On October 31, the China Securities Journal reporter learned from the Ministry of Environmental Protection that the first cross-regional environmental protection agency set up in Beijing to focus on solving regional atmospheric environmental problems, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Environmental Protection Bureau, will be completed by 2018. Liu Youbin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, said at the regular meeting of the Ministry of Environmental Protection that the Ministry of Environmental Protection held a comprehensive deepening reform leading group meeting in September, and adopted a pilot project for piloting the establishment of cross-regional environmental protection agencies in Beijing, Tianjin and Chongqing and surrounding areas. Work is actively moving forward. In 2018, the establishment of a cross-regional environmental protection agency in the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other ministries and commissions issued in August this year, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei autumn and winter air pollution comprehensive management tackling action plan, clearly proposed "the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Central Organization and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas related The provincial people's government should speed up the implementation of the "Pilot Program for Setting up Cross-Regional Environmental Protection Institutions" and carry out pilot projects for setting up cross-regional environmental protection agencies to focus on solving regional atmospheric environmental problems." It is reported that the "Pilot Program for Cross-Regional Environmental Protection Organizations" has been submitted to Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. The three places solicited opinions, and the draft for comment made that the institution is called the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Environmental Protection Bureau, and the organization is located in the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Liu Youbin said that the establishment of environmental protection agencies across regions and across river basins is based on central deployment and combined with environmental protection laws. The purpose is to develop unified planning, unified standards, unified environmental assessment, unified monitoring, and unified law enforcement mechanisms in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to strengthen air pollution prevention and control in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. At present, the Ministry of Environmental Protection is actively promoting it. Because it involves a wide area, it requires a certain procedure before it can be released to the public. China Securities Journal reporter learned from the Ministry of Environmental Protection that according to the central deployment, an environmental protection agency across regions and across river basins will be established by 2018. This means that in addition to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Environmental Protection Agency, there will be other environmental agencies across the basin. In addition, in deepening the reform of the ecological and environmental protection field, Liu Youbin introduced that the central government recently issued the “Opinions on Deepening Environmental Monitoring Reform and Improving the Quality of Environmental Monitoring Dataâ€. The Ministry of Environmental Protection convened a comprehensive deepening reform leading group meeting to pass the provincial environmental protection agency monitoring and monitoring the vertical management system reform pilot work summary evaluation report. At the same time, we will continue to promote the issuance of emission permits for key industries, and release technical specifications for 10 industries for petrochemical, coking, and flat glass. He said that the Ministry of Environmental Protection will continue to carry out intensive supervision of air pollution control in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and surrounding areas. At the same time, it will organize acupuncture-style inspectors and "look back" on the rectification of some outstanding problems discovered by the first batch and the second batch of inspectors. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei atmospheric treatment plus code at the press conference, the heads of environmental protection departments in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei made their debut in the regular press conference of the Ministry of Environmental Protection to explain the measures for tackling the atmosphere in autumn and winter. Fang Li, director of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said that Beijing has formulated the “1+14+17†“Beijing Autumn and Winter Attack Planâ€, which includes 30 key tasks in ten categories to ensure the completion of the “Atmosphere Ten†assessment indicators. In the autumn and winter, the concentration of PM2.5 and the number of heavy pollution days decreased by 25% and 20% respectively. Fang Li said that after efforts, some key emission reduction projects in Beijing were overfulfilled in advance. For example, the task of clean coal energy in 700 villages in rural areas is fully accelerated, and it is expected to be overfulfilled by the end of the year; more than 113,000 steam-burning coal-fired boilers will be demolished or cleaned, and three times the annual task will be completed by the end of the year. The key industries completed 3,256 tons of volatile organic compounds emission reduction, all of which exceeded the annual task. Wen Wurui, director of the Tianjin Environmental Protection Bureau, said that in order to achieve the goal of improving air quality in autumn and winter, in Tianjin, in the treatment of loose coal, the 1.21 million urban and rural loose coal heating tasks identified by the city were compressed by the state for three years to two years. This year, 338,000 households have been completed, and “power generation coal†and “electricity coal†have been completed. On the basis of exceeding the national tasks, it will ensure the completion of 613,000 households during the year and realize the complete elimination of urban loose coal. In addition, Tianjin also implemented peak-peak production. From November 1st, 396 key enterprises in 13 industries including Tianjin Foundry, Steel, API, and Non-ferrous Recycling fully implemented peak-peak production. Gao Jianmin, director of the Environmental Protection Department of Hebei Province, said that Hebei Province has initiated 40 measures to strengthen the atmosphere. This year, the province eliminated 33,600 small coal-fired boilers, 50,500 tons, and completed the reduction of ironmaking capacity of 20.22 million tons and steelmaking capacity of 22.61 million tons. A total of 38.45 million tons of coal consumption was cut. In addition, Hebei Province has also managed 108,800 scattered and polluting enterprises. Gao Jianmin said that Hebei Province has reached the target of a 25% drop in PM2.5 required by the “Atmosphere Ten†two years ahead of schedule. Among them, the average concentration of PM2.5 dropped by 25.7% from October 1 to 24 this year, and the atmospheric attack in autumn and winter achieved remarkable results. (Reporter Ouyang Chunxiang)
