Fujian's ecological environmental protection law enforcement has repeatedly achieved good results, leading the country——

"Iron Wrist" Guard Green Water and Green Mountains

On March 29, Southeast Net (Fujian Daily reporter Chen Min) recently, the assessment results of the 2023 national ecological environment protection law enforcement training were announced, and Fujian ranked second in the country. So far, our province has become the only province ranking among the top three in China for eight consecutive years. At the same time, the collective of 10 cities and counties and 10 law enforcement officers in our province were rated as national advanced, with the largest number in China.

The law enforcement training is a comprehensive test of the comprehensive quality of the law enforcement team for ecological environmental protection, the effectiveness of law enforcement and the ecological environmental protection work. Behind the outstanding achievements is that our province has continuously optimized the way and improved the efficiency in the ecological environmental protection law enforcement work for many years, and written the responsibility of "ecological guardian" in the beautiful mountains and waters of Fujian.

Be unafraid of difficulties and dangers

"Zero tolerance" to investigate and deal with environmental violations

Recently, the environmental quality of the whole province was released in January this year, and the overall water quality of the main river basins was excellent; The average number of days with good ambient air quality in the nine cities with districts is 97.8%, and the proportion of domestic drinking water sources reaching the standard is 100%... For Fujian, "ecological top students", there is almost no suspense to maintain high environmental scores.

Behind the steady improvement of the ecological environment quality over the years is Fujian's persistent green development determination, and also inseparable from the silent defense of the "iron army of environmental protection".

In July 2023, Fujian Longyan Xinluo, Yongding, Zhangping, Fuzhou Luoyuan; Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong... In 5 cities and 8 counties of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, a large criminal gang that burned electronic waste and polluted the environment was caught simultaneously. Subsequently, 12 illegal incineration electronic waste dens, 4 storage sites, more than 5000 tons of electronic waste and hazardous waste products were seized

"The illegal smelting of electronic waste has great harm to water, gas and soil." Chen Zhihui, the head of the Natural Ecology Law Enforcement Section of the Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Law Enforcement Corps, told reporters that in order to solve the case, the Provincial Ecological and Environmental Department and the Provincial Public Security Department set up a joint task force.

Across many cities, Chen Zhihui and his colleagues carried out a comprehensive survey of the whole chain. After more than half a year, this industrial chain of hazardous waste environmental crimes has finally been cut off, 64 suspects have been arrested successively, and a preliminary investigation of 180 million yuan has been conducted.

It is the normal state of ecological environmental protection law enforcement to travel between mountains for a long time and rush in the heat. "All the members of our team charged to the front line, and the annual average number of front-line law enforcement inspections was nearly 100 days." Li Xinguo, the head of the provincial ecological and environmental protection comprehensive law enforcement team, said that in 2023, the province will investigate and deal with 2512 environmental violations, 53 suspected environmental crimes, and severely crack down on deterrent environmental violations and crimes.

Focusing on the pollution of eel and livestock breeding that affect the water quality of the basin, special law enforcement was carried out to promote the improvement of water quality in 45 provincial control sections; Focusing on the pollution of Jiulong River basin in flood season, we carried out source tracing, investigation and remediation, and promoted the improvement of water quality in five national and provincial control sections; Carry out the special action of the whole province's water source area renovation, promote the water quality of the water source area to reach the standard rate of 100%... For years, the "ecological guards" have constantly built a barrier for the environmental quality with sweat.

Scientific and accurate

Fight against counterfeiting environmental data

In recent years, the automatic monitoring of pollution sources and the falsification of data from third-party environmental protection service agencies have become a major type of environmental crimes and one of the key tasks of ecological environmental protection law enforcement.

"There are many ways to falsify pollution discharge data, and the path is wide. With the development of technology, illegal means continue to upgrade, the way is more hidden, and it is increasingly difficult to fix evidence and accurately verify. In the face of new challenges, we have to constantly hone our skills." Zhou Shuiyan, head of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Section of the Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Law Enforcement Corps, said, The Corps has prepared and issued the Key Points for the Inspection of the Third Party Environmental Protection Service Agency's Fraudulent and Illegal Behaviors, with pictures and texts to guide the "fight against fraud"; Set up a professional data analysis team to regularly analyze and compare the data of pollution sources, mobile law enforcement, pollution discharge permits, etc., dig out the clues of problems through video monitoring, power consumption monitoring, etc., and report abnormalities as soon as possible, lock in illegal acts and fix core evidence.

Constantly strengthen the level of science and technology and law enforcement, while improving the regulatory mechanism, strengthening targeted supervision, promoting the connection of execution, etc., our province scientifically and accurately "punches" on the fraud, illegal and criminal acts of automatic monitoring and third-party environmental protection service agencies.

According to statistics, 135 automatic monitoring cases will be investigated and handled in 2023, with a year-on-year increase of 66.7%; There were 111 cases of third party fraud, an increase of 362.5% year on year, ranking the third in the country. The provincial ecological and environmental protection comprehensive law enforcement team has been successively evaluated as the outstanding collective in the special action to crack down on hazardous waste environmental crimes and automatic monitoring data fraud of key pollutant discharge units, as well as the provincial advanced collective in the special fight against crime and safety construction.

Combination of hardness and softness

Law enforcement, assistance, integration and development

In the middle of January this year, the first round of supervision and assistance for the operation and maintenance of automatic monitoring equipment of key units in our province ended. 1936 key pollutant discharge units of water environment in the province have received full coverage services and troubleshooting.

"Every working day, we randomly select enterprises and technical personnel, and every two law enforcement personnel are equipped with a group of technical service personnel to enter the enterprise." Jiang Lianjia, the head of the Law Enforcement Information Section of the Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Law Enforcement Corps, said that in 2023, our province issued the first and currently the only "Fujian Province Fixed Pollution Source Automatic Monitoring and Management Measures" in the form of a provincial government order. In order to implement the Measures and help enterprises improve the management level of facility operation and maintenance, while carrying out supervision and assistance for key water environment pollutant discharge units, law enforcement inspection, problem acceptance and law popularization are carried out.

"By taking advantage of the opportunity of entering the enterprise, we improved the enterprise's awareness of abiding by the law through on-site explanation, distribution of publicity materials, targeted 'case interpretation', etc." Jiang Lianjia said that the problems found could be classified and handled, and the minor problems found for the first time could be established and rectified, and urged to be exempted from punishment according to law.

"While maintaining the strength of law enforcement, we should pay attention to improving the temperature of law enforcement." Li Xinguo said that by establishing a "positive list of law enforcement", 1681 environmental law-abiding enterprises across the province were exempted from on-site inspection; In the "Pro Clean" service platform, online face-to-face and screen to screen assistance has guided 27000 enterprises to improve their environmental management level, and 811 enterprises have been encouraged to "green lead" through credit evaluation; "Medical assistance" was carried out for 211 enterprises in 21 chemical parks in the upstream of the basin and sensitive areas, and problems were supervised one by one to boost the green development of enterprises in the parks; Inclusive and prudent supervision, minor environmental violations will be exempted from punishment and the first violation will not be punished. In 2023, 97 cases will be reduced and 97 fines will be reduced and 10.66 million yuan will be reduced.

Remember to enforce the law for the people. In 2023, the ecological and environmental protection law enforcement team will cooperate with multiple departments to solve the prominent urban dust pollution problem around the masses. "100% of the complaints received were settled on schedule, and the satisfaction rate of the masses exceeded 90%," said Chen Wei, deputy chief of the special law enforcement section of the provincial ecological and environmental protection comprehensive law enforcement team.

Cultivate and refine troops, strengthen skills, protect ecology and help development. In recent years, the Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Law Enforcement Corps has successively won the title of the 9th National "Civil Service Collective Satisfied by the People", the only "Advanced Grass roots Party Organization" in the national ecological environment system, and the title of "Advanced Collective in the National Ecological Environment System".

"We will keep in mind the ardent mandate of 'striving to build an ecological environment protection team with strong politics, high skills, hard work style and courage to take responsibility'." Li Xinguo said that he will continue to adhere to the strict tone, strengthen law enforcement and supervision, be a good ecological guardian, and make new contributions to building a beautiful Fujian.
