  Xinhua News Agency, Shijiazhuang, May 13th-Direct roll call, hit the nail on the head. Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group stationed in Hebei. From the opening of a report phone to an unannounced visit to the front line; From the inspector to the inspector, to the centralized feedback; From handing over the problem to taking out the rectification plan within a limited time … … A series of unusual "bright swords" have triggered waves of strong impacts in Hebei and spread to the whole country.

  Thunder and sword pierce a batch of polluted pustules

  Air pollution is prominent, and the air quality of many cities ranks in the bottom ten in the country all the year round; Nearly a quarter of the water bodies are inferior to Grade 5; Serious pollution and degradation of ecological function in rural areas … … With the heavy industrial structure and extensive development for many years, the "water, land and air" in Hebei, a capital city province, has been polluted three-dimensionally. The first pilot of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector was stationed in Hebei. According to the feedback on May 3rd, the reporter made a field visit.

  — — Hutuo River is the key river in Haihe River Basin, which flows through Shijiazhuang, Hengshui and other places. At the junction of Gaocheng and Wuji, the color of sewage in the river ditch is like ink, and the soil beside the ditch is dyed dark black, with an unusually pungent smell. A villager who is watering the land nearby said that sometimes the water pumped up is yellow flowers with green foam, which can drown the crops.

  — — Wu ‘an, a major iron and steel town in southern Hebei Province, on the road leading to the urban area, large trucks entering and leaving the iron and steel plant filed in succession and were dusty. Yuhua iron and steel company, located near Chongyi village, is full of white smoke, and the factory is full of coils of wire rods. The surrounding villagers love and hate the steel mills. This company was directly named by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group for violating regulations by building or continuing steel projects.

  — — In addition to private enterprises, there are also state-owned Hegang Group Tangshan Iron and Steel Company and Handan Xinxing Cast Pipe Company. According to the reporter’s investigation, last year, Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. undertook the task of reducing ironmaking capacity, and needed to tear down a large blast furnace and build a small blast furnace in a different place. During the inspection of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group, the steel projects built in different places were not put on record and hit the "gun".

  — — Four ferroalloy projects in Tangshan failed to complete capacity substitution and illegally added capacity. According to the reporter’s investigation, the three projects of Nickel Gold Industry, Dingxiang Manganese Industry and Ganyi Industry have been put on record and capacity replacement procedures, but they have not been really implemented. The 80,000-ton nickel-iron alloy project of Tengda Technology in Caofeidian Development Zone has neither been put on record nor capacity replacement.

  The water quality of some rivers has deteriorated obviously, steel production capacity has been built illegally, projects have been approved illegally, the problem of "scattered pollution" has been concentrated, the pollution control of loose coal has been slow, the equivalent substitution of coal has been falsified, the quality control supervision of oil products has become a mere formality, the steel mills are still being eliminated, the sludge waste from tannery enterprises has been piled up for a long time, a large number of villas have been built in drinking water source protection areas, and the ecological damage caused by dust pollution from mining has been serious … …

  After 36 days of unannounced visits, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group assigned 31 batches of 2,856 environmental problems to Hebei, directly named 28 enterprises, and received nearly 10,000 words of feedback. The wording was harsh and outspoken, and the "pustules" of pollution were punctured one by one. Up to now, all the environmental problems assigned by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group have been settled, and Hebei will also investigate and deal with 13,784 illegal projects identified by the environmental protection inspection in combination with the requirements of the inspectors for rectification.

  Hit the nail on the head and hit the "focus" of severe carbuncle

  The Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group pointed out that "the phenomenon of emphasizing development and neglecting protection is more common in some places". The reporter learned that many enterprises choose the latter because of the problems involved in pollution control, such as reducing production capacity, shutting down enterprises, resettling personnel and increasing investment in environmental protection.

  Jiajing Glass Co., Ltd., located in Shahe City, Hebei Province, was named by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group because of "inconsistent batch construction". The reporter learned that this company stopped production during the Spring Festival due to the unstable operation of environmental protection equipment. Li Zongkui, deputy general manager of Jiajing Glass Co., Ltd. said that the two glass production lines of the enterprise all used natural gas. Due to the increase in gas prices last year, the net loss per day was nearly 400,000 yuan, and the enterprise switched to burning heavy oil with lower cost, resulting in continuous emission data exceeding the standard.

  "It turns out that pollution control is like slapping. This time, I feel that the knife is really on my neck." Li Zongkui said, "If environmental protection is not up to standard, it will die miserably." In order to resume production as soon as possible, the company newly invested 30.8 million yuan, and is currently upgrading its technology.

  Xinji city Hongsihai Leather Co., Ltd. was notified that hazardous waste was not treated in time. There is only one qualified chromium-containing sludge treatment enterprise in Hebei, which saves enough for one car and then transports it at a lower cost. There is also selfishness. After storing for a long time, the water evaporates, and the treatment fee can be twice as bad. "In the past, we thought we had made great efforts in environmental protection, but we were still named, which shocked us a lot." Zhu Xinyong, vice president of the company, said, "The leather production circle is very small, and being named has an impact on the company’s reputation. If enterprises do not eliminate pollution, pollution will eliminate enterprises. "

  Shenzhou City was named for "the main leaders of the municipal government illegally interfered with the project approval". The main leaders of the Shenzhou Municipal Committee told reporters: "In the past, we thought that introducing big projects and good projects and promoting economic development meant benefiting the people. Now I deeply realize that the environment is people’s livelihood and it is a greater political achievement. "

  During the reporter’s visit, some grassroots cadres said that in the past, environmental protection work was a "raw meal", and there was no hurry in the middle. Now it is from provinces, cities and counties to villages, and the pressure is only increasing. Now the county party secretary directly focuses on the rectification of an enterprise, which has become the normal state of grassroots environmental protection work.

  Four egg tray factories in Huang Zhuang Village, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang were reported to the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group for pollution. Dai Shengjie, director of environmental protection in Jiumen Township, pointed to the empty factory building of Samsung Egg Tray Factory, saying that before the central environmental protection inspector group moved in, the environmental protection department had taken measures to ban this enterprise, but it failed to meet the requirements of water cut, power cut, product cleaning, raw materials cleaning and equipment cleaning, so a township cadre and a district environmental monitoring staff were held accountable.

  "This is a wake-up call for us. Our work standards are still far from the requirements of our superiors." Meng Qinghua, director of Gaocheng District Environmental Protection Bureau, said.

  Constantly shining the sword will lift the national supervision "storm"

  The wording of the inspector’s feedback severely pointed out that Hebei did not pay enough attention to the strict implementation of the environmental protection work, and the work pressure was attenuated in the transmission; The problem of launching projects in violation of laws and regulations is outstanding; Some key tasks are not promoted strictly; The environmental quality in some areas has deteriorated sharply.

  We have carried out the central government’s decision-making and deployment on ecological construction and environmental protection without any conditions or reasons, and tackled the symptoms and the root causes together, and together with prevention and rectification, a tough battle has been launched in Hebei.

  The heavy industrial structure and coal-fired energy structure are the "culprits" of serious air pollution in Hebei. In this regard, Hebei Province made it clear that it will unswervingly resolve the excess capacity, and the party and government leaders who illegally build new steel projects or suspend the resumption of production of steel equipment will be dismissed first and then investigated and dealt with. In response to the inspector’s feedback, the steel construction project of Tangshan Iron and Steel Group was put on record at the end of April. Moreover, Hegang Group promises to be a "pioneer" and reduce the ironmaking capacity by 2.6 million tons and steelmaking capacity by 5.02 million tons this year and next.

  At the same time, a series of special actions to control environmental pollution such as air, water and soil have also started. A number of environmental protection systems, such as accountability for leading cadres’ assessment and grid management of environmental protection, are being established and improved. Hebei will also take the lead in launching the provincial environmental supervision system and the vertical management reform of environmental monitoring, supervision and law enforcement below the provincial level.

  At present, although the inspection work of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group in Hebei has come to an end temporarily, the powerful shock wave brought by the "environmental storm" is being pushed to the whole country.

  The reporter learned that inspections in about 15 provinces will be completed this year, and full coverage will be achieved in 2017. At the same time, the Ministry of Environmental Protection requires the environmental protection departments of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to carry out comprehensive inspections of more than 30% municipal governments this year and strengthen environmental supervision. By 2020, all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) will complete a round of comprehensive environmental protection inspections of municipal and county party committees and governments and their relevant departments.

  "This storm of environmental protection inspectors has alerted people and clearly felt the impact of environmental protection inspectors. Enterprises from other provinces have already had environmental pressure and survival crisis." Pei Peihua, deputy mayor of Shahe City, who is in charge of environmental protection, said that he often receives calls from other places to consult pollution control experience. "On environmental protection issues, whoever is lucky is a dead end."

  Public opinion believes that in the face of the central environmental protection inspector who will come sooner or later, instead of passively waiting for the problem to be found out, it is better to actively investigate the problem, face the problem squarely, solve the problem ahead, and resolve the contradiction ahead.
