Experience In Leather Pollution Control In Huaihe

Since 2004, the water quality in the Bengbu section of the main stream has basically stabilized from three to four types of water quality standards.

At present, under the condition that the entry water quality is up to standard, the outbound water quality of Bengbu national control section basically reaches the three target of national planning.

Fortunately, Huaihe River tributaries Huaihong New River basically stable in the two to three categories, the water quality of the tributaries of the river and whirlpool basically maintained in four categories.

Generally speaking, when people reach three kinds of water, people can travel freely.

Under the strong offensive of huge sums of funds and concerted efforts to control pollution in Huaihe and other provinces and municipalities, the progress of industrial pollution control has been speeded up. The key pollution control projects have been completed one after another, and the total amount of pollutants has been decreasing year by year, and the capacity of urban sewage treatment has been further enhanced.

Members of the investigation team came to the first sewage treatment plant in the western part of Bengbu city in the rain. The average daily sewage treatment capacity was 200 thousand tons, and the treated water was discharged directly into Huaihe.

"We have fish in Huaihe!"

At the drainage outlet, the delegation members saw small skipping fish.

It turned out that when the water was interlinked with Huaihe, the fish in Huaihe was rushed to the outlet.

Related staff said that the current "95" plan of the Huaihe River Basin identified 52 urban sewage treatment plants and fifteen urban sewage treatment plants designated to be constructed, and has made breakthrough progress, and most of them have been put into operation to effectively prevent the sewage from entering the Huai River.

The obvious improvement of environmental supervision ability is the key link of pollution control.

At the Bengbu gate water quality automatic monitoring station, the inspection team members are excited to see that here is like "electronic police". The 7 indexes of the Potassium Permanganate index, ammonia nitrogen and turbidity of the Huaihe Bengbu sluice are monitored continuously for 24 hours in real time, and the monitoring data are directly pmitted to China environmental monitoring center through satellite lines, so as to effectively monitor the water quality of Huaihe.

"The monitoring station can solve the water pollution disputes across the administrative area and supervise the total amount of pollutant discharge."

Jali, director of the planning and Protection Department of the Huai Wei Water Conservation Bureau, said that effective monitoring of the main pollutants COD in towns and villages in Huaihe basin has been reduced from 1 million 500 thousand tons in 1993 to 947 thousand tons in 2000 and 734 thousand tons in 2007.

In the governance of "guiding, stopping, prohibiting, changing and pferring", the cities were unruthless in dealing with the "big pollute producers": in 1995, 19 key polluting large and medium-sized enterprises such as MSG factory in Zhoukou were implemented for a limited time to control and stop production and limit production. At the end of June 1996, 1111 small paper mills with an annual output of less than 5000 tons were closed, and 3876 small enterprises were closed at the end of September. At the end of 1997, 1139 enterprises in 1562 enterprises with more than 100 tons of daily drainage were discharged.

What does pollution control in Huaihe bring to us? Like the pollution control in Huaihe, the pace of water pollution control in Liaohe River also needs to be speeded up.

What has made the water pollution control work in the Huaihe basin effective and the trend of watershed water pollution has been checked?

The practice of pollution control in Huaihe embodies a road of sustainable development and provides an example for river pollution control in China.

Looking back on pollution control in Huaihe, it is difficult.

Since 1980s, the "fifteen small" enterprises, such as small leather making, small chemical industry and small electroplating in Huaihe basin, have been scattered everywhere. Due to backward technology, huge resources waste and environmental pollution have caused huge losses to Huaihe.

As a major source of industrial pollution, many large and medium-sized enterprises have long been illegal sewage disposal, becoming a heavy pollution load in Huaihe.

In May 1994, the environmental protection law enforcement inspection meeting of the Huaihe River Basin opened a prelude to the national comprehensive control of water pollution in the Huaihe River Basin. Huaihe has also become the first big river to carry out comprehensive water pollution control in China. It has been listed as the focus of the "95" and "fifteen" national key governance "three rivers and Sanjiang".

In August 8, 1995, the State Council issued the first regulation on water pollution prevention and control in Huaihe, the Provisional Regulations for the prevention and control of water pollution in the Huaihe River Basin.

Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, China has opened up the battle of Huaihe in the century of pollution control.

"Provisional Regulations provide a strong legal guarantee for Huaihe's pollution control."

Jia Li said that the interim regulations clearly defined the Huaihe River Basin Water Resources Protection Leading Group as the leading body of Huaihe basin water pollution prevention and control, led by the Ministry of environmental protection and the Ministry of water resources as the leading group leader, and the leading group office is located in the Huaihe River Basin Water Resources Protection Bureau.

It can be said that this "commander" is both water and pollution.

Huaihe pollution control "action table" was drawn up: in 1996 and 2003, the State Council respectively approved the Huaihe basin water pollution prevention and control plan and the "95" plan and the "Huaihe river basin water pollution prevention and control plan" and "fifteen" plan, and clarified the objectives of water pollution prevention and control. In 2004, the Ministry of environmental protection held a Huaihe water pollution prevention and control meeting in Bengbu City, Anhui province. The Ministry of environmental protection and the Henan, Anhui, Shandong and Jiangsu four governments signed water pollution control targets respectively, and postponed the "fifteen" planning target until 2010.

"Governance in Huaihe is not a province, which city can do a good job, the downstream efforts, upstream do not control it."

An environmental protection official in Anhui province said that pollution control in Huaihe is a long historical process.

To fundamentally eliminate water pollution and achieve a virtuous cycle of the ecosystem of the Huaihe River Basin, only the provinces are responsible for the water environment quality of their respective watersheds, and the task of decomposing the pollution control to the relevant cities and counties, and the time limit is completed, can we ensure that the entire watershed of Huaihe is cleared up.

The provisional regulations have prompted the departments and regions to form a scientific system of pollution control in Huaihe. The four provinces along the river have been coordinated by the "commanders" to form a joint pollution control situation.

No rules, no Cheng Fangyuan.

In the course of pollution control, the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial People's Congress has made the inspection of legislation and law enforcement as an important work.

In 1993, the Provisional Regulations on the prevention and control of water pollution in the Huaihe River Basin of Anhui province were formulated. This is the first local regulation of pollution control in China's drainage area. In 2001, the regulations on environmental protection of drinking water sources in cities and towns in Anhui were promulgated. In 2004, the resolution on the implementation of ecological province was adopted.

Chen Guilin, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Bengbu Municipal People's Congress, said that the supervision of the NPC and the supervision by the public and the masses are organically combined to form a joint force of supervision. This joint effort has led to better control of the pollution in the Bengbu section of Huaihe.

The upgrading of control technology, the effective monitoring of whole river basin, whole process and all-weather is one of the most effective weapons for pollution control in Huaihe.

In Anhui Province, the water quality of monitoring surface and municipal section of key river basins is checked and announced monthly, and the key sewage outlets and enterprises are encrypted at least once a week.

Bengbu has installed on-line monitoring facilities for 31 key water pollution control enterprises, and is connected with the automatic monitoring center of the city's pollution sources, so as to further improve the warning ability of the main stream pollution.

In addition to speeding up the construction and operation of urban sewage treatment projects, improving the level of environmental supervision and law enforcement is also an important content.

Yin Fucai, deputy director of the Anhui provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, said the strict environmental access system blocked the project which was not conducive to pollution control.

For example, the environmental quality can not meet the requirements of the environmental functional area; no new water pollutant discharge projects will be approved in the areas where the urban sewage treatment works have not been completed.

Bengbu has implemented the system of "first vote veto", and if the key enterprises and their principal leaders fail to comply with the requirements of environmental protection equipment, they will not be eligible to be advanced, and those who behave badly will be subject to administrative detention.

Regardless of harnessing the Huai river or the Liao Dynasty, we must follow the objective rule of watershed management.

The experience of pollution control in the Huaihe River Basin shows that the water pollution control in the river basin must first be followed by law. We see that the Provisional Regulations on water pollution control in the Huaihe basin, issued by the State Council, provide a solid legal guarantee for the prevention and control of water pollution in Huaihe. Secondly, we should change the practice of "sweeping snow before the door" in various regions and cities, and change the "dragon water control" as an overall coordination and upstream and downstream linkage. Thirdly, we must have a set of strict punishing methods, strictly supervise the source of pollution, conduct effective monitoring of the water quality, seriously deal with the polluting enterprises that violate the relevant environmental regulations of the state, and implement "one vote veto" for the enterprises and projects that pollute the standard.

It is heartening to note that the coordinated action of promoting the water pollution control in the Liao River Basin in accordance with the law initiated by the Standing Committee of the seven Central People's Congress in central Liaoning has followed the common rule of river basin governance, and highlighted the overall supervision, overall coordination, governance priorities and action effectiveness in the coordination action.

We firmly believe that, as long as we stick to the concerted efforts, we should adhere to the law of the people's congresses at all levels, under the supervision of the people's governments at all levels, and adhere to the path of sustainable development at all levels of the government, with clear water, clear waves, beautiful fish and lively fish.
