Recently, Shaoxing City’s ecological environment law enforcement officers were divided into seven teams to conduct cross-enforcement operations in the Yuecheng District (Paojiang) area in spring to eliminate pollution. So far, a total of 172 law enforcement officers have been dispatched in this special operation, 56 companies have been inspected, 124 problems have been found, 11 companies have been put on file, and 44 companies have made rectifications.
During the operation, it was discovered that some printing and dyeing and chemical enterprises in the Paojiang area had problems such as weak awareness of solid waste management, low efficiency of environmental protection facilities, and irregular filling of wastewater, waste gas, and solid waste accounts. This issue uses cases to interpret the law to further strengthen corporate environmental awareness, standardize industry production behavior, and enhance the deterrent effect of special actions.
Suspected of abnormal operation of air pollution prevention and control facilities
Case 1
April 7, 2021 , law enforcement officers discovered clues to environmental violations based on law enforcement inspections. A total of eight setting machine exits in the No. 1 factory area of a printing and dyeing company in Shaoxing City have been installed with collection covers. After the exhaust gas is collected, all the exhaust gases are passed to the exhaust gas treatment facility of the No. 5 setting machine, but the treatment facility has not run. Suspected of improper operation of exhaust gas treatment facilities.
Case 2
On April 8, 2021, law enforcement officers raided a Shaoxing printing and dyeing factory located in Doumen Town, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City The company conducted an on-site inspection. At the time of the inspection, the company’s setting machine was in production and the exhaust gas treatment facilities supporting the exhaust gas of the setting machine were operating. However, the electrostatic adsorption device in the exhaust gas treatment facility was not running. The current and voltage of the electrostatic adsorption device showed 0, which was suspected of improper operation. Normally operate air pollution prevention and control facilities. Law enforcement officers opened a case and launched an investigation that day.
The behavior of the above parties violated Article 20 of the “Atmospheric Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China” “It is prohibited to secretly discharge, tamper with or falsify monitoring data for the purpose of evading on-site inspections” Temporarily suspending production, opening emergency emission channels in non-emergency situations, and abnormally operating air pollution prevention and control facilities to emit air pollutants to avoid supervision.”
According to the “Atmospheric Pollution of the People’s Republic of China” Item 3 of Article 99 of the Prevention and Control Law “Anyone who emits air pollutants by evading supervision shall be ordered by the ecological and environmental administrative department of the people’s government at or above the county level to make corrections or restrict production or suspend production for rectification, and shall be fined not less than RMB 100,000 and RMB 1 million. A fine of not more than RMB 10,000 shall be imposed; if the circumstances are serious, the business shall be ordered to suspend business or close down upon approval by the people’s government with the power to approve.”
The enforcement action to strictly investigate factory pollution emissions has begun!
Recently, in response to the environmental pollution problem in the Yuecheng area of Shaoxing City, the investigation has come to an end, and the spring pollution cleanup cross-enforcement operation has been launched for a period of one month.
In order to fully implement the “one-certificate” management of pollution discharge permits and strictly implement the provincial and municipal 100-day special law enforcement actions, this law enforcement inspection is combined with a comprehensive investigation of industrial solid waste, as well as dangerous The special waste control action aims to further implement the central ecological and environmental protection inspection and rectification measures for problems exposed in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, promote the implementation of the environmental pollution problem detection mechanism to be effective, comprehensively investigate and eliminate hidden dangers of environmental pollution problems, and focus on investigating and punishing illegal environmental pollution behaviors.
At the mobilization meeting held that morning, the municipal law enforcement team and the Soil Department explained the key points of law enforcement inspections, especially those involving the field of solid waste. In the field of solid waste (hazardous waste), focus on inspecting these enterprises – waste production units, intermediary units, collection units, utilization and disposal units, focusing on five links – waste source, storage, transportation, disposal and utilization.
At the same time, the meeting emphasized that attention should be paid to combining it with the publicity and implementation of the new “Solid Waste Law”, combining it with the large-scale inspections of each branch, and combining it with the guidance and standards of service enterprises, so as to achieve Standardization of law enforcement and monitoring enables precise strikes and quick resolution.
The personnel involved in law enforcement are drawn from the law enforcement teams of various districts, counties (cities), and are divided into 7 inspection teams to carry out inspections. Through large-scale inspections and large-scale rectification, a high-pressure situation has been formed to deter environmental pollution behaviors, and warning education can be done by drawing inferences from one example to promote the construction of “Beautiful Shaoxing” and “Zero Waste City”.
Cross-cut enforcement priorities
●Involving waste gas aspects
The first is to check the waste gas and odor conditions near the factory area and factory boundaries; the second is to check the collection of process waste gas generation points in the workshop; the third is to check the waste gas pretreatment and terminal treatment processes, facility operations and accounts Record the situation; fourth, check the exhaust outlet settings, emission conditions and online monitoring data, and carry out exhaust gas law enforcement monitoring for companies with complaints.
●In terms of wastewater
First, check the surrounding rivers and ditches , manholes and other points, whether there is any pollutionTraces of water discharge; the second is to check the wastewater discharge outlet settings, discharge conditions, and online monitoring data; the third is to check the wastewater treatment situation, including the treatment process, facility and equipment operation, power consumption, chemical use, ledger establishment, etc. Companies with complaints will carry out wastewater law enforcement monitoring.
●In terms of solid (hazardous) waste
The first is to check Is there any solid waste piled or landfilled around the factory boundary? The second is to check whether the management of hazardous waste is standardized, whether the ledger records are complete, whether they are classified and managed and disposed of, and whether there is a problem of hazardous waste mixed with general solid waste. The third is to check the storage Whether the site has taken three prevention measures, whether warning signs are set up in accordance with regulations, whether hazardous waste packaging is sealed and stored, and whether hazardous waste labels are set; fourth, verify the status of reported solid waste and hazardous waste transfers and the reception and disposal status of disposal units, and verify the transfer of hazardous wastes Whether the receipt is complete, and whether the actual transfer amount is consistent with the ledger record; fifth, cooperate with the inspection of hazardous waste remediation, strengthen the crackdown on hazardous waste environmental violations, and effectively curb hazardous waste environmental violations.
●In terms of management system implementation
First, verify whether the pollution discharge permit, whether the original records of pollutant monitoring are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the emission permit, whether the environmental management requirements stipulated in the emission permit are implemented, whether self-monitoring is carried out as required and disclosed in a timely manner; the second is to verify the relevant content of the environmental impact assessment document; the third is to verify The enterprise’s acceptance approval documents, acceptance monitoring reports, supervision reports, etc., as well as the implementation of environmental protection approval and acceptance requirements; the fourth is to verify the emergency plan for environmental emergencies and whether environmental emergency drills and training are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the plan. </p
