In the first round, all the central environmental protection inspectors gave feedback and issued a ＂fine＂ of about 1.43 billion yuan.
Beijing, January 4 (Reporter Zhang Ni) Recently, with the feedback from the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group to Xinjiang and Tibet, the first round of central environmental protection supervision ended. Since the pilot inspection was launched in Hebei in December 2015, two years later, the central environmental protection inspector has achieved full coverage in 31 provinces.
In the past two years, what environmental protection problems have been identified by the inspector group in various places? What is the situation of rectification in various places? How will the next step be carried out? A series of problems have become the focus of external attention.
Central environmental protection inspector launched full coverage of 31 provinces in two years.
In July 2015, the 14th meeting of the Central Deep Reform Group reviewed and approved the Environmental Protection Supervision Scheme (Trial), and clearly established the environmental protection supervision mechanism. The inspection work will be carried out in the form of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group to the provincial and municipal party committees and governments and their relevant departments, and will sink to some municipal party committees and government departments.
In December 2015, the central environmental protection inspector pilot was launched in Hebei. After a lapse of five months, the first batch of eight central environmental protection inspectors successively stationed in Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan and Ningxia to carry out inspection work.
Since then, from the end of November to the end of December 2016, the second batch of seven central environmental protection inspectors have inspected Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei, Guangdong, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces.
In April 2017, the third batch of seven central environmental protection inspectors successively stationed in seven provinces of Tianjin, Shanxi, Liaoning, Anhui, Fujian, Hunan and Guizhou.
In August 2017, the fourth batch of eight central environmental protection inspectors successively stationed in Jilin, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hainan, Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang (including the Corps) to carry out inspections.
At present, the central environmental protection inspector has completed the full coverage of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and published all the inspectors’ feedback.
About 1.43 billion yuan of "environmental protection tickets" were issued, and more than 18,000 people were held accountable.
While the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group set off an "environmental storm" in the local area, it also implemented strict accountability.
The reporter from Zhongxin. com learned from the Ministry of Environmental Protection that the first round of inspectors accepted more than 135,000 complaints from the masses, and a total of 29,000 cases were filed for punishment and a fine of about 1.43 billion yuan was imposed; 1,518 cases were investigated and 1,527 people were detained; Interviewed 18,448 party and government leading cadres and held 18,199 accountable.
Among the 18,199 people held accountable, there are 875 leading cadres at or above the departmental level, 6,386 at the departmental level and 10,938 others.
In addition, according to reports, the first round of inspectors conducted individual talks with 768 leading cadres at or above the provincial level and 677 leading cadres at the departmental level, and visited and inquired about 689 provincial departments and units, so that local leaders were generally educated, especially through the accountability of inspectors. A number of leading cadres were alerted and environmental pressure was effectively transmitted.
The inspector’s feedback was unkind and found out these "common problems"
In view of the problems found in the inspection process, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group also poked pain points in the feedback given, showing no mercy.
For example, the Sixth Environmental Protection Inspector Group of the Central Committee directly pointed out in the inspector’s feedback to Tibet a few days ago that many cadres in Tibet are not deeply aware of the importance of building a national ecological security barrier, and are satisfied with the good ecology endowed by nature. They think that Tibet has a vast territory, a good ecological background and a large environmental capacity, even if it is a little polluted or destroyed, it is no big deal.
The inspector group pointed out in the inspector’s feedback to Zhejiang Province that the Zhejiang Economic and Information Committee and the Energy Bureau shirked their responsibilities, which led to the illegal addition of 829 small coal-fired boilers with an hourly steam capacity of less than 10 tons since 2014.
Shandong Province was criticized for "some local development ‘ Path dependency ’ Seriously, I am used to ‘ when I am on a project or engaged in construction; Get on the bus first, then make up the ticket ’ , often requires environmental protection ‘ Make way ’ , implement the relevant national decision-making arrangements to make choices and make changes. "
In addition, some local governments have been named by the inspector group for their fraud in the process of pollution control.
For example, the Water Affairs Bureau of Jinghai District of Tianjin was exposed to deal with environmental protection inspectors, and fabricated meeting minutes and work accounts, which had a very bad influence.
In addition, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group also found some typical and common problems in the process of stationing in 31 provinces.
According to the previous introduction of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the common problems found in the inspectors are reflected in six aspects: First, the atmospheric and water environment problems in some areas are outstanding; Second, the construction of environmental governance infrastructure is seriously lagging behind; Third, some nature reserves are illegally approved and illegally built; Fourth, over-exploitation of water resources; Fifth, the problem of industrial pollution is still outstanding; Sixth, rural environmental problems are more prominent.
Inspectors helped solve these "long-standing problems"
In the past two years, the central environmental protection inspector has also promoted the solution of many "long-standing problems" in environmental protection.
According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the first round of inspectors directly promoted the solution of more than 80,000 environmental problems around the masses; At the same time, the local authorities have taken advantage of the situation to promote the solution of a number of "long-standing" environmental problems that have been solved for many years, and nearly 1,532 outstanding environmental problems that have been included in the rectification plan have been solved.
For example, environmental problems in nature reserves such as Kalamaili Mountain in Xinjiang have been basically rectified; The wetland area of Hulun Lake in Inner Mongolia has obviously expanded; Hubei basically completed the removal of illegal aquaculture in lakes; The progress of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, as well as Dongting Lake in Hunan and Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, has been significantly accelerated; Anhui completely stopped the occupation of Chaohu Lake wetland and other acts.
In terms of inspector rectification, since the inspector was initiated, more than 240 policies, regulations and system standards for ecological environmental protection have been introduced or revised in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities).
Among them, Shandong, Hainan, Sichuan, Tibet and other places issued documents to include environmental protection in the assessment and evaluation of cadres’ due diligence; Thirty-one provinces have issued documents on the division of responsibilities for environmental protection, plans for environmental protection supervision, and measures for the implementation of accountability for ecological environmental damage of party and government leading cadres; 26 provinces have carried out or are carrying out provincial environmental protection inspectors.

"One size fits all" and "a gust of wind"? The Ministry of Environmental Protection responded to questions
In the past two years, the central environmental protection inspector has achieved remarkable results, but at the same time, it has also caused some concerns and doubts about the inspector’s work, such as whether there will be a "gust of wind" in the inspector’s rectification and whether the suspension of production by enterprises is "across the board" and so on.
In response to the above doubts, the Ministry of Environmental Protection has recently responded one by one.
For example, in response to the question of whether there will be a "gust of wind" in the inspector’s rectification, at the press conference held by the Ministry of Environmental Protection a few days ago, Liu Changgen, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Inspector’s Office, said that the central environmental protection inspector has established a list-based dispatch, and the main leaders of the local party committees and governments have to report this month’s instructions on the inspector’s rectification, on-site supervision, the introduction of important policies, regulations, systems and other long-term mechanisms, and the rectification of key issues.
In addition, measures such as special inspection, notification, letter reporting, accountability, and interviews have also effectively promoted the long-term effectiveness of local strengthening rectification. In terms of information disclosure, local rectification plans, rectification and implementation should be made public and subject to social supervision.
"In terms of system design, we will never let go of the goal and never turn the inspector into a gust of wind." Liu changgen said.
Liu Changgen said: "We have analyzed the situation of enterprise shutdown, and all of them really need to be stopped according to the law and regulations, and all of them really need to be rectified, and they are particularly strongly reflected by the masses and cannot be rectified."
At the same time, he stressed, "We have resolutely corrected those who indiscriminately take simple and rude ways to deal with inspectors, such as emergency production and business suspension, which brings inconvenience to people’s production and life."

This year, we will "look back" to carry out mobile and acupoint-type special inspections.
How to deploy the next work of the central environmental protection inspector is also of great concern to the outside world.
According to Liu Changgen, in 2018, the Ministry of Environmental Protection may "look back" on the first round of inspector rectification, keep an eye on the problem and compact the responsibility to ensure that it is not a "gust of wind".
In addition, around the key tasks of pollution prevention and control, aiming at air pollution in key areas, black and odorous water pollution in key cities, and outstanding environmental problems affecting people’s production and life, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will organize mobile and acupoint-type special inspectors to provide powerful assistance for pollution prevention and control.
In terms of laws and regulations, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will strengthen the construction of environmental protection supervision system, organize the study and formulation of environmental protection supervision regulations, further improve the working mechanism of environmental protection supervision, and improve the central and provincial environmental protection supervision systems.
