    Global Coatings Network News: In order to fully implement the decision and deployment of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on accelerating the promotion of green and low-carbon development, resolutely curb the blind development of high energy-consuming and high-emission (hereinafter referred to as "two highs") projects and promote green transformation And high-quality development, we now propose the following guidance on strengthening the prevention and control of the ecological environment of the “two highs” project


    1.


    1.


    (1) In-depth implementation of "three lines and one order"


    (2) Strengthen the effectiveness of planning environmental assessment


    2.


    (3) Strictly control the environmental access of construction projects


    (4) Implement regional reduction requirements


    (5) Reasonable division of powers


    3.


    (6) Improve the level of cleaner production and pollution prevention


    (7) Incorporate carbon emission impact assessment into the environmental impact assessment system


    4.


    (8) Strengthen the management of pollutant discharge permits


    (9) Strengthen law enforcement and supervision based on pollutant discharge permits


    Fifth, the guarantee policy is effective

    (10) Establish a management ledger
    .
    Eco-environmental departments and administrative approval departments at all levels should establish "two highs" project management ledgers, and include the "two highs" projects that will be accepted and approved from 2021 on environmental impact assessment documents and the "two highs" projects included in the plan by relevant departments, and record the project name, Basic information such as construction site, industry, construction status, environmental impact assessment document acceptance time, approval department, approval time, approval document number, etc.
    , and information related to capacity replacement should also be recorded for replacement capacity exit equipment, capacity and other information
    .
    Existing "two highs" projects were reviewed in accordance with relevant requirements
    .
    The "two highs" projects are temporarily counted in six industry categories, including coal power, petrochemical, chemical, iron and steel, non-ferrous metal smelting, and building materials.
    If there are clear regulations on the countries within the scope of the "two highs", the regulations follow
    .
    Provincial eco-environmental departments should coordinate and control the "two highs" projects in the administrative area, and report to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment by the end of October 2021, and update them every six months
    .

    .

    (11) Strengthen supervision and inspection
    .
    Local ecological and environmental departments should establish a working mechanism for the supervision and inspection of environmental impact assessment and pollution discharge permits for the "two highs" projects
    .
    For the “two highs” projects that have been approved by the grassroots ecological and environmental departments and the administrative examination and approval departments for the environmental assessment documents, the provincial ecological and environmental departments should conduct a review
    .
    For those already under construction, it is important to check whether the ecological and environmental protection measures are implemented at the same time and whether there are major changes
    .
    For those that have been put into production or use, it is also necessary to focus on the implementation of the environmental impact assessment documents and the approved ecological environmental protection measures and the reduction and substitution of key pollutant areas, as well as the application and implementation of pollution permits
    .
    The local ecological environment departments should record the problems found in the supervision and inspection into the "two highs" project management account in a timely manner
    .
    The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will further strengthen supervision and guidance
    .

    (12) Strengthen accountability
    .
    The construction unit of the "two highs" project should earnestly fulfill the main responsibility of ecological environmental protection
    .
    For the “two highs” projects that start construction without approval of the environmental impact assessment documents in accordance with the law, or where major changes occur without re-submitting the environmental assessment documents in accordance with the law, the local ecological environment department shall order the immediate suspension of construction and strictly investigate and deal with the failure to meet the ecological environment standards.
    If the conditions are met, it shall be ordered to restore the original status according to law
    .
    For the “two highs” projects that do not implement the EIA and “three simultaneous” requirements, they should be ordered to rectify as required; if they cause major environmental pollution or ecological damage, they shall be ordered to stop production or use according to law, or be reported to the authorized people’s government for order.
    Closed
    .
    If the staff of the examination and approval and supervision departments fail to perform their duties in accordance with the law or are not strictly controlled, they shall be punished in accordance with the law, causing major losses or impacts, and the relevant persons responsible shall be held accountable in accordance with the law
    .
    If the local government’s ineffective implementation of the ecological environment prevention and control measures of the “two highs” projects is prominent, regional approvals shall be implemented in accordance with the law and be included in the central and provincial ecological environmental protection inspections
