Hebei Environmental Law Enforcement Focuses on Six Key Points
Apr. 27, 2021
In order to implement the "Ten Measures for the Comprehensive Treatment of Air Pollution in Hebei Province" and continue to fight the battle of air pollution prevention and control, the Hebei Provincial Atmospheric Office recently issued the "Hebei Province Atmospheric Environment Law Enforcement Work Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The "Plan" emphasizes law enforcement, standardized law enforcement, scientific and technological law enforcement, and civilized law enforcement, adheres to the "four combinations", focuses on six key points, refines and strengthens measures, focuses on rectification and implementation, and carries out all-round, full-chain law enforcement throughout the province The inspection provides a strong law enforcement guarantee for the continuous improvement of air quality in the whole province (Hebei Province, the same below).
Adhere to the four combinations, highlighting precision, standardization and scientific law enforcement
In order to further optimize supervision methods, improve law enforcement efficiency, and ensure that environmental law enforcement in the province is more accurate, scientific, powerful, and effective, the "Plan" focuses on four basic principles, namely, adhere to the combination of daily law enforcement and special actions, and adhere to key areas and key periods. Combination, adhere to the combination of assistance and guidance and punishment according to law, adhere to the combination of scientific and technological law enforcement and "grid-based" supervision, and put forward clear requirements for local environmental law enforcement in terms of law enforcement actions, law enforcement priorities, law enforcement methods and law enforcement methods.
The "Plan" pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen daily law enforcement, according to the characteristics of regional pollution sources and the distribution of key industries and enterprises, timely implement law enforcement inspection plans, and organize law enforcement forces around key periods to continue to carry out special law enforcement assistance actions. In view of the pollution characteristics in different regions and different periods, we must timely carry out regional anatomical law enforcement and help law enforcement in key periods to help investigate problems, clarify ideas, make up for shortcomings, and ensure that responsibilities are implemented. In the process of law enforcement, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the law enforcement command and dispatch system to achieve dynamic management that is accurate to people, enterprises, law enforcement agencies, and law enforcement tasks. It is necessary to make full use of scientific and technological means such as sub-meter electricity metering and online monitoring. Effectively play the role of grid-based environmental supervision, strengthen inspections, implement the second and third-level grid discovery and reporting and the first-level grid investigation and punishment responsibilities, to ensure that problems are discovered and dealt with in time, and effectively and accurately crack down on environmental violations.
At the same time, in order to ensure strict and standardized law enforcement, we resolutely put an end to “one size fits all”. The "Plan" emphasizes differentiated control and requires strict implementation of the "positive list" system. For enterprises and projects included in the positive list, we will make every effort to ensure normal production and construction, and insist on non-stop production, no production restrictions, less inspections, and less interruptions; for excessive emissions Environmental violations such as secret discharge, refusal to implement emergency emission reduction measures for heavily polluted weather, etc., are strictly investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law, and truly "nothing does not disturb" the law-abiding enterprises, and "the sword hangs high" against the illegal enterprises.
Focus on six key points and strengthen all-round law enforcement and supervision across the entire chain
The "Plan" focuses on highlighting atmospheric environmental issues, further clarifies the key points, and refines measures. It proposes to address key industries, enterprises, volatile organic compounds, construction and urban bare ground dust pollution, open-air incineration of straw and waste, and reburning of loose coal, and mines. The six aspects of dust, heavy diesel trucks and non-road mobile machinery have carried out all-round and full-chain law enforcement inspections one by one.
The "Plan" requires that a comprehensive inspection should be carried out on key industries and enterprises that have completed ultra-low emission transformations, and further strengthen the treatment capacity and operation level supervision of industrial kiln pollution control facilities in brick, ceramics, glass and other industries, and the quality of coal in front of large coal users. Monitoring and control. Concentrate on the implementation of various pollution control measures in enterprises to carry out all-round "physical" law enforcement inspections to ensure that enterprises achieve source substitution in place, complete accounting records, stable operation of pollution prevention facilities, and unorganized management and control in place. At the same time, strengthen law enforcement inspections of heavy diesel trucks and non-road mobile machinery, especially during periods of heavy pollution, to ensure that emission reduction measures are implemented in strict accordance with the requirements.
The "Plan" emphasizes that it is necessary to strictly follow the requirements of relevant laws and regulations to strictly inspect the implementation of dust suppression measures. If the control of dust is not in place and the data cannot truly reflect the control and emission of dust pollution, it will be severely punished in accordance with the law, and information on bad behaviors of the construction market entities shall be imposed according to law. It is included in the construction market credit management system in accordance with regulations, and if the circumstances are serious, it is included in the "blacklist." It is necessary to organize grid forces at all levels to continuously carry out inspections, discover in time, severely investigate and punish open-air incineration environmental violations, and investigate supervision responsibilities from fire points to ensure that responsibilities are implemented and the burning ban has achieved substantial results.
Pay close attention to rectification and improvement, deepen and improve the long-term working mechanism
In order to further strengthen problem rectification and ensure the effectiveness of law enforcement, the "Plan" clearly requires that all localities should take the discovery of problems, solve problems, and deepen the construction of long-term mechanisms as the starting point and end point. While strictly investigating and punishing problems in accordance with the law, improve the work system and make rectifications. Integrate with system establishment, problem finding and investigation responsibility, problem rectification and in-depth inspection, combine the rectification of specific and general problems, draw inferences from one another, improve the mechanism, and ensure that all problems of the same type are rectified in place.
In response to the discovery and rectification of problems, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment will organize special supervision and law enforcement in a timely manner. Through the verification of mobile law enforcement APP data and on-site random inspections, the investigation and rectification situation in various places will be reviewed, and the inspection will be perfunctory and the rectification will be implemented. For issues such as not being in place, the whole province will notify them to clarify the responsibilities, and urge all localities to hold relevant responsible units and persons accountable in accordance with the law.
