Strictly prevent environmental risks and improve regulatory efficiency
The Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government insist on taking the environmental management of solid waste and chemicals as an important part of the construction of beautiful Shandong. The main leaders have repeatedly issued special instructions on hazardous waste supervision,"waste-free city" construction, and new pollutant management.
Sun Yuheng, Secretary of the Party Branch of the Solid Waste Department of the Department of Ecology and Environment of Shandong Province and a third-level researcher, told reporters: "Shandong Province continues to strengthen the prevention of hazardous waste risks and insists on adopting means such as full coverage warning education, regular investigation and control, and cracking down on illegal and criminal activities to strictly prevent various environmental risks. In 2023, the "Ten Thousand Enterprises Warning" campaign will cover more than 34,000 enterprises and more than 2.12 million people across the province, and all medical waste will be disposed of in a timely and standardized manner."
In order to improve the efficiency of supervision, Shandong Province highlights daily supervision and spot checks and evaluations, and carries out standardized environmental management assessments of hazardous wastes. In 2023, the assessment results of 16 cities in the province will all be A; implement hierarchical and classified dynamic management and control of hazardous wastes, and 2998 enterprises in the province will be included in the key management and control list; In-depth promotion of centralized collection, storage and transfer pilot projects, and 337 hazardous waste collection units in the province collected 561,900 tons of hazardous waste; The management procedures for hazardous waste identification have been improved. A total of 529 hazardous waste identification reports have been disclosed across the province, and the quality of identification has been continuously improved.
Shandong Province is also exploring and promoting pilot sharing of hazardous waste utilization and disposal facilities within large group enterprises to revitalize facility resources, reduce disposal costs, and reduce environmental risks.
Highlight two main lines and grasp key tasks
Shandong Province has orderly promoted the construction of "waste-free cities" across the region, and established a provincial special group for the construction of "waste-free cities" headed by the deputy governor in charge. 16 cities have established a deliberative and coordinating body for the construction of "waste-free cities", and established a work pattern and promotion system for the construction of "waste-free cities" in which the party committee and government are responsible and departments are jointly managed. The "Shandong Province 2023" Waste-Free City "Construction Work Promotion Plan" was issued and implemented, and 75 annual key tasks were identified and completed. Launch the construction of a "waste-free city" information platform to promote the full-process monitoring and information-based traceability of solid waste generation, collection, storage, transfer, utilization and disposal, and promote the improvement and upgrading of the construction of "waste-free cities".
After review and approval by the executive meeting of the Shandong Province Government, the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the province's first new pollutant control work plan and established a coordination working mechanism involving 16 departments and units.
Li Jian, Secretary and Director of the Party Branch of the Solid Waste and Hazardous Chemicals Pollution Prevention Center of Shandong Province, told reporters: "Shandong Province has strengthened key management and control, carried out high-quality statistical surveys on the province's first round of chemical substance environmental information, and comprehensively found out the environmental information base of chemical substance production, use, and emission in more than 7200 enterprises. Cities have overcome problems such as tight time, heavy tasks, and high requirements, coordinated personnel and funds, and completed the mapping work with high quality."
In order to strengthen the supervision of heavy metals and tailings ponds, coordinate the actual conditions of each city, and promote differentiated emission reduction of heavy metal pollution, a total of 42 emission reduction projects have been implemented since the "14th Five-Year Plan", reducing heavy metal pollutant emissions by 2.9%, exceeding the phased goals and tasks set by Shandong Province. Focus on enterprises in key industries and dynamically investigate and manage environmental problems involving heavy metal enterprises and Kuangqu. Establish a system for dynamic adjustment of tailings pond environmental supervision lists and classified and hierarchical supervision lists, and implement a normalized work mechanism for investigation and rectification of tailings pond environmental risks.
Shandong Province launched the second round of "cleanup operations" in the Yellow River Basin, established "two lists" of suspected remote sensing problems and complaints and reports, and implemented a three-level joint investigation and rectification work system of provinces, cities and counties. Make full use of high-tech means such as satellite remote sensing, drones, and GIS to accurately investigate and rectify suspected historical solid waste sites in the Yellow River Basin and eliminate the risk of solid waste polluting the environment in the Yellow River Basin.
Clarify key tasks and serve the overall development situation
Guan Yanming pointed out at the meeting that the ideas and main goals of the province's solid waste and chemical management work this year are to take the construction of "waste-free cities" and the management of new pollutants across the region as the guide, and to prevent "one waste, one product, one warehouse and one heavy" Ecological and environmental risks, we must strictly and practically investigate and rectify hidden dangers, resolutely adhere to the bottom line of environmental risks, better leverage the synergistic effects of "waste-free cities" construction and new pollutant management, pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and proactively serve the province's green, low-carbon and high-quality development. We must focus on four key tasks, namely, focusing on maintaining the bottom line of environmental risks of hazardous wastes, focusing on promoting the high-quality construction of "waste-free cities" across the region, focusing on promoting the comprehensive advancement of new pollutant management, and focusing on serving green, low-carbon and high-quality development.
The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to focus on the core task of "risk prevention", strictly prevent waste-related environmental risks, expand and optimize the supervision model of "all employees warning + comprehensive rectification + crackdown action", keep a close eye on weak links, and carry out a new round of "all employees of enterprises" warning education, hazardous waste landfills and special rectification of self-use and disposal activities, and always maintain a high-pressure posture to create a safe environment for high-quality development.
Focusing on "controlling new additions and optimizing existing stocks", efforts will be made to promote the safe and high-quality development of the hazardous waste utilization and disposal industry. Make greater efforts accurately, scientifically and in accordance with the law to further improve the hazardous waste environmental supervision system. Adhere to digital empowerment, improve the solid waste management information system, create four major platforms for special solid waste management, comprehensive management and control, smart services, and data centers, complete the construction of a "waste-free city" information platform, and open up solid waste management information in various fields and relevant departments. Data, incorporate all types of solid waste into informatization supervision, and explore the establishment of a "waste-free" dynamic evaluation indicator system that is in line with the province's actual conditions.
The meeting emphasized the need to improve the management mechanism for new pollutants, continue to promote compliance work, establish a normalized mechanism for statistical investigation of detailed environmental information on chemical substances, improve the province's chemical substance monitoring and environmental risk assessment capabilities, and conduct chemical substances included in the Excellent Evaluation Plan. Encrypted monitoring and environmental risk assessment.
It is necessary to further promote the emission reduction of heavy metal pollution, implement environmental supervision of tailings ponds, carry out a new round of "waste cleanup actions" in the Yellow River Basin, implement the reform requirements of the national waste electrical and electronic product treatment subsidy policy, introduce development plans and specific subsidy measures, and support services.
