestic waste treatment plant has no landfill leachate treatment facilities, and a large amount of landfill leachate is discharged into the sewage pipe network for a long time every day; gucun garbage dump in baoshan district and zhujiajing garbage dump in minhang district have been shut down for more than ten years, and the closure has not been completed so far. The leachate flows into the rainwater ditch or straight channel.
In november, 2014, the “notice on strengthening environmental supervision and law enforcement” issued by the general office of the state council requires that all areas should completely clean up illegal construction projects and complete the rectification task before the end of 2016. However, the inspection team checked Pudong New Area, Jinshan district, Songjiang district and other places and found that a large number of illegal and illegal projects were not included in the scope of clearance, only 976 illegal projects of wood processing in Fengcheng town, Fengxian district were not included in the clean-up list. Some projects included in the scope of clean-up have not been rectified. There are 46 illegal and illegal projects included in the scope of clean-up in fengcheng town, fengxian district, and 31 of them have not been rectified yet; Shanghai tongli concrete co., ltd., jinshan district, shanghai keless artificial stone Products Co., Ltd. should be eliminated and closed before the end of 2016, but Zhu Jing town and Zhangyan town government adjusted the elimination and closing time of enterprises to the end of 2017 without authorization.
Second, it is not enough to overcome difficulties in water environment management. In 2016, 88 of the 259 municipal surface water monitoring sections in the city were inferior to Class V, accounting for 34%. Since 2013, the water environment quality in Baoshan district has been deteriorating year by year. In 2015, the water quality compliance rate of rivers and sections decreased by 30.7% and 20.7% respectively compared with that in 2013. All 16 Assessment sections were inferior to Class V.
According to the lower-and-middle section of yangtze river water pollution prevention and control plan (2011-2015), by the end of 2015, all urban sewage treatment plants in lower-and-middle section of yangtze river should meet the first-level B emission standard. The action plan for water pollution prevention and control clearly states that all urban sewage treatment facilities in Shanghai should fully meet the First Class A emission standard in 2016. However, as of the time of supervision, among the 50 urban sewage treatment plants in Shanghai, there are 10 sewage treatment plants that implement the first-class A discharge standard, accounting for only 4% of the total treatment capacity; there are 21 sewage treatment plants still implementing secondary emission standards, accounting for 68% of the total treatment capacity. In addition, the mixed rain and sewage in the central urban area of shanghai led to the direct discharge of about 200000 tons of sewage per day; The average daily discharge capacity of the combined rain and sewage pumping station in the central urban area reached 970000 tons. The mixing of rain and sewage and the drainage of pumping station have a great impact on the water quality of river channel and Yangtze River estuary in central urban area.
In terms of drinking water source protection, shanghai did not include the intake of minhang second water plant and fengxian third water plant in the scope of the first-class protection zone in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. There are still more than 100 floating cranes operating illegally for a long time in the drinking water source protection area of the upper reaches of huangpu river, and some floating cranes are located in the first-class drinking water source protection area. There are still 293 illegal and illegal projects and 176 sewage outlets in the secondary water source protection zone of Huangpu River.
The construction of sludge disposal capacity has been slow, and the sludge treatment facilities have not been completed in pudong new area and chongming district as required. The sludge treatment improvement project of shidongkou sewage treatment plant in baoshan district, which should be completed in 2014, has not been completed yet. Part of the sludge is illegally disposed, and the sludge treatment project in Qingpu district has not implemented the environmental assessment requirements, and some heavy metals exceed the standard sludge are composted for landscaping. In addition, 18 urban sewage treatment plants in Shanghai have excessive heavy metals in effluent, and 6 of them have exceeded the standard for a long time.
Third, the law enforcement supervision of relevant departments is soft and weak. The water department in Shanghai has laws that are not followed and the punishment is not strict, which leads to the long-term existence of some industrial enterprises exceeding the standard. According to Shanghai Drainage management regulations, enterprises that seriously exceed the standard should be fined more than 50000 yuan, but among 422 seriously exceed the standard management enterprises that have been punished by the municipal water authority since 2013, there are 375 fines with a minimum penalty of less than 50000 yuan. The environmental protection department is not strict in law enforcement, and the inspection team randomly checks three industrial enterprises and one sewage treatment plant, all of which have problems of long-term illegal sewage discharge but inadequate investigation. Shanghai huayi solid core tire co., ltd. in qingpu district has not been approved to be built first, environmental protection treatment facilities are not matched, long-term illegal sewage discharge, and the local environmental protection department has not imposed a daily penalty according to law.
The execution of environmental illegal punishment decision is not in place. Some areas have not yet formed an effective mechanism for environmental protection, industry and commerce, water supply, power supply and other departments to cooperate with the People’s Court to implement compulsory measures in non-litigation enforcement cases, as a result, about 800 enterprises in the city that have been ordered to stop production since 2013 have not completed the rectification but still have normal production.
In addition, some key enterprises such as Shanghai Petrochemical and Gaoqiao Petrochemical did not complete the volatile organic compounds management tasks on time. There are 73 hazardous chemicals storage enterprises in Shanghai, 32 of which have not been approved by the environmental impact assessment.
The inspectors demanded that Shanghai should resolutely implement the central requirements, firmly establish new development concepts, high standards and strict requirements, strive to overcome difficulties, promote the green transformation of development mode, and build a more livable ecological city. Accelerate the upgrading of sewage treatment plants, and constantly improve the collection, treatment and supervision system of construction waste, domestic waste and sewage treatment plant sludge. Plus-sized clean up and rectify illegal projects, strengthen environmental law enforcement supervision, and form a joint force of law enforcement. Serious accountability shall be investigated according to laws and regulations. Relevant departments shall be instructed to further investigate the problems found in the inspectors, clarify their responsibilities, and be held seriously accountable according to relevant regulations.
The inspector stressed that the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government should promptly study and formulate the rectification plan according to the “environmental protection supervision plan (Trial)” and the feedback from the inspector, and submit it to the State Council within 30 working days. The rectification plan and the implementation of the rectification should be disclosed to the public in a timely manner in accordance with relevant regulations.
The inspection team also sorted out the problem of investigating the responsibility for ecological environment damage found and will hand it over to the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and municipal government according to relevant regulations.
