In accordance with the Central Regulations on the Work of Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspectors, the second round of the third batch of central ecological and environmental protection inspectors was launched with the approval of the Party Central Committee and the State Council.Eight central inspection teams have been set up for ecological and environmental protection in Shanxi, Liaoning, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hunan, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces and autonomous regions for about one month.
How should fastener enterprises do a good job?
From April 1 to April 4, Tangshan Bureau of Ecology and Environment reported a total of 48 cases of environmental violation punishment, with a total fine of 19.2 million yuan.Thus, the state for environmental protection law enforcement is firm, so as an enterprise, how to deal with environmental inspection?
Part of the explanation can be found in Tangshan’s fine:
1. The production of secondary emergency response for heavy pollution weather is not implemented
2. Fraud of online monitoring data
3. No organized emissions in the workshop
4. Fail to establish a sound environmental management ledger and truthfully record it
5. The normal operation of online monitoring equipment is not guaranteed
6. Direct exhaust
7. The current situation does not conform to the pollutant discharge permit registration
To sum up, it is to: implement environmental management;Implement pollution control;No falsehood.
Coping strategy
I. Environmental compliance
* Whether it conforms to the national industrial policy and local industry access conditions, and meets the relevant requirements for the elimination of backward production capacity;
* Whether to apply for the pollutant discharge permit in accordance with the law and discharge pollutants according to the content of the permit;
* Whether the environmental protection acceptance procedures are complete;
* Whether the construction project of the enterprise has fulfilled the EIA procedures and “three simultaneous” in accordance with law;
* Whether the EIA documents and EIA approvals are complete;
* Whether the site conditions of the enterprise are consistent with the contents of the EIA documents: focus on checking whether the nature of the project, production scale, location, production technology adopted, pollution control facilities, etc. are consistent with the EIA and approval documents;
* If the project starts construction 5 years after the approval of the EIA, whether it should be re-submitted for EIA approval.
Second, environmental protection acceptance procedures
The acceptance of environmental protection on completion of construction projects is mainly to check and accept the implementation of pollution prevention and control facilities proposed in the EIA documents and approvals.Therefore, for some construction projects (such as ecological impact construction projects), if the EIA documents and approvals do not require the construction of solid waste pollution prevention and control facilities (excluding temporary facilities during the construction period), there is no need to carry out the completion of solid waste pollution prevention and control facilities of environmental protection acceptance.The construction unit shall give a corresponding explanation in the acceptance report of independent acceptance inspection.
Acceptance of environmental protection facilities for water and gas pollutants:
The environmental protection facilities for water and air pollutants under construction projects shall be checked and accepted by the construction units themselves.
Acceptance of noise pollution prevention and control facilities:
Before a construction project is put into operation or use, its facilities for the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution must be checked and accepted in accordance with the standards and procedures prescribed by the State;If it fails to meet the requirements prescribed by the State, the construction project may not be put into production or use.
According to Article 48 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution (amended in 2018) :Where, in violation of the provisions of Article 14 of this Law, a construction project is put into production or use without the completion of supporting facilities for the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution or without meeting the requirements prescribed by the State, the competent ecological environment department at or above the county level shall order it to make corrections within a time limit, and impose a fine on the unit or individual;If major environmental pollution or ecological damage has been caused, it shall be ordered to stop its production or use, or, upon approval by a people’s government with approval power, to close it down.
Acceptance of solid waste pollution prevention and control facilities:
On April 29, 2020, the law of the People’s Republic of China on the prevention and control of environmental pollution by solid waste a second revision (shall be implemented as of September 1, 2020), construction projects need to form a complete set of solid waste pollution prevention facilities, after the completion of all needs to independently by the construction unit to carry out the environmental protection acceptance, no longer need to apply to the administrative department of environmental protection acceptance.
Self-inspection, rectification and treatment facilities related to exhaust gas
Check the operating status, historical operation, handling capacity and capacity of the exhaust gas treatment facility.

4. Waste gas collection and transportation
* Waste gas collection should follow the principle of “collect all receivable and collect according to quality”.The exhaust gas collection system should be comprehensively designed according to gas properties, flow rate and other factors to ensure the exhaust gas collection effect.
* Closure, isolation and negative pressure operation measures should be taken for equipment that produces escaping dust or harmful gases.
* Waste gas should be collected by the gas collecting system of the production equipment itself as far as possible. When the escaping gas is collected by the gas collecting (dust) cover, it should be surrounded or close to the pollution source as far as possible to reduce the suction range and facilitate the capture and control of pollutants.
* Waste gas generated by waste water collection system and treatment facility units (original tank, regulating tank, anaerobic tank, aeration tank, sludge tank, etc.) should be collected airtight, and effective measures should be taken to treat and discharge.
* The solid waste (hazardous waste) storage places with volatile organic materials or obvious odor should be closed, and the waste gas should be collected and treated and discharged.
* Pollutant gas collected by the gas collection (dust) cover should be transported to the purification device through pipelines.Piping layout should be combined with production technology, and strive to be simple, compact, short pipeline, less space.
5. Waste gas treatment

* For medium concentration organic waste gas, adsorption technology should be adopted to recover organic solvents or thermal incineration technology after purification, discharge standards.
* For low concentration organic waste gas, when there is recovery value, adsorption technology should be used;When there is no recovery value, adsorption concentration combustion technology, regenerative thermal incineration technology, biological purification technology or plasma technology should be adopted.
* Odor gas can be purified by microbial purification technology, low-temperature plasma technology, adsorption or absorption technology, thermal incineration technology, etc. After purification, it can be discharged up to the standard, and it will not affect the surrounding sensitive protection targets.
* In principle, chemical enterprises with continuous production should recycle or incinerate combustible organic waste gas, while chemical enterprises with intermittent production should adopt incineration, adsorption or combination process for treatment.
* Dust waste gas should be treated by a combination of bag dust removal, electrostatic dust removal or bag dust removal as the core.Industrial boilers and industrial furnaces give priority to clean energy and efficient purification process, and meet the emission reduction requirements of major pollutants.
