The notice mentioned that the construction of high-standard farmland is a key measure to ensure national food security. At the critical period of spring farmland construction, the complicated and severe epidemic situation has affected the construction of high-standard farmland in different places and challenges. Actively responding to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on farmland construction, while strictly implementing regionally differentiated epidemic prevention and control measures, and accelerating the construction of high-standard farmland, we hereby notify the relevant issues as follows:

The first is the zoning and classification to promote the resumption of high-standard farmland projects under construction. All localities should do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, seize the current important construction window period, and comprehensively promote the resumption of projects under construction in areas where the weather conditions are suitable for construction. Strengthen classification guidance, and actively take measures such as "through train" and "point-to-point" protection, implement "special permits" for transport vehicles, and special shift scheduling systems for areas where construction materials are supplied and transportation is difficult to ensure that construction machinery, equipment, and materials enter the site on time ; For villages that are closed to entry areas, communication and coordination with village groups and peasants should be strengthened to ensure the smooth arrival of personnel; in areas with early spring sowing, the project construction organization should be optimized in a targeted manner, and the use of sub-standard sections and sub-processes should be flexible Parallel construction and other methods give priority to land construction, field roads, and water conservancy projects, which may affect spring agricultural production.

The second is to actively promote the start of new high-standard farmland projects. Speed ​​up the preliminary design of the project. Make full use of telephone and Internet to solicit opinions from village collectives and farmers, and speed up the determination of the project implementation area and scope. Flexible organization of preliminary design review and approval. The design documents are delivered by express delivery, online transmission, etc., and the use of the network to carry out preliminary design reports, discussions, defenses, and review of the project by using "invisible" and "non-contact" methods to accelerate project review and approval. Quickly carry out project bidding. Prepare for the project in advance.

The third is to further strengthen the management of farmland construction projects. In order to catch up with the construction period, localities should clarify the project resumption time, timing arrangement and key nodes, invert the project construction period, optimize the construction organization, seize the construction opportunity, speed up the construction progress, and make up for the construction period loss. To ensure the quality of the project, all localities shall urge construction, supervision and other participating units to strictly follow the construction regulations, strictly prohibit illegal operations and risky operations, and resolutely prevent the phenomenon of cutting corners, cutting materials, unsupported facilities, substandard facilities, and unavailability, and actively resolve the field. Infrastructure "last mile" issue. Strengthen supervision and inspection. Do a good job in funding protection. Strengthen coordination and cooperation, make full use of the role of the joint epidemic prevention and control mechanism, correct improper practices such as broken circuit boards and “always encourage return”, and must not intercept construction personnel, construction vehicles and material transportation without authorization to create convenient conditions for project implementation.

The notification requires that all localities strictly implement the requirements for tiered prevention and control of the epidemic area in their territories, strengthen communication and coordination with the epidemic prevention and control department, and implement the responsibility for epidemic prevention and control. It is necessary to implement the project epidemic prevention responsibility system, supervise and urge construction, supervision and other participating units to have adequate supplies of epidemic prevention and control materials, implement the control requirements for returnees returning to work, strengthen publicity and education for returnees, and help returnees to strengthen their own protection; reasonable Arrange the size of the work team, do a good job of disinfection and ventilation of canteens, dormitories, and construction sheds, reduce personnel gathering as much as possible, and resolutely prevent the risk of epidemics. The supervision unit shall do a good job in the epidemic prevention and control inspections in the project area, report any problems in a timely manner, and do a good job of isolation and prevention in accordance with regulations.
