Many Leather Enterprises In Dongting Stop Polluting

"The spring of Dongting is full, and the brocade sails of Pinghu are open. It is like a peach blossom This is a poem of the Southern Dynasty that came to my mind when I took a boat to look at the Dongting Lake near the Yuanjiang river monitoring section in Potou County, Hanshou County, Changde City. I hope it will not be far away to reappear the beautiful scenery of the past. Dongting Lake is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. The reed resources are abundant in the lake area, which makes the papermaking industry developed in the region around the lake. As a large number of paper-making enterprises have no pollution treatment facilities, the waste water is discharged into the lake without treatment for a long time, which leads to the overall water quality decline of Dongting Lake, which directly threatens the safety of drinking water sources for people along the lake. The increasingly serious pollution problem of papermaking enterprises in Dongting Lake area has aroused great concern from all aspects. In December last year, the Hunan provincial government, in accordance with the instructions of state leaders and the decision of the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress, comprehensively deployed the pollution control work of papermaking enterprises in Dongting Lake area, and decided to take measures such as eliminating and closing down, stopping production, strengthening supervision, etc., to make overall planning for the paper enterprises in Dongting Lake area, and firmly control the disordered development of papermaking industry in Dongting Lake area based on integration and comprehensive treatment. On December 4, 2006, Jiang Yimin, director of environmental protection of Hunan Province, signed the responsibility statement of pollution control objectives of papermaking enterprises in Dongting Lake District with relevant responsible persons of Changde, Yiyang and Yueyang of Dongting Lake District, which opened the prelude of pollution control campaign in Dongting Lake District. According to the "implementation plan for pollution control of papermaking enterprises in Dongting Lake area" approved by Hunan provincial government, the campaign is carried out in several stages. Before December 31, 2006, chemical pulp and paper enterprises without effective pollution control facilities or long-term excessive discharge of pollutants will stop production. Before March 31, 2007, all chemical pulping and papermaking enterprises without alkali recovery device or with alkali recovery device but whose pollutant discharge can not reach the standard stably, and waste paper enterprises without effective environmental protection facilities or whose pollutant discharge cannot meet the standard stably shall stop production. 234 paper-making enterprises stopped production, and the water quality of some water areas changed from grade V to class III. in order to understand the pollution control situation of Dongting Lake, the reporter came to Changde City, located in the northwest of Hunan Province. Changde city borders on the West Dongting Lake in the East, Xiangxi and Zhangjiajie in the west, Junling mountain and Jianghan Plain in the north, Zishui River Basin in the south, and Yuanli river running through the whole area. Located in Hanshou County, Changde City, Potou section is the last water quality monitoring section in the main stream of Yuanjiang River and the water quality control section of Yuanjiang River flowing into Dongting Lake. According to the monitoring report, the CODcr of the main organic matter in the river decreased by 65% compared with the same period last year after the rectification action of illegal sewage discharge papermaking enterprises in the Dongting Lake Basin. This shows that the organic matter pollution of Yuanjiang River is obviously reduced, and the total amount of pollutants discharged into Dongting Lake is reduced, which plays a positive role in improving the water quality of Dongting Lake. According to Gu Wenlong, deputy director of Hunan Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, Dongting Lake has completed two stages of remediation tasks, 234 paper-making enterprises have stopped production and achieved the goal of phased regulation. The water quality in the lake area has improved, and the water quality in some water areas has changed from grade V to class III. In Changde City, 67 chemical pulp and paper-making enterprises and waste paper enterprises were closed down, and more than 30 million tons of COD3 were cut. A total of 57 paper-making enterprises in Changde City have been listed in the implementation plan for pollution control of papermaking enterprises in Dongting Lake District of Hunan Province. According to Wang Jiya, director of environmental protection of Changde City, 17 of the first batch of enterprises have closed down on December 31, 2006, and all 40 companies in the second batch have been closed on March 31, 2007. At the same time, a number of small recycled paper mills exposed in the second batch of shutdown operations were shut down at the same time. The municipal Party committee and government of Changde attach great importance to the pollution control work of paper-making enterprises in Dongting Lake District. Wu Jihai, Secretary of the municipal Party committee, has repeatedly stressed that the pollution control work of paper-making enterprises is the need of implementing the scientific outlook on development and building a harmonious Changde City, and is an urgent demand of the masses of the people. We should pay close attention to, implement and achieve results. The Standing Committee of the municipal Party committee and the mayor's office meeting held five meetings to study the problems of paper industry control. A leading group for pollution control of papermaking enterprises in the city, headed by the mayor, was established to organize and coordinate the pollution control work in the whole city. In order to strengthen leadership and clarify responsibilities, several vice mayors of Changde City are responsible leaders of some key paper-making enterprises. ???? According to ou yunchong, member of the Standing Committee of the Changde Municipal Committee and vice mayor, according to the deployment of the Hunan provincial government, Changde has carried out the unprecedented centralized shutdown "zero point action". Functional departments at all levels coordinate and cooperate with each other and perform their respective duties. They have taken compulsory measures such as power failure and water cut-off to cancel or revoke business licenses of enterprises ordered to shut down and cut off their production back. Up to now, more than 67 million tons of paper-making and paper-making enterprises in the city have been closed down. The paper industry is one of the important industrial industries in Changde City, which is rich in reed resources, and its COD emission still accounts for 47% of the city's total COD emission. Wang Jiya said that for the paper-making enterprises that have been shut down, on the one hand, they should, in strict accordance with the requirements of the provincial government, further consolidate the achievements in pollution control, establish a long-term mechanism, and strengthen daily supervision and inspection to ensure that there is no dead corner or rebound in the shutdown. On the other hand, the municipal government will give strong support to the enterprises that have the ability to scale up and pollution control facilities in terms of capital and land. According to the requirements of "unified planning, reasonable layout, strict standards, and bigger and stronger", the municipal government will focus on supporting backbone enterprises, striving to have 5 pulp and paper enterprises and about 20 recycled paper enterprises in line with the national industrial policy and increase production without increasing Pollution, efforts to increase production and reduce pollution, meet the requirements of environmental protection under the conditions of rapid "rejuvenation". On March this year, the government of Hunan paper industry Co., Ltd. received a large amount of capital from the government of Hunan Province to reclaim 500 thousand yuan from the paper industry. The reporter learned in the interview that the enterprise invested 62.5 million yuan, through technical transformation and expansion and alkali recovery project construction, has formed 51000 tons / year papermaking production scale, the capacity expansion alkali recovery project has been fully completed in mid May, and the supporting middle water transformation project has also started. After the completion of the expansion project, the annual discharge of COD and BOD of the company will be reduced by 2792.1 tons and 3437.7 tons respectively compared with the original discharge. According to the requirements of the provincial government, the company is making great efforts to take measures to ensure the completion of the emission standard before December 31, 2007, so as to realize cleaner production in an all-round way. He Jiaping, inspector of the Research Office of the National People's Congress Environmental Protection and assets committee and director of the Executive Committee of the China Environmental Protection Century Executive Committee, fully affirmed the current pollution control situation of paper-making enterprises in the Dongting Lake area of Changde City. But he also pointed out that the paper industry COD emissions accounted for 47% of the city's emissions, indicating that the paper industry's pollution reduction work can not be relaxed. The government functional departments must strengthen supervision to ensure the existing renovation achievements of the paper industry and ensure that the paper enterprises still in production meet the emission standards. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the supervision of pollutant discharge units such as pharmaceutical factories and leather factories that have contributed to COD in the basin, and adopt more strict management measures to protect the ecological environment. According to the introduction of the State Administration of environmental protection of Changzhou City, the environmental protection model of Linde city was established recently. The water quality of Yuan River and Li River, which flows through the whole city, is basically maintained between the second and third class national surface water standards, which ensures the water quality of the rivers entering Dongting Lake.
