China News Service, May 12 (Xinhua) According to the WeChat public account of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Central First Environmental Protection Inspectorate Group reported back to Shanghai on the status of the inspection. The inspector pointed out that in recent years in Shanghai, with the substantial increase in the amount of sewage received by the pipe, the situation of sewage overflow and direct drainage has become increasingly prominent. As of July 2019, the service area of Shanghai's storage facilities is less than 20%, and only pumping stations can be used to discharge the river, exacerbating river pollution.
Inspectors believe that in response to the "urban disease" and the increasingly tight land population environment, Shanghai adheres to the protection and improvement of the ecological environment, accelerates structural adjustment, and economic transformation; promotes environmental protection and economic and social development as a whole, and continues to increase industrial benefits At the same time, achieve a significant reduction in pollution emissions; take the lead in promulgating domestic garbage management regulations at the provincial level nationwide, and comprehensively start the tough battle of garbage classification; closely around the Yangtze River Delta integration national strategy, organize the formulation of the "Three-Year Delta Regional Integration Development Three-year Action" The Plan (2018-2020) "regards ecological and environmental protection as a key cooperation project.
As of December 2019, 1,653 cases reported by the inspection team had been settled, of which 1433 were ordered to be rectified; 714 cases were filed for punishment and a fine of 75.7 million yuan; 1 case was investigated, 6 people were detained, and 321 people were interviewed. Hold 10 people accountable.
The inspector pointed out that Shanghai's ecological environmental protection work has achieved remarkable results, but there are still gaps and shortcomings.
Some localities and departments are not fully implemented
Some departments have deviations in their guiding ideology, thinking that "one more thing is worse than one less"; some departments have a fear of hardships and difficulties in the process of law enforcement, and dare not move hard, sometimes even "open your eyes, close your eyes", choose Sexual law enforcement imposes penalties. The municipal water affairs department has a loose law enforcement. Since 2018, the handling of 465 cases filed for punishment did not comply with the relevant provisions of the "People's Republic of China Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law", which led to the long-term problem of excessive management of enterprises pointed out by the first round of environmental protection inspectors. Since 2018, Shanghai has discovered a total of 67 illegal violations of the emissions of fuel oil boiler exhausts. Actually, only 3 were punished, and the penalty rate was less than 5%. The weak enforcement of the law and the strict punishment by the Shanghai Maritime Affairs Department have led to the widespread phenomenon of exceeding the standard of marine oil products.
Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. Changxing Base large-scale open-air paint, did not take pollution prevention measures, affecting the surrounding environment, Shanghai and Chongming District two levels of ecological environment departments did not punish them in accordance with the law, resulting in long-term violations presence.
Some localities and departments are not effective in implementing the requirements of ecological environment protection, "responsibility for soil conservation, responsibility for soil conservation, division of labor, and joint efforts". As the leading department for cracking down on black gas stations, the Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has not organized the investigation and remediation of black gas stations. Even some reports involving black gas stations are not organized by the department for reasons other than the responsibility of the department. Relevant departments will not be notified for investigation and punishment. The Municipal Economic and Informatization Committee will report to the market supervision department or district-level industry and informatization department and report back to the market supervision department or district-level industry and informatization department. The Municipal Eco-Environmental Bureau has not carried out relevant investigation and rectification work on the petrol station set up by the logistics company. Only one day after the inspectors were stationed, the inspection team organized the investigation and found 21 black fueling stations, 9 of which had unqualified oil quality and the highest sulfur content was 648 mg / kg, which was 63.8 times higher than the national VI standard.
In the clean-up and rectification of illegal and illegal projects, some places are not meticulous. The illegal and illegal projects in Jiading, Songjiang, Chongming and other areas have been poorly cleaned up and rectified, and environmental pollution is obvious. The inspection team spot-checked five small and medium-sized enterprises in Anting Town, Jiading District, and three of them had environmental violations. There are 13 "factory-in-factory, garden-in-park" along Rongle East Road and Dongxing Road in Songjiang District, gathering a large number of illegal and illegal projects. Although the two sorting sites of Shanghai Xinfengxiang Waste Material Disposal Co., Ltd. in Chongming District have passed the filing, the site inspectors found that the sewage discharge problem of the site is prominent; the other two sorting sites are close to the Yangtze River. Without any sewage treatment facilities, the sewage flows horizontally and the waste liquid is everywhere, causing serious pollution.
There is still a gap in the first round of rectification
Although the first round of central environmental protection supervision and rectification in Shanghai has achieved significant results, there are still gaps in the implementation of work in some localities and departments, and there is a phenomenon of perfunctory rectification and surface rectification.
In December 2018, the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau reported that a total of 27 sewage treatment plants in Shidongkou and all suburban cities and towns had completed the upgrade and upgrade as scheduled. However, the inspector found that the municipal water affairs bureau and the original municipal environmental protection bureau had lowered their requirements. When the 27 wastewater treatment plants checked and monitored and found that 7 effluents exceeded the standard, they still determined that all the rectification tasks had been completed. In January 2019, the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau reported that Zhuyuan No. 1 Sewage Treatment Plant had completed the upgrading and upgrading project, and the effluent water quality reached the standard. However, in February 2019, the plant still exceeded the standard. The actual transformation project was only completed by 50%. The renovation of the pool is still under construction.
In Jiading District, the work of investigating heavy metal companies was not in place. The inspection team randomly checked three electroplating companies. They all had problems such as unapproved pre-construction and sewage treatment facility installation beyond pipes. Among them, Shanghai Hope Metal Coating Co., Ltd. has a nickel-containing wastewater treatment facility with a private overtaking pipe; Shanghai Lianhua Metal Co., Ltd. uses the hexavalent chromium passivation process that was officially phased out in Shanghai in 2014, and the site pollution problem is serious.
The 13 informal garbage dumping sites that were simply closed during the 12th Five-Year Plan period were not included in the scope of investigation and rectification in accordance with the relevant national deployment. Due to historical problems, Jinshan District has not included the Xinjiang Village landfill into the remediation list. The survey results show that the landfill soil has been contaminated, and the content of heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other pollutants is obviously high. . Most areas of the Caojing Town Domestic Waste Landfill in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park have not been impermeable, and the leachate collection facility has been damaged. The local simple closure of the site will leave it alone.
The problem of sewage discharge in some areas is outstanding
The inspector found that in recent years, with the substantial increase in the amount of sewage held by the pipe, the situation of sewage overflow and direct drainage has become increasingly prominent. The Municipal Water Affairs Bureau did not pay enough attention to the problem of insufficient sewage treatment capacity, and the construction of sewage treatment capacity was generally slow. The progress of many projects such as the expansion of the Taihe Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Anting Wastewater Treatment Plant that were supposed to be built during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period was seriously lagging behind . In 2018, the city's sewage treatment plant's sewage overflow volume reached 580,000 tons / day, an increase of 45% from the first inspection in 2016.
In some regions, the pipe network is not divided into rain and pollution, and the connection is misconnected. The problem of direct sewage discharge in the flood season is serious. As of July 2019, the service area of the city's storage facilities is less than 20%, and only pumping stations can be used to discharge the river, intensifying river pollution. Since 2018, in the central urban area, 26 rivers have been renovated, and the concentration of 12 ammonia nitrogens has increased sharply. Jiading District did not work solidly in river regulation. In December 2017, Jiading District reported that the 246 rivers included in the renovation have been completely renovated and basically eliminated the black smell. However, this time the inspector found that the 17 river channel renovation projects such as Taojiabang and Jiejing were still not completed. Since January 2018, the water quality of 56 rivers has rebounded.
The inspector also found some other outstanding problems
Of the 553 terminals in the city that have issued port operation permits, 362 have not obtained relevant environmental protection procedures, and 204 of them have incomplete water pollution control facilities. The municipal transportation department and the ecological environment department have insufficient coordination in the port and terminal pollution prevention work, and the municipal transportation department has failed to implement the work, and failed to take the completion and acceptance of the port terminal pollution control facilities as a prerequisite in accordance with the requirements of the "Port Management Regulations"; There are management loopholes in the environmental department, and the terminal has not been included in the rectification of illegal and illegal projects.
From 2002 to 2012, Baosteel Group illegally used pits about 1 km away from the Yangtze River to store industrial solid waste and construction waste, with a storage volume of about 1.5 million tons. The monitoring data shows that there is a risk of pollution in the soil surrounding the construction site.
There are a total of 309 projects for the utilization of the coastline of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, 34% of which are illegal projects. The terminal of Shanghai Puming Concrete Products Co., Ltd. occupies the 50-meter Yangtze River coastline. The temporary coastline use license expired in August 2017. The Municipal Transportation Committee ordered the demolition of the terminal facilities before January 31, 2019, but it was not dismantled at the time of inspection. . The wharf has not obtained the relevant procedures for river construction and no supporting pollution control facilities, but the municipal water department has not included them in the clean-up and remediation scope of the 2018 Yangtze River mainstream shoreline utilization project.
The Yangtze River estuary is an endangered aquatic organism such as Chinese sturgeon and spawning grounds, feeding grounds and migratory passages for fishery resources such as anchovy, saury, etc. It is of great significance to protect the tidal flat wetlands of the Yangtze estuary. However, the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau (Municipal Oceanic Bureau) did not pay enough attention to the protection of the tidal flat wetlands in the Yangtze Estuary, and did not strictly control the development of tidal flats as required. Since 2013, the Shanghai Land Reserve Center has implemented nine tidal flat enclosure projects at the mouth of the Yangtze River, of which four projects have not obtained approval procedures for river-related construction projects, and illegal areas account for 73,300 mu of tidal flat.
The inspectors demanded that Shanghai should stick to its position, consolidate its achievements, and maintain the strategic determination of ecological and environmental protection. It should not be shaken, loosened, or open-ended. It is necessary to further strictly enforce the law, compact the responsibilities, pay close attention to the rectification of the inspectors, and speed up the restoration of the ecological protection of the Yangtze River. It is necessary to take serious accountability in accordance with regulations and disciplines, and to instruct the relevant departments to conduct further in-depth investigations, clarify responsibilities, and hold the accountable in accordance with relevant regulations. Those who need to carry out compensation for ecological environmental damage or need to file a public interest litigation shall be dealt with in accordance with relevant regulations.
The Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government shall, in accordance with the inspector's report, pay close attention to study and formulate rectification plans, and report to the Party Central Committee and the State Council within 30 working days. The rectification plan and the implementation of the rectification shall be disclosed to the society in accordance with relevant regulations.
The inspection team also sorted out the issues related to the investigation of the responsibility for the damage to the ecological environment, which has been handed over to the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government in accordance with the relevant procedures.
