"13Th Five-Year" EIA Reform Plan Released

"

During the period, the strategic environmental impact assessment will be completed in the three major regions of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.

The strategic environmental impact assessment will also be implemented.

The Ministry of environmental protection recently revealed that the implementation plan of the 13th Five-Year "environmental impact assessment reform" has been finalized.

This plan will help to give full play to the role of environmental impact assessment from the source to prevent environmental pollution and ecological damage, and promote the overall goal of "green development" and "improving the quality of the ecological environment" in 13th Five-Year.

Environmental impact assessment is a pre - measure to reduce pollution and protect the ecological environment, which is equivalent to a gate for environmental protection.

The above plan proposes that during the "13th Five-Year" period, the environmental protection department will take improving environmental quality as the core, take the effectiveness of the EIA as the main line, innovate the system and mechanism as the driving force, and take the "ecological protection red line, the bottom line of environmental quality, the list of resources utilization on-line and the negative entry of environmental access" (hereinafter referred to as "three lines and one single") as a means to strengthen the management of space, total quantity and access environment.

During the "13th Five-Year" period, what major EIA projects will be landing? According to the Ministry of environmental protection, during this period, key areas and projects have been identified in the strategic environmental assessment, planning EIA and EIA.

In the strategic environmental assessment, we will formulate and implement the "three line and one single" technical specification.

The strategic environmental impact assessment of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other three regions has been completed, and the Yangtze River economic belt and the "one belt and one road" strategic environmental impact assessment have been organized.

Complete the demonstration of EIA in Lianyungang and Ordos.

We completed the pilot study on the EIA of major policies such as new urbanization and development pformation, and initially established the EIA mechanism and technical framework of the policy making organs as the main body, the relevant parties and experts fully involved.

In the planning environmental impact assessment, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said it would take an active part in the "multi discipline integration" and the spatial planning of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

We will further carry out planning environmental impact assessment of cities and new districts.

The EIA of river basin comprehensive planning is carried out to determine the development boundary and development intensity.

Completion of the Yangtze River Economic Belt key industrial park planning environmental impact assessment and verification.

We should coordinate with the development, reform, industry and information technology, land and resources, urban and rural housing construction, pportation, water conservancy and other departments to promote the EIA mechanism.

At the same time, implement the list management of planning environmental impact assessment.

According to the objective of improving environmental quality, we should draw up a list of ecological space for space development planning and control list of development zones.

A list of industrial and technological environment admittance lists is drawn up for industrial development planning.

To achieve the full coverage of the EIA of key industrial parks, and strengthen the inventory management.

The planning environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a rigid constraint on the approval of EIA documents contained in the plan.

The content of the EIA should be simplified for the construction projects that have been adopted in the planning EIA requirements.

The industrial parks with high quality and complete planning environmental impact assessment and various management lists are selected to reduce the categories of EIA documents in some industrial projects in the park.

In the project environmental impact assessment, it is found that the planning implementation will cause significant adverse environmental impacts, and timely feedback to the planning organization.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection said it would strictly enforce the responsibility of the EIA.

We should timely organize the verification of the EIA conclusions and the implementation of the review opinions, and put the local governments and relevant departments in the planning of EIA work into the environmental protection inspectors.

To study and establish the pfer mechanism for the investigation of the responsibility of the planning EIA, and cooperate with the relevant departments to seriously investigate the responsibilities of the party and government leaders.

It is understood that during the "13th Five-Year" period, the Ministry of environmental protection will also carry out environmental risk assessment of shutting down and relocation enterprises.

For non-ferrous metal smelting, petroleum processing, chemical industry, coking, electroplating, and so on for heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, hazardous wastes, carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic chemical pollutants.

And other key enterprises to study the environmental risk assessment of enterprises shutting down and relocation.

At the same time, we should carry out regional environmental impact early-warning pilot projects.

In order to improve environmental quality, we should carry out regional environmental capacity calculation and early warning.

Develop the Yangtze River economic belt and Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei coordinated development of strategic environmental impact warning.

We should carry out early warning experiments for typical key development areas and optimized development areas.

We should carry out typical early-warning areas for development zones and prohibit the development of red space.
