"In the first half of this year, a total of 47,800 project environmental assessments were approved nationwide, involving total investment of more than 8.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 28.9%year -on -year." At the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on July 21, the environment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment Liu Zhiquan, the director of the Department of Evaluation and Emissions Management, said that the green channels for projects that meet the requirements of ecological environmental protection are opened, that is, the report is accepted and the assessment is transferred to accelerate the approval on the basis of strictly observing the bottom line of ecological environmental protection.

Innovate the environment for environmental approval to do a good job of environmental assessment guarantee for major projects

At the end of May, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued and implemented the "Notice on Doing a Better Investment Project EIA Work" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), and proposed a series of service measures and innovation measures, requiring ecological environment departments at all levels EIA guarantee.

After reading the "Notice", the reporter found that the document put forward new measures for environmental assessment approval in the pilot of reform. For example, the "Notice" proposes that the level roads, urban roads, domestic garbage transfer stations, sewage treatment plants and other projects for the preparation of environmental impact report forms are located at the same municipal or county -level administrative district and the project types are the same. EIA approval.

"This' bundle 'is mainly aimed at a type of construction projects with homogeneity and correlation. It can be" beaten' by the construction unit, and the same type of construction projects can be compiled by an environmental assessment document and submitted to the approval; 'Play', organize the evaluation and review of the environmental assessment documents of the same type of construction projects, thereby improving the efficiency of the approval of the EIA. "

The "Notice" also requires the planning and project environmental assessment coordinated advancement and crop review and approval. "According to the work practice in recent years, the construction of infrastructure such as urban rail transit and other infrastructure has been promoted rapidly, and planning preparation and project establishment are often promoted." The person in charge said that for this, the "Notice" proposed that it is not involved in the prohibited development area. 2. Urban rail transit planning and projects with simple environmental impacts. The planning environmental assessment review can be promoted with the project environmental assessment approval and stubble. In this way, while playing an important role in the environmental assessment optimization planning plan, project line selection and protection measures, it will save time to save time.

The environmental assessment work is professional. In order to help the construction unit understand the environmental assessment requirements, the "Notice" also proposes the innovative service measures of "EIA approval service list". Through the "point -to -point" service method What kind of environmental assessment and relevant policies that should be paid attention to when doing environmental assessment are in your minds, which not only fulfill his obligations in accordance with the law, but also does not take detours.

How to operate the "EIA approval service list"? In response, the above -mentioned person in charge responded that the "EIA approval service form" was provided by the EIA approval department to major investment project construction units, which stated that the contact information, and service measures of the approval and evaluation department. For projects that need to prepare the environmental impact report (table), the approval department and the evaluation department to communicate with the construction unit and the environmental assessment unit, understand the progress and existing problems of the preparation of the environmental assessment documents, coordinate and answer business questions, inform the approval requirements and conditions in advance Guide construction units and environmental assessment compilation units to improve the quality of environmental assessment documents. For those who need to fill in the environmental impact registration form, guide the construction unit to complete the online filing online before completion. Those who do not need to carry out environmental assessment for the law according to law, clearly inform the construction unit.

Local active actions to form characteristic practices

The "Notice" has been issued for more than a month. What is the current implementation?

"Since June, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has approved 16 major project environmental assessment documents such as water conservancy, transportation, and coal of coal mines such as Shanghai to Hefei section, Haizan coal mines, etc., involving a total investment of more than 380 billion yuan "Liu Zhiquan said, among them, three major water conservancy projects including the recent South -to -North Water Diversion Middle Line introduced by the South -to -North Water Diversion Middle Line. Create conditions for the project.

It is worth noting that the local level is active at the local level, and many results have achieved a lot of results: Hebei Province has launched a "EIA service 100 -day tackling" and set up 87 on -site visits to the district and counties to help solve the problem; Chongqing relies on the "three lines and one order". (Ecological protection red line, environmental quality bottom line, resource utilization and ecological environment access list) Ecological environment partition controls the big data platform to provide enterprises with the project selection of the site selection of the ecological environment to avoid taking detours; Taizhou City and other places in Zhejiang Province have carried out binding approval for small and micro enterprise projects engaged in automotive accessories processing and mechanical processing in industrial parks. Only one report was compiled in multiple projects to conduct approval to save time and cost for enterprises.

"The Ministry of Ecology and Environment also dispatched the progress of the environmental assessment of relevant plans and key projects in various places, followed up with the progress and effectiveness of the environmental assessment and approval of major local investment projects, summarized a number of local characteristics and typical cases, and promoted . "Liu Zhiquan said.

Strictly adhere to the bottom line of the ecological environment to ensure the quality of environmental assessment approval

With the central government's policy of stable economy, a large number of projects are expected to be launched this year. How to keep the "bottom line" while ensuring the smooth development of major projects? Liu Zhiquan introduced that on the "bottom line", it mainly strictly controls from four aspects: First, strictly observe the legal bottom line. Specifically, it is the project type and its site selection, layout, scale, etc. that meet the requirements of ecological environmental protection laws and regulations and legal planning, and avoid the "flaws" of touching the bottom line of the law.

The second is to strictly adhere to the bottom line of the ecological environment. In the EIA, the construction project is strictly required to take effective pollution prevention measures to ensure that the pollutants meet the standards of the standard. If the project is located in areas of the environmental quality, the measures must meet the regional environmental quality improvement goals management requirements; The necessary ecological protection measures meet the requirements of the "three -line and one order" ecological environment partition management and control requirements, and avoid significant adverse effects on the structure and functions of the relevant regional ecosystems.

The third is to strictly adhere to the bottom line of environmental risks. Strictly review the content of environmental risk evaluations, avoid problems such as leaks of major risk sources or environmental protection goals, and environmental risk prevention and control measures do not meet the requirements.

The fourth is to maintain the bottom line of public rights and interests. Adhere to the people -centered development concept, guide the construction unit in accordance with laws and regulations to do a good job of environmental impact evaluation of public participation, and protect the public's right to environmental protection, the right to participate, express the right to express and supervise. For environmental protection goals such as residents' points around the construction project, the impact of the project construction and production operation of the project should be focused on it. For the most stringent stringent stringent waste gas, noise, sewage, and hazardous waste that may directly affect the public, it is required to take the most stringent. Control measures and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the public.

Liu Zhiquan said that in terms of strengthening the supervision of the EIA: First, the implementation of the "Environmental Assessment and Sewage License Supervision Action Plan (2021-2023)", conduct supervision and inspection of the implementation of the environmental assessment requirements of major investment projects, urge the construction units to implement ecological environmental protection The main responsibility is to ensure that the ecological environmental protection facilities and measures approved by the EIA are in place. The second is to strengthen the "three simultaneous" law enforcement of major investment projects, compact the local ecological environmental departments' territorial supervision responsibilities, and investigate and deal with illegal acts that violate the "three simultaneous" and independent acceptance requirements in accordance with the law. The third is to increase the investigation and punishment of illegal behavior of "unpaid first", and incorporate the investigation and punishment of the "unbuttered first -first -first -fore -first -fore -in -in -first" illegal acts into the pollution prevention and control battle to strengthen supervision and inspection content, and incorporate the prominent places and enterprises in the central ecological environmental protection inspection.
