The Minister of Ecology and Environment went to Tangshan to make an unannounced visit and found that four steel companies held a group of fraud
Four steel companies in Tangshan City, Hebei Province were under heavy production during the emergency response to heavy pollution. The problem of falsification of production records was common, and some even reported to each other and deleted production records in response to inspections.
This is what Huang Runqiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, discovered when inspecting four enterprises in Tangshan on March 11.
"Enterprises can't just look at benefits and leave pollution to the local people." Huang Runqiu said that there is zero tolerance for environmental violations, especially fraud.
At present, relevant clues have been transferred to the local public security department.
The heavily polluted weather in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has lasted for several days.
According to the forecast of China Environmental Monitoring Station, from March 9th to 14th, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will be dominated by unfavorable weather conditions with static and high humidity, which is likely to cause the accumulation and transformation of pollutants.
At the same time, the industrial structure of high pollution, high emissions, and high energy consumption in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has not fundamentally changed. Pollutant emissions are at a high level, and it is prone to pollution processes when encountering unfavorable weather conditions.
Tangshan City is an important industrial town with concentrated steel production capacity and heavy pressure on air pollution control.
On the morning of March 11, Huang Runqiu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, who had just concluded the two sessions, came to Tangshan City and went straight to the scene without saying hello.
Go to HBIS Tangsteel Stainless Steel Company, Tangshan Jinma Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., Tangshan Chunxing Special Steel Co., Ltd. and Tangshan Donghua Iron and Steel Enterprise Group Co., Ltd. to inquire about the production situation of the enterprise, and carefully check the production account and production conditions of the enterprise , Online monitoring and other records, to understand the implementation of emergency emission reduction measures for enterprises in heavy pollution weather.
During the inspection period, Tangshan City has initiated a second-level emergency response to severely polluted weather, but the four companies all produced high load during the severely polluted weather emergency response, and did not implement the corresponding emission reduction requirements, and there were widespread production record fraud problems, and some even mutually affected each other. Ventilation and deletion of production records shall respond to inspections.
Huang Runqiu said that for environmental violations, especially fraudulent acts, we must resolutely investigate and deal with it in accordance with the law with a zero-tolerance attitude. Those suspected of crimes must be transferred to the public security organs, and relevant personnel must be held accountable in accordance with the law.
Huang Runqiu emphasized that iron and steel companies are major emitters and the main body responsible for air pollution control. They should not only look at benefits and leave pollution to the local people; they must raise environmental awareness, strictly implement emergency plans for heavy pollution weather, and do not take chances; they must go high. The road to quality development is to eliminate backward production capacity, accelerate transformation and upgrading, continuously improve the level of refined management, and build a modern enterprise.
Huang Runqiu pointed out that the current situation of air pollution prevention and control is still severe. It is necessary to take the opportunity to solve the problems exposed by inspections and draw inferences from one another to effectively promote the implementation of 100% of the emergency emission reduction measures for heavily polluted weather; it is necessary to establish a solid bottom line thinking and pay close attention to the emergency reduction of heavily polluted weather. To ensure the effectiveness of supervision and inspection, we must not be perfunctory; we must adhere to the problem-oriented approach, dare to act hard, strengthen law enforcement, severely crack down on atmospheric and environmental violations, and form a continuous high-pressure deterrence; we must strengthen capacity building and give full play to The role of professionals in ecological and environmental protection, make good use of online monitoring and other means to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement.
Huang Runqiu said that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will continue to increase assistance, focus on the needs of localities and enterprises, and promptly guide local governments to improve environmental management capabilities, enterprises to improve pollution control levels, and promote green development; to help localities find problems and focus on problem rectification, Effectively transmit the pressure to local party committees, governments and relevant departments to ensure the effective implementation of ecological and environmental protection responsibilities.
