At the 28th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth National People’s Congress on the 27th, the decision on amending the Water Pollution Prevention Act was passed. Tong Weidong, deputy director of the National Law Office of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, and Bi Tao, director of the Department of Policy and Regulations of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, responded and interpreted the hot spots of the newly revised Water Pollution Prevention Act at a press conference held on that day.
River length system written for water pollution prevention law?
In December last year, the China Affairs Office and the State Council issued the opinion on comprehensively advancing the river extension system, and stipulated the guiding ideology, basic principles, work responsibilities, and organizational guarantees for advancing the river extension system.
Tong Weidong introduced that the river length system is an institutional innovation in the management of rivers and lakes, as well as a water environment governance system in China and an institutional innovation that ensures national water security. During the deliberation, the members of the Standing Committee, relevant localities, and the general public all proposed to write the river length system into the law and strengthen the responsibility of party and government leaders for water pollution control and water environment governance.
"Originally, we have made clear the responsibility for environmental governance through the law to relevant departments of the local government, the environmental protection department, the agricultural department, the water conservancy department, the housing construction department, etc. Since there are many fields and departments involved, how to form a joint force has always been water pollution. A difficult problem of governance.” He said that some localities have promoted the river extension system according to practice, requiring party and government leaders to be responsible for organizing and coordinating all forces to personally grasp the water environment, water ecological protection, water ecological restoration, and so on. It is good.
The newly revised law has correspondingly increased the content of the river extension system. Tong Weidong pointed out that during the implementation of the river-changing system, "the individual responsibility of party and government leaders will be included in their assessment and will have an impact on their promotion and punishment."
How to treat agricultural and rural water pollution?
Tong Weidong introduced that in terms of water pollution, pollution problems in China's agriculture and rural areas are more serious, and prevention and control of agricultural and rural water pollution is a weak link. Everyone generally reflected that it is necessary to strengthen the system construction in this area. The Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution this time also regulates pollution prevention and control in agriculture and rural areas from several aspects.
According to the law, the state supports the construction of rural sewage and garbage disposal facilities, and promotes the centralized treatment of rural sewage and garbage. Local people's governments at all levels shall make overall plans for the construction of rural sewage and garbage disposal facilities and ensure their normal operation.
He also said that China is a big country in agriculture, and the amount of pesticides and fertilizers used in the world account for a large proportion of the world's total, resulting in more serious agricultural non-point source pollution. The amended law clearly stated that the formulation of standards and standards for the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other products should meet the requirements for water environmental protection; the agricultural sector should guide agricultural producers to scientifically and reasonably apply chemical fertilizers, and promote soil testing, formula fertilization, and efficiency. Low-toxicity pesticides; It is clear that the county and township governments at the location where the free-living densely-populated areas are located collect and centralize the use of livestock and poultry manure wastewater. At the same time, it also explicitly prohibits the discharge of industrial wastewater and medical wastewater into farmland irrigation channels.
How to protect our drinking water safety?
In recent years, there have been several unexpected incidents in China's drinking water sources, which has caused everyone's concern.
Tong Weidong said that at present, governments at all levels attach great importance to drinking water safety and have also done a lot of work. From the perspective of law enforcement inspections, it is good to see the overall situation, but there are also drinking water source protection area system is not implemented, rural drinking water Water source is not protected.
"In the past, they have paid attention to big cities and have paid less attention to rural areas. This time, they also made corresponding provisions on these issues," he said.
He said that the law strengthens the management of drinking water in several aspects, stipulating that a risk assessment and investigation system should be established to prevent risks, and that cities that require a single water supply should establish emergency water sources and backup water sources, or establish regional networked water supply. In places where conditions are good in rural areas, centralized water supply is also required. At the same time, efforts should be made to strengthen the disclosure of information, requiring that the water supply unit should strengthen monitoring, and strengthen the monitoring of water inlets and outlets. The local government should publish information on the safety of drinking water at least once every quarter. At the same time, if a water pollution incident occurs, it must be disclosed to the society in a timely manner.
How to solve the problem of low illegal costs?
In the past, enterprises that were widely concerned with the media had used penetrating wells, seepage pits, and other means to illegally discharge illegally. Tong Weidong said that this time the amendment to the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Act and the vicious offense against the media has further intensified the penalties and raised the maximum limit of fines, up to a maximum of 1 million yuan. If the illegal situation of a company is further serious and constitutes the crime of destroying the environment, criminal responsibility may be investigated. At the same time, the Water Pollution Prevention Act also stipulates that if the circumstances are serious, it can be stopped and closed.
The law stipulates the obligation of enterprises to conduct self-monitoring of water pollutants discharged. But how to protect the true and accurate corporate monitoring data?
Bie Tao said that the revised Water Pollution Prevention Law has made specific provisions for ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of monitoring data, and has added clear provisions on the prohibition of data fraud.
"No monitoring equipment is installed or networked with the environmental protection department or there is no guarantee for its normal operation, a fine of 20,000 yuan up to 200,000 yuan will be imposed. If the circumstances are serious and overdue for rectification, the company will be ordered to suspend production for rectification." If tampering with data conceals illegal discharge of pollutants, pollution will occur. According to the provisions of the newly revised Supreme People's Court on judicial interpretation, this will constitute a crime and criminal responsibility will be pursued according to law. He said that with this combination of punches, there will be enough deterrence to counterfeit monitoring data.
