To prevent land pollution, it is necessary to sign a "military order" with the State Council.

Prevention and control of land pollution   The local area needs to sign a "military order" with the State Council.

Pollution prevention and control played the third "card" - "Ten Shi" was officially introduced yesterday, which means that the three major battles of environmental pollution prevention and control "weapons" are available.

On May 31, the State Council officially issued the “Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan” (also known as “Ten Ten Articles”). The main indicators include: By 2020, the safe utilization rate of contaminated cultivated land will reach 90%, and the safe utilization rate of contaminated land will reach More than 90. "Ten Shi" also made it clear that soil management and restoration should be carried out in an orderly manner. By 2020, the area of ​​contaminated cultivated land treatment and restoration will reach 10 million mu.

It is estimated that by 2020, 70 million mu of contaminated cultivated land will be used safely, which will drive the environmental protection industry to add about 450 billion yuan. At the same time, after the implementation of the "Ten Ten Articles", it is expected that the GDP growth will be about 2.7 trillion yuan, and the employment population will increase by more than 2 million.

The reporter of "Daily Economic News" learned in the interview that soil pollution control is more difficult and the market size is larger than the atmosphere and water. However, there are fewer enterprises engaged in soil pollution control. Driven by market potential, some companies that previously focused on the wastewater sector began to lay out the field of soil remediation.

The local area needs to sign a "military order" with the State Council.

The overall condition of the soil environment is worrying. According to the published data, the total rate of soil in China is 16.1%. Among different land use types, the over-standard rates of cultivated land, forest land, grassland and unused land were 19.4%, 10.0%, 10.4%, and 11.4%, respectively.

Relative to the atmosphere and water pollution, soil pollution has the characteristics of concealment, lag, accumulation, heterogeneity, irreversibility, and rigorous governance, and directly affects food safety and human settlement environment safety. The focus of attention in the field of environmental protection.

It is understood that since the beginning of May 2013, the drafting work of "Ten Ten Articles" has mainly gone through four stages of preparation, preparation, solicitation of opinions and approval. It has solicited opinions from the central and state departments and units for five times, and solicited three provinces (districts). , city) People's Government opinions, 50 easy to draft.

"Ten Ten Articles" puts forward the three-stage work goal: by 2020, the national soil pollution aggravation trend will be initially contained; by 2030, the national soil environmental quality will be stable and good; by the middle of this century, the soil environmental quality will be improved comprehensively.

The main indicators are: By 2020, the safe utilization rate of contaminated cultivated land will reach 90%, and the safe utilization rate of contaminated land will reach over 90%. By 2030, the two types of utilization rates need to reach 95% or more.

To this end, "Ten Ten Articles" proposed 10 Articles and 35 sections, a total of 231 specific measures, from clarifying the situation, establishing a sound regulatory standards system, to classification management, promoting pollution control and rehabilitation, and then the target responsibility assessment.

Some industry experts told the "Daily Economic News" reporter that one of the difficulties in the prevention and control of soil pollution is that the bottom is unclear. Only by finding out the bottom line can we propose more targeted measures.

In this regard, "Ten Shi" requires that the area and distribution of soil pollution of agricultural land and its impact on the quality of agricultural products be ascertained before the end of 2018; before the end of 2020, the distribution of contaminated land in the land of enterprises in key industries and their environmental risks will be mastered. Establish a regular survey system for soil environmental quality, which is carried out once every 10 years.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the implementation of the relevant measures of the local government on the "Ten Ten Articles", the document requires that before the end of 2016, the State Council and the provincial (district, municipal) people's governments sign the responsibility document for soil pollution prevention and control, and decompose and implement the target tasks. The assessment of the progress of key work in each province (autonomous region, municipality) will be conducted in each year. The implementation of this action plan will be assessed in 2020. The assessment and assessment results will serve as an important basis for the comprehensive evaluation and evaluation of leading bodies and leading cadres and the departure audit of natural resources assets. .

Protecting the safety of agricultural products and human settlements

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said: "We focus on conducting investigations, finding out the bottom, promoting legislation, improving standards, defining responsibilities, and strengthening supervision. We also propose to resolutely hold the quality of agricultural products and the safety of human settlements. Soil environmental quality bottom line."

According to the goal of “Ten Shi Articles”: By 2020, the soil environmental safety of agricultural land and construction land will be basically guaranteed; by 2030, the soil environmental safety of agricultural land and construction land will be effectively guaranteed.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that the “Ten Shi Articles” focused on the cultivated land in the agricultural land and the contaminated land in the construction land, and clearly defined the key pollutants, industries and regions for supervision, strictly controlled the new pollution, and proposed more for the heavily polluted cultivated land. Strict management and control measures, clearly can not grow edible agricultural products, other crops can not be planted; for contaminated plots, distinguish between different uses, not simply banned, according to the degree of pollution, establish a negative list of development and utilization.

The "Ten Ten Articles" requires that the provincial people's governments should make early warning reminders and take restrictive measures such as environmental assessment and approval for the counties (cities, districts) whose priority protection of cultivated land is reduced or the soil environmental quality is degraded within their respective administrative areas. By 2020, the area for light and moderately polluted arable land will reach 40 million mu, and the planting structure adjustment of heavily polluted arable land or the area of ​​returning farmland to forests and grass will strive to reach 20 million mu.

It must be mentioned that at the beginning of this year, the "poisonous land" incident in Changzhou Foreign Language School triggered the concern of the whole society, and the safety of the living environment caused heated discussion.

Zhang Yi, dean of the Shanghai Environmental Sanitation Engineering Design Institute, told reporters that in fact, many provinces have “poisonous land” problems, including some water pollution, which are also caused by “poisonous land”.

The document emphasizes that since 2017, the land for enterprises in the non-ferrous metal smelting, petroleum processing, chemical, coking, electroplating, tanning and other industries that intend to recover land use rights will be changed to residential and commercial, school, medical and old-age institutions. For the above-mentioned enterprise land of public facilities, the land use right holder is responsible for carrying out the investigation and assessment of the soil environmental conditions. If it has been recovered, the local city and county people's government shall be responsible for carrying out the investigation and evaluation.
