Environmental protection campaigns nationwide to clear up and rectify unscrupulous sewage companies

On July 15th, the State Environmental Protection Administration held a press conference to inform the 37 illegal enterprises and six typical cases that had been investigated and dealt with according to law since the launch of the “Cleanup and Reorganization of Unscrupulous Polluting Enterprises and Safeguarding the Health of the People”.
It is reported that since the launch of the “clean-up and rectification of unscrupulous polluting enterprises and the protection of public health and environmental protection actions”, the State Environmental Protection Administration has sent five inspection teams with an itinerary of more than 20,000 kilometers, targeting Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, and Yunnan. Eighteen provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in Gansu, Ningxia, and Tianjin have conducted unannounced unannounced visits to 44 companies and found that 37 companies have environmental violations to varying degrees. And in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, supervised local governments and relevant departments to deal with illegal enterprises and related persons in accordance with the law, banned 12 “15 small” enterprises, imposed 23 production cuts, restricted production, and ordered corrections and recovery of sewage. There are two fees, handling more than 30 responsible persons.
The person in charge of the Environmental Emergency and Accident Investigation Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration stated that the six typical cases of environmental violations focused on the serious problems existing in the environmental protection in some areas of China. At the same time, it can be seen from these cases that some new environmental violations have emerged. Situation, new issues.
First, large-scale enterprises lack sense of social responsibility, and at the expense of the environment, pursuing maximization of economic benefits. Ningxia Meili Paper Group Corporation is a listed company. Wuhan Chenming Paper is also a listed company. Its profits and taxes are listed in the top 10 in Wuhan. The two companies are large in size and profitable. They are fully capable and capable of achieving emission standards for pollutants. Enterprises can ignore pollution control when expanding production scale, and pollution control facilities cannot match production facilities. The two companies even Economic interests do not care about the physical health of the people, stealing and stealing, illegal discharge of pollutants, and polluting the environment.
Second, there are obvious loopholes in the environmental management of construction projects. After the completion of the “one control and double compliance” work in 2000, on the one hand, a considerable number of companies blindly expanded their production scale, but they could not simultaneously build pollution control facilities. Trial production did not become a long-term pilot production, and the “three simultaneous” system was not implemented. Illegal sewage, the old project has become a new source of pollution, resulting in new environmental pollution problems; on the other hand, some places attract investment, new enterprises engage in political performance projects, do not seriously implement the environmental impact assessment system, the major projects into small projects for approval, the environment Lax management led to new projects becoming old sources of pollution.
Third, the “15-year-old” enterprise rebound phenomenon still exists and is even more subtle. Some enterprises use backward production processes and equipment in large-scale production processes. The lead smelting workshops of several electrolytic lead manufacturers in Baoding use the smelting pot smelting lead smelting processes and equipment that have been explicitly stipulated by the country before the end of 1999; In some areas, small enterprises are simply merged in structural adjustment. The level of technology and technology have not been improved, and the level of pollution control has not improved. Instead, pollution discharge has been reduced to centralized discharge. Although some of the facilities for the centralized treatment of pollutants were built, technical and management measures were not in place, and centralized treatment became a centralized and illegal discharge of pollutants.
At the same time, it should not be overlooked that some grass-roots governments have a phenomenon of administrative inaction. Environmental protection work is hung on the paper and some places have obvious local protectionism tendencies. They seek short-term economic development and leadership. The internal political achievements do not support or even limit environmental supervision, so that local or regional environmental pollution problems cannot be solved in a timely manner.
At present, the “clean-up and rectification of unscrupulous enterprises and safeguarding public health and environmental protection actions” is being further launched nationwide. Up to now, there have been production and construction in 17 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and Xinjiang, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Hunan, Hainan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Qinghai, and Ningxia. The Corps reported to the State Environmental Protection Administration about the specific implementation plan and work briefing.
According to reports, as the new climax of the important thinking of the “Three Represents” arises throughout the country, the State Environmental Protection Administration will implement the “Cleanup and Rectification of Unlawful Polluting Enterprises and Safeguard the Health of the People” as the implementation of the important thinking of the “Three Represents”. Specific measures should be taken in a timely manner to thoroughly investigate environmental violations affecting the health of the people and affecting the overall economic development. With the continuous deepening of the inventory operation, the State Environmental Protection Administration will regularly publish relevant information and report typical environmental violations.
