In late April 2018, as the pollution problem of chemical plants in Lianyungang, a districted city in Jiangsu, was exposed, the central government and Jiangsu paid great attention.

"Is it true that the chemical plant will be closed this time?" When a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald went to Chuangang Village, Touzao Town, Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province for investigation, many villagers talked about it.

It is understood that the homes of these villagers are lined up, separated from the first chemical plant invested and constructed in the High-tech Park of Touzao Town about 10 years ago only by a small river, which is less than the prescribed protection distance.

Currently, this park is undergoing environmental improvement.

This is a microcosm of the comprehensive renovation of chemical plants in Jiangsu Province.

In late April 2018, as the pollution problem of chemical plants in Lianyungang, a districted city in Jiangsu, was exposed, the central government and Jiangsu paid great attention.

This environmental protection rectification is fundamentally different from previous actions.

The environmental improvement along the Yangtze River and coastal areas not only involves the structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading of the chemical industry, and the functional positioning of the chemical park, but also the vital interests of residents and enterprises, as well as the innovation of local government governance mechanisms and methods.

Jiangsu de-"transformation"

Benefiting from the dual natural geographical advantages along the coast and along the Yangtze River, Jiangsu has long been aware of the economic stimulus effect of the chemical industry.
In 2014, Jiangsu petroleum and chemical enterprises above designated size achieved 1.
88 trillion yuan in main operating income.

At the same time, in accordance with the "experience of industrial parks" in Jiangsu's economic development (the construction of parks promotes industrial restructuring, transformation and upgrading), as of the end of December 2011, a total of chemical parks (centralized District) 70, with a total planned area of ​​787.
76 square kilometers.
Among them, 11 are national parks and 16 are provincial chemical parks.

However, judging from the geographical distribution of chemical parks (concentration areas), the environmental risks brought by them are extremely great.
Looking at the 8 districts and cities along the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, there are more than 700 chemical companies and 117 chemical docks in this area.
The average daily flow of hazardous chemicals transport ships reaches 500 times, and the annual transit volume of hazardous chemicals exceeds 2 100 million tons, which brings huge environmental risks to the centralized drinking water sources distributed along the river.

The water sources of the eight cities mentioned above are mainly taken from the Yangtze River.
Based on the statistics of the most recent searchable time point, of the 54 chemical industrial parks in Jiangsu province, 24 are located along the Yangtze River, which is intricately connected with drinking water sources.

Faced with this situation, on May 19 this year, a total of 83 people from 13 inspection teams dispatched by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment were stationed in Jiangsu to implement the first round of inspections for the special operation of centralized drinking water source environmental protection operations in accordance with the requirements of the central government.
"The central inspection team has provided its own technical force, and we are only leading the way.
" A local official in Jiangsu told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter.

Enterprises outside the park are difficult to govern

According to the new round of Jiangsu's chemical industry adjustment plan, and in accordance with the principle of industrial gradient transfer, 20% of production capacity along the river and inland areas will be upgraded and transferred to the coast, making its main business income accounted for more than 40%.
Therefore, in the adjustment of industrial structure, more than 60% of Jiangsu's traditional chemical inventory must be adjusted and optimized, outdated production capacity should be eliminated, and excess production capacity should be reduced by more than 10%.

"On the one hand, there are still many realities of backward technology and low-end projects; on the other hand, the rate of enterprises entering the park is not high.
" A scholar from Nanjing University of Technology who is engaged in chemical and environmental research talked about the current Jiangsu Chemical Industry Tell the reporter of 21st Century Business Herald about the problems that the factory faces.
Based on the latter index, the average admission rate of more than 6,300 chemical companies is about 30%-40%, and the average admission rate in some areas is even about 10%.

In addition, according to statistics from the Economic and Information Technology Commission of Jiangsu Province, as of December 2012, there were 7894 chemical production enterprises in Jiangsu, of which 5633 were outside the chemical park (concentration area), accounting for 71.
36% of the total.

This also means that although thousands of companies have been shut down in recent years, for a long period of time, chemical production companies outside the park will remain the backbone of the industry.
How to arrange these companies directly affects the development of Jiangsu's petrochemical industry.

According to the second round of special rectification of chemical production enterprises initiated in January 2010 in Jiangsu Province, the need to "guide chemical enterprises to enter the park" and "actively guide scattered chemical production enterprises to gradually concentrate to meet the overall land use planning and urban Planning, conforming to the industrial positioning, passing the regional environmental impact assessment, and having complete environmental and safety infrastructure chemical parks or chemical concentrated areas".

So, is it because companies are reluctant to enter the park?

Some relevant practitioners told reporters that in accordance with the requirements of transformation and upgrading and the limitation of land stock, the chemical park has greatly raised the barriers to entry and proposed indicators such as output, taxation, and investment per unit of land area.
This is conducive to large investment.
As a major supplier of basic chemical products, large projects can quickly increase local GDP and tax contributions, but for specialty chemical companies and small but sophisticated R&D and start-up high-tech companies, it cannot be achieved.

On the other hand, it is the cost of admission, which is concentrated on capital, market and labor costs.
In particular, the relocation of enterprises will receive corresponding land replacement compensation and relevant encouragement policy support funds.
However, in the actual operation process, these funds are often not fully or timely compensated in place, and the construction of new projects cannot proceed as planned, which brings huge funds.

Prevent "one size fits all"

From the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017, Jiangsu introduced the "263" environmental improvement special action, that is, "two reductions, six reductions and three improvements": "two reductions" refer to "reduction of total coal consumption and reduction of backward chemical production capacity.
" Among the 11 specific tasks, the reduction of outdated chemical production capacity has the greatest impact on the market, and the chemical parks that have been built in various places have become the most important carriers.

According to the "Notice of Jiangsu Province on Promoting the Implementation Plan for the Relocation and Reconstruction of Hazardous Chemicals Production Enterprises in Dense Urban Areas", in principle, the main urban areas, urban-rural areas, town centers, town-rural areas, and special areas are all urban densely populated areas (specialized areas).
Except for chemical parks and concentrated areas), all small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises with major hidden risks will start relocation and transformation by the end of December 2018, and complete the relocation by the end of 2020 (the closure and withdrawal will be completed by the end of 2018).

"We have made plans to cancel the positioning of the chemical park.
" The head of Touzao Township, Dongtai City, Yancheng told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter.
Touzao Town achieved GDP just over 100 million yuan in 2017.
In the high-tech park under the jurisdiction of the town government, the original 13 chemical companies contributed about 30% of the town’s GDP and tax.

According to the information transmitted by the Dongtai City (county-level city) government through public opinion in the first quarter of 2018, the city’s 85 kilometers of coastline serves as a “lifeline” and the chemical industry must be withdrawn to achieve “zero chemical industry” across the world.

The reporter learned during the interview that the Touzao Town government was willing to accept the cancellation of the park’s positioning for three main reasons: First, the economic contribution brought by the chemical industry was not a large proportion; second, after multiple rounds of guidance and policy support.
, The vast majority of enterprises reached an agreement with the government, each completed the "advance and retreat", or closed the enterprise retired, or renewed the industry, and some transformation enterprises have been mass-produced; third, the higher-level government will take into account the actual situation, the The economic growth impact of the implementation of environmental protection will be considered and taken care of.

However, during the survey, a wall paint company practitioner in the High-tech Park in Touzao Town, Dongtai City told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, “We are still in communication with the government.
We are in favor of protecting the environment, but Under the market economy, the advancement and retreat of enterprises should be based on business.
"

He believes that "the government should promote it in different categories in the implementation, and it is better to give a certain period of advance and retreat.

"It is necessary to allow enterprises to have a certain buffer period, not one size fits all.
" Mr.
Lu, the above-mentioned investor who has been engaged in the production of wall paints in Touzao Town for 10 years, emphasized, "Enterprises must respond to the central government's spirit of protecting the ecological environment and local governments.
However, can companies that meet environmental protection requirements refer to the bottom-line requirements of the Jiangsu Provincial Government-withdraw all by the end of 2018?"

This demand is similar to the situation that occurred in the surrounding Taihu Lake in the last round of environmental remediation in Jiangsu (using the most stringent national and local pollutant emission standards), that is, due to historical reasons, many leading chemical companies are located within the "red line of environmental protection.
" , Not in the park, but the projects are the latest equipment in the world and meet various requirements such as environmental protection emissions.
In this regard, Jiangsu Province is still studying.

Regarding the question raised by Mr.
Lu, the person in charge of the local government told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, “This is a case, and it is not an administrative act of compulsory shutdown.
It is the government’s acquisition of the company’s assets, and the two sides are still negotiating.

The person in charge of the Touzao Township government told reporters that business operations and employee placement have been used as the "cost" for the government to guide the company’s advancement and retreat.
However, in the interview, most of the local chemical workers made arrangements for the government because of their older age and difficulty adapting to new jobs.
I don't agree with the job, especially the "salary".

The latest news shows that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has specially studied and formulated the "Prohibition of "One Size" Work Opinions on Environmental Protection.
The work opinions clearly prohibit "one size fits all" and strictly prohibit perfunctory responses such as "all shutdowns" and "stop first, then talk", and resolutely avoid concentrated shutdowns.
Simple and rude behaviors such as suspension of business and production.
