According to the Xinhua News Agency, the General Office of the State Council recently issued the "Implementation Plan for the Control of Pollutant Discharge Permit System", which proposes a standardized and orderly issuance of pollutant discharge permits, and strictly implements the environmental protection responsibilities of enterprises and institutions. Zhao Yingmin, vice minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, accepted an interview with reporters yesterday on the relevant content of the plan.
Q: What are the key issues to be solved in the implementation plan?
Answer: Through reforming the pollutant discharge permit system, one is to establish a streamlined, efficient, and smoothly connected stationary source environmental management system.
The second is to promote the implementation of the main responsibility of enterprises and institutions for pollution control, uniformly regulate and restrict the discharge of various pollutants such as air and water by enterprises and institutions, implement "one-certificate" management, and require companies to hold certificates to discharge pollutants and carry out self-monitoring , Establish a ledger, regular reports and information disclosure, increase the penalties for unlicensed or illegal pollutant discharge, and realize the transformation of enterprises from "I want to abide by the law" to "I want to abide by the law."
The third is to standardize supervision and law enforcement and improve the level of refined environmental management. Promote "one enterprise, one license" and comprehensive permits, and focus environmental law enforcement inspections on the supervision of pollution discharge permits.
Q: How do enterprises and institutions implement their environmental protection responsibilities through pollutant discharge permits?
Answer: The pollution discharge permit will become the only administrative license for the discharge of pollution during the production and operation of enterprises and institutions and the main legal document to accept the supervision of the environmental protection department. It can be said that the legal requirements for the discharge of water and air pollutants by enterprises and institutions are all specified in the pollution discharge permit.
First, the enterprise must discharge sewage according to the certificate. The second is to implement self-monitoring and regular reporting. The third is to disclose pollutant emission data to the public and be responsible for the authenticity of the data.
Q: How can the issuance of pollution permits be standardized and orderly?
Answer: One is to clarify the scope of pollution discharge permit management.
Second, the implementation steps are divided into industries and phased promotion. At the end of 2016, it was the first to promote the reform of pollution permits in the thermal power and paper industries. At the same time, the steel and cement industries were launched in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei pilot area, and the petrochemical industry was launched in Hainan to lay the foundation for national implementation. In 2017, pollutant discharge permits will be issued to enterprises in key industries identified in the Ten Atmosphere and Water Ten. By 2020, the issuance of pollutant discharge permits for various industries will be basically completed.
The third is to reflect national overall planning and local promotion in the form of organization.
