Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau: Thoroughly Decontamination And Remediation Of Leather And Other Pollution Control Canal

A special press conference on environmental protection was held yesterday (July 31st), and the regulation of the canal became the focus of attention.

"Canal renovation involves water quality improvement, and the most basic arrangement is sewage treatment plants and pipelines.

Now 8 sewage treatment plants have been built, and a total of 21 will be completed by the end of this year.

The progress is slower than the original plan, but by June next year, the sewage treatment plant can be fully built. "

Yuan Shaodong, director of Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau, said at the press conference.

Canal regulation: when can it be cured? There is no specific timetable.

When the canal pollution can be repaired, this is a matter of concern to many people. Yesterday's news conference, Yuan Shaodong, the director of the Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau, seemed a little cautious. He said, "if there is any regulation of the canal next year, now I dare not say," I am afraid to say more and more wrong. "

He said he wanted to do one thing successfully, and after 20 years of continuous development, the canal hoped for good governance.

Yuan Shaodong said the canal has many sources of pollution, including industrial pollution, domestic pollution, garbage pollution and upstream pollution sources.

The key to renovating the canal is to control it from the source. He divides the whole work into two parts. First, the sewage points are completely intercepted to deal with the rubbish along the canal, so as to avoid the creation of new sources of pollution.

Another measure is to prevent and control inland rivers.

Yuan Shaodong thought that the pollution of the inland river was very serious. The canal would be better if the water discharged into the canal was thoroughly treated.

According to Leng Xiaoming, executive vice mayor of Dongguan, in the first half of this year, the Dongguan municipal government carried out comprehensive comprehensive renovation and ecological rehabilitation for the 285 km inland river.

He said that the work should be carried out in an all-round way, and on the basis of doing well the main pipe network, we should combine with the regulation of rivers.

On this basis, we should further promote the construction of the pipeline network and increase the interception rate, especially the sewage ports that the two sides of the canal have not yet received.

Questions and answers

Reporter: what is the effectiveness of the regulation of the East Canal diversion? What measures will be taken to promote the renovation work in the next few years?

Yuan Shaodong (director of Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau): canal improvement involves water quality improvement, and the most basic arrangement is sewage treatment plant and pipe network.

We are pushing forward with all our strength.

Now, 8 sewage treatment plants have been built, and a total of 21 will be completed by the end of this year. The progress is slower than the original plan. But now, with the support of various towns, the sewage treatment plant can be completed in June next year.

On this basis, we should further promote the construction of pipe network and improve the interception rate.

Sewage treatment: enterprises will shut down according to law in order to protect the environment.

According to Leng Xiaoming, executive vice mayor of Dongguan, the Dongguan municipal government has intensified its efforts to control polluting enterprises. In the first half of this year, the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau forced 37 high polluting enterprises to be shut down and issued a decision on deadline for treatment to 95 enterprises.

Leng Xiaoming said that in the next stage, the Dongguan municipal government will resolutely close about 250 pure paper, pure bleaching and dyeing, pure washing water, pure printing enterprises and small paper-making enterprises and small scale tannery enterprises below the annual output of 50 thousand tons (excluding toilet paper), according to the requirements of the rectification work plan, and "two-way control of industrial enterprises from the past single pollutant emission concentration control to pollutant concentration and total quantity".

For the heavy polluting enterprises' special paper making enterprises, the Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau has put forward a clear control target, requiring that the recycling rate of the waste water produced by the papermaking enterprises must reach over 80%. At the same time, the black chimneys in the whole city should be comprehensively improved, and the industries such as motor vehicles, furniture, electronics, shoemaking and oil depots (gas stations) should be emphasized.

At present, 125 paper-making enterprises in Dongguan (including sanitary paper mills) have closed 19, 11 have been closed for a limited time, 15 have completed rectification and acceptance, 28 are being declared and accepted, 52 are being reformed, and the rest of the related rectification work is being carried out.

Formal notification of the 43 enterprises requires that the boilers and furnaces to be used must build desulphurization facilities with a desulphurization rate of more than 90%.

Questions and answers

Reporter: how can Dongguan reform the printing and dyeing enterprises?

Is it necessary for printing and dyeing enterprises to move to 9 environmental protection bases?

Yuan Shaodong: pollution control enterprises should be treated according to law, and all investment enterprises should be treated equally.

It is necessary to turn off a batch of enterprises and shut down some polluting enterprises in accordance with the law, govern them according to the laws and regulations of the state, manage a batch of pollutants that can meet the standard discharge, supervise them by means of management, manage emissions through routine inspections, remove a batch of them, and fail to meet the discharge standards, and go to the base for centralized management, management and construction so as to discharge the standards.

Reporter: is there any good way to improve the reuse rate of recycled water in Dongguan?

Yuan Shaodong: now the problem of reclaimed water reuse is being investigated, but the problem of reclaimed water reuse is that the cost is relatively large.

Some other measures are still being considered, such as greening and cleaning, to raise the level of reclaimed water as much as possible.

Reporter: Fu'an, a big polluter, will move out of Dongguan before the end of the year.

Liu Guojun (deputy director of Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau): during the usual inspection, we found that polluting enterprises were limited in time, and if the deadline was not up to standard, and at the same time, they could not reach the target of stability. We would remind them to stop production or shut down in due course, and not let them move away because of simple pollution.

As far as we are concerned, there is no pollution in Dongguan.

Other responses

EPA officials were chopped

It has nothing to do with pollution control.

Reporter: some officials of the Dongguan Environmental Protection Bureau have been chopped by gangsters recently. They are said to have been retaliated for work reasons. How do you respond to this?

Yuan Shaodong: this matter is under investigation by the police. It is not convenient to disclose the details.

There is no concrete evidence to substantiate the rumour that it is being retaliated for work.

We will not relax our work accordingly. If the enterprise violates the relevant regulations of environmental protection, we must deal with how to deal with it. We will never be afraid and appeased.
