Wang Zhongtian, Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment
Friends of the press:
Good afternoon everyone! I am very glad to have the opportunity to introduce the situation of ecological civilization construction, ecological environment protection and pollution prevention and control in the province. First of all, on behalf of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, thank you for your long-term concern, support, participation and help in the province’s ecological environment protection work.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to the construction of ecological civilization and the protection of ecological environment, treating the construction of ecological civilization as a major political issue related to the Party’s mission and purpose and a major social issue related to people’s livelihood, and continuously promoting historic, turning and overall changes in the protection of ecological environment. The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is not only a crucial five-year period for building a well-off society in an all-round way, but also a crucial five-year period for comprehensively promoting ecological environmental protection and deepening the battle against pollution. In the past five years, under the correct guidance of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, and under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the whole province has made concerted efforts to overcome difficulties, comprehensively strengthened ecological environmental protection, and made every effort to fight the battle against pollution. The task of the three-year action plan for the battle against pollution deployed by the CPC Central Committee ended successfully, and the nine binding indicators determined in the national "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" were fully completed. As determined by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, by 2020, the air environment quality and water environment quality of the whole province will be comprehensive. In the past five years, the environmental quality of the province has improved significantly, the development of ecological environmental protection has continued to improve, and the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security of a good ecological environment has generally increased.
In the past five years, we have built a comprehensive pollution prevention and control system. A leading group for the tough battle against pollution was set up with the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor as the "double leader", and a series of documents such as "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening Ecological Environmental Protection in an All-round Way and Resolutely Fighting the Tough Battle against Pollution" were issued, 35 local regulations and 22 local standards for ecological environmental protection were formulated, and a series of systems such as the list of responsibilities of the provincial party committee and the provincial government and relevant departments for ecological environmental protection, green dispatching, ecological compensation and ranking interviews were established. The secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor openly interviewed cities and counties with lower air quality rankings.
In the past five years, we have resolutely won the blue sky defense war. Pay close attention to structural optimization and adjustment, and eliminate 6 million kilowatts of backward coal-fired generator sets and 162,000 diesel trucks of Grade III and below; In-depth development of "three scattered" governance, the completion of "double substitution" of more than 5.4 million households, the seizure of 35,300 coal-fired scattered burning facilities and equipment, and the rectification and ban of "scattered pollution" enterprises of 120,000; Deepen the governance of industrial enterprises, take the lead in completing the ultra-low emission transformation of thermal power industry in China, and complete 31,000 governance projects such as non-electric industries and industrial furnaces. Compared with 2015, the five factors of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, CO and NO2 in the province decreased by 34.6%, 32.5%, 73.5%, 50% and 21.1% respectively, and the days of heavy pollution decreased by 60%. There are more and more blue sky and less smog.
In the past five years, we have solidly promoted the defense of clear water. Strengthening the management of water resources, water ecology and water environment, pollution reduction and ecological expansion, the proportion of surface water whose national control section is better than Class III water quality increased by 25.5 percentage points, and 144 black and odorous water bodies in the built-up areas of provincial cities were all eliminated, of which 141 were recognized as "long-term clean-up" by the state. The former stinking ditch has become a landscape belt with clear water and green banks. The water quality of surface drinking water sources in the province reaches the standard rate of 100%, and the Danjiangkou reservoir area and the Henan section of the main canal of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project continue to maintain the water quality above Class II, ensuring the drinking water safety of the people in our province and along the line.
In the past five years, we have carried out the defense of pure land in depth. Through detailed investigation of soil pollution status of agricultural land, strict classification and control of agricultural land, strict access management of construction land, and strengthening investigation and rectification of heavy metal enterprises, the safe utilization rate of polluted cultivated land and the safe utilization rate of construction land in the province have all achieved 100%.
Although remarkable achievements have been made in ecological environmental protection in our province, the structural pollution problem has not fundamentally changed, ecological environmental risks still exist, environmental violations occur from time to time, and the task of ecological environmental protection and pollution prevention and control is still arduous.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it is a crucial period for our province to start a new journey of building a socialist modern Henan in an all-round way and write a more brilliant chapter of the Central Plains in the new era. We will thoroughly implement the supreme leader’s thought of ecological civilization, adhere to the direction of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council’s decision-making arrangements and the work arrangements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, focus on precise pollution control, scientific pollution control and pollution control according to law, fight a tough battle for pollution prevention and control, continuously improve environmental quality, continuously reduce pollutant emissions and effectively prevent and control pollution. Focus on the following aspects.
The first is to continuously improve the atmospheric environment. Taking the synergistic effect of pollution reduction and carbon reduction as the overall starting point, taking the coordinated control of fine particles and ozone as the main line, focusing on the coordinated emission reduction of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, strengthening the coordinated control of multiple pollutants, implementing joint prevention and control in key areas, focusing on reducing PM2.5 and ozone, and continuing to do a good job in "seven controls": dust control, coal control, vehicle control, emission control, oil control, burning control and fireworks control, basically eliminating heavily polluted weather and continuously improving the environment.
The second is to steadily improve the water environment. The key point is to increase good water and ecological water, and control poor water and black and smelly water. We will continue to push forward the attack on water ecological environment protection, continue to do a good job in landmark battles such as water source protection, black and odorous water body treatment, river and lake ecological environment treatment and restoration, further promote the "three sources" treatment of industrial sources, domestic sources and agricultural sources, fill the shortcomings of urban sewage collection and treatment facilities, vigorously promote the construction of beautiful rivers and lakes, orderly promote the remediation of black and odorous water bodies in the built-up areas of county towns, stably eliminate inferior V water bodies, effectively ensure the safety of people’s drinking water, and ensure that the middle route project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project "one channel is clean
The third is to ensure the quality of soil environment. We will continue to push forward the attack on soil pollution prevention and control, focus on key areas, key industries, key pollutants and key risk factors, work together to promote the environmental control of soil, rural areas and groundwater, actively carry out the construction of a pioneering area for comprehensive prevention and control of soil pollution, strengthen the source control and safe use of soil pollution in agricultural land, promote the risk control and management of construction land, ensure the safe use of agricultural land and construction land, and let the people "eat with peace of mind and live with peace of mind".
The fourth is to improve the rural living environment. We will continue to carry out the comprehensive improvement of rural human settlements, intensify the treatment of domestic sewage in rural areas, strengthen the prevention and control of planting and breeding pollution, investigate and rectify the black and odorous water bodies in rural areas, build beautiful countryside, and keep the birds singing and the flowers fragrant and the rural scenery for the people.
The fifth is to maintain the safety of ecological environment. Firmly establish the bottom line awareness and risk awareness, keep a close eye on key areas such as "one waste, one warehouse and one product" (hazardous waste, tailings pond and chemicals), continuously carry out special rectification of hazardous waste, enhance the capacity of collection, disposal and utilization of hazardous waste, deepen the investigation and rectification of potential environmental risks in tailings pond, strengthen the comprehensive management of heavy metal pollution in key industries, strictly enforce the law and supervise the ecological environment, actively respond to sudden environmental incidents, prevent and resolve ecological environmental risks in time, and protect people’s physical and mental health.
Thank you!

Thank you, Director Wang, for your detailed release! Next is the on-site questioning session. Welcome journalists and friends to ask questions about the relevant contents of this press conference. Please inform your news media before asking questions.
Xinhuanet reporter
The safety of drinking water quality has always been highly concerned by the masses. As the head of the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the core water source area, what specific measures will be taken to implement the spirit of the important speech delivered by the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the symposium on promoting the high-quality development of the follow-up project of South-to-North Water Diversion Project and ensuring the "sustainable delivery of clear water from one canal to the north"? Thank you.
Shi Wei, first-class inspector of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment
Thank you for your question. The water surface area of Danjiangkou reservoir area, the water source of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, is 1050 square kilometers, which is 506 square kilometers in our province, accounting for 48.2%. In 2015, the water source protection zone was demarcated in our province, with the first-class and second-class protection zones covering an area of about 300 square kilometers, and boundary demarcation and marking were completed, and boundary markers, warning signs, billboards, purse seines, no navigation signs and so on were set up. The catchment area covers 6 counties (cities) and 47 townships in Xichuan, Xixia, Neixiang, Dengzhou, Luanchuan and Lushi, three provincial cities in Nanyang, Luoyang and Sanmenxia, with a total drainage area of 7,815 square kilometers. There are five main rivers in storage. The total length of the main water conveyance canal is 1432 kilometers, including 731 kilometers in our province, passing through 8 provincial cities.
The key to the success or failure of South-to-North Water Transfer Project lies in water quality. As the head of the middle route project, the core water source area and the important water receiving area, our province has attached great importance to the pollution control and ecological environment protection and restoration along the water source protection area, catchment area and main water conveyance canal in Danjiangkou reservoir area since the water was put into use, resolutely shouldered the political responsibility of "delivering clean water from one canal to the north permanently", adopted a series of measures and done a lot of work to protect a reservoir of clear water and protect the water quality, and the water quality of Taocha water intake and the exit water from Henan Province continued to be kept at Class II and above standards.
On May 14th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader hosted a symposium in Nanyang to promote the high-quality development of the follow-up project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project and delivered an important speech. The party group of our office organized serious study and studied and implemented the opinions for the first time. The next step is to take six measures or do a good job in six aspects:
First, cooperate with the development and reform departments to carefully evaluate the implementation of the 13th Five-Year Plan for water pollution prevention and soil and water conservation in Danjiangkou reservoir area and its upstream, carefully analyze the existing problems and deficiencies, speed up the preparation and implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and plan to implement a number of engineering projects.
Second, continue to organize pollution control and ecological environment protection and restoration along the water source protection area, catchment area and water main canal in Danjiangkou reservoir area, and promote the standardized construction of protected areas.
Third, continue to organize and strengthen water quality monitoring, pollution source monitoring and supervision and law enforcement, and severely punish environmental violations.
Fourth, earnestly implement the "three lines and one order" ecological environment zoning control requirements, strictly control the environmental access of new projects, and strictly prohibit the launch of "two high" projects that do not meet the requirements.
Fifth, increase support and guidance services to Nanyang and other related places to promote green transformation and high-quality development.
Sixth, strengthen joint prevention and control, strengthen risk prevention, and ensure the water quality safety of the middle route project of South-to-North Water Transfer. Thank you!

Ozone pollution has always been the focus and difficulty of common people’s attention in summer. At present, it will enter June soon. What measures will Henan take to effectively block this pollution? Thank you.
Jiao Fei, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment
Thank you for your question. First of all, let me introduce ozone and ozone pollution. Ozone is one of the main control factors in China’s atmospheric environmental quality standards, and its standard is based on the standard value of the second phase of WHO, with the maximum 8-hour average concentration of 160ug/m3. Under the conditions of high temperature and light in summer, a large number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from production and life react with nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the atmosphere, resulting in ozone pollution. Ozone is corrosive, and excessive concentration will do harm to human respiratory tract, immune system and skin. The maximum number of days when ozone exceeds the standard in summer in our province exceeds 20%, and ozone pollution has become an important factor affecting the ambient air quality in summer and autumn in our province. In the summer of 2020, our province launched the attack on the prevention and control of ozone pollution. From June to September, the number of excellent days in the province was 91, an increase of 30 days over the same period of last year, and the effect was obvious.
Second, introduce the overall consideration of ozone control this year. As volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important precursors of ozone (O3), strengthening the comprehensive treatment of VOCs is an important way to control ozone pollution and improve ambient air quality, and it is also an important task to fight a tough battle for pollution prevention and control during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. The overall consideration this year is to adhere to the pollution control route of "source prevention and control, process management and terminal treatment". Focus on key areas (urban built-up areas, 46 VOCs-related industrial parks and 36 VOCs-related enterprise clusters), key time periods (the O3 concentration indicated in the forecast is 155-170μ g/m3), key industries (petrochemical, chemical, industrial painting, packaging and printing, oil storage and sales) and key enterprises (involving the use and use of high-activity VOCs such as aromatic hydrocarbons, olefins, alkynes and aldehydes).
Third, introduce the main measures taken in this summer’s ozone pollution prevention and control campaign. The first is to carry out the "one city, one policy" stagnation point tracking research on the coordinated prevention and control of PM2.5 and O3 pollution. This year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China launched the "one city, one policy" follow-up research work on coordinated prevention and control of PM2.5 and O3 pollution. Our province seized the opportunity and actively strived for it. Eighteen municipal cities in our province were included in the national and provincial follow-up research plans, and 13 were included in the national and provincial stations. The remaining five were stationed in the province. Its main task was to study the ozone generation mechanism, put forward policy suggestions and guide the in-depth control, which will comprehensively improve the level of coordinated prevention and control of PM2.5 and O3 pollution in our province. The second is to carry out VOCs governance compliance actions. The whole process of VOCs emission control and supervision will be carried out in key industries, enterprise clusters and parks in the province, as well as oil storage and transportation, and VOCs emission in key industries, key fields and key areas will be greatly reduced through measures such as source substitution, governance upgrading, waste gas collection and management, and LDAR. The third is to carry out accurate forecasting and scientific control of ozone pollution. Strengthen research and judgment, accurately forecast meteorological conditions prone to ozone generation, scientifically carry out ozone pollution control and joint prevention and control, and reduce VOCs emission and ozone generation in key periods by reasonably adjusting the production time of VOCs-related enterprises, outdoor VOCs-related construction work time, oil loading and unloading time of gas stations and various activities that are easy to discharge VOCs.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) come from all aspects of production and life, and ozone pollution concerns you, me and him. We propose that governments at all levels and relevant departments take active actions to organize and implement VOCs governance and ozone control; VOCs-related enterprises (units) actively fulfill the social responsibility and main responsibility of air pollution prevention and control, comprehensively improve the level of governance, and conscientiously implement peak shifting production (construction) and control measures; Starting from their surroundings, the masses use environmentally-friendly architectural coatings, low organic solvent-based wood paints and adhesives, adopt clean energy, low oil smoke, low pollution and low energy consumption, do not burn straw and garbage, adhere to green travel, and refuel vehicles at night (from 20: 00 to 6: 00) to comprehensively reduce volatile organic compounds emissions and ozone generation.
Breathe together and struggle together. This summer, start from me and act together to protect the blue sky and health! thank you
Henan daily, top journalist
Our province is a populous province and a new industrial province, which is in an important period of accelerating new industrialization and urbanization, with high utilization intensity of construction land and high pollution risk. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, how will our province fight the defense of pure land, and what measures will be taken to strictly manage the access to construction land, further ensure the safety of human settlements and ensure the people’s "peace of mind"? Thank you.
Wang Chaojun, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment.
Thank you for your questions! Soil is the material basis of sustainable economic and social development, and the quality of soil environment is related to people’s health. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, our province actively promoted the pure land defense war, and the soil environmental risks in the province were effectively controlled, and the overall soil environmental quality remained stable. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will conscientiously implement the supreme leader’s thought of ecological civilization, fight the tough battle of soil pollution prevention and control, effectively control the environmental risks of agricultural land and construction land, and provide a good environmental guarantee for the construction of beautiful Henan. Mainly from three aspects to ensure the people’s "peace of mind":
(a) continue to carry out the investigation of contaminated sites. In conjunction with the relevant departments, conduct a comprehensive investigation and investigation on the enterprises involved in soil pollution that have been shut down and relocated, and ensure that the contaminated sites are brought into supervision and should be managed. Priority control was given to 142 high-risk plots identified by enterprise land survey, 59 enterprises in production were included in key supervision units, and 83 closed and relocated enterprises were included in the list management of contaminated plots. Supervise 876 key soil pollution supervision units in the province to implement their legal obligations, complete a hidden danger investigation of soil and groundwater pollution in 2021, and rectify problems in time to prevent new soil pollution.
(2) Strict access management for soil utilization. In conjunction with natural resources, housing, urban and rural construction and other departments to implement joint supervision, focusing on the "three barriers." The first is to close the source of good planning. The preparation of national land spatial planning fully considers the environmental risks of polluted plots, reasonably determines the land use, and prevents the environmental risks of human settlements from the planning level. The second is strict land transfer. When purchasing, storing and transferring land, full consideration should be given to the suspected contaminated plots of construction land, the contaminated plots and the environmental risks of converting heavily polluted agricultural land into construction land. If the land fails to meet the requirements for the redevelopment and utilization of soil environment for construction land, land supply will not be granted. The third is to strictly observe the start of construction. When issuing planning permits and construction permits for construction projects, it is not allowed to start construction for suspected contaminated plots and contaminated plots that fail to carry out related activities such as soil risk control and remediation as required.
(3) Strengthen soil risk management and remediation. Rigid implementation of the construction land soil pollution risk control and restoration directory system, the province’s 637 suspected contaminated plots, 60 contaminated plots in accordance with the law to carry out pollution risk control and restoration activities, the plots listed in the directory shall not be used as residential, public management and public service land, and resolutely prevent the occurrence of "toxic plots." Thank you!

Energy is not only an important basic industry related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, but also a key area of air pollutant emission control. What progress has our province made in promoting the adjustment of energy structure and helping to fight the battle against pollution? What work will be focused on during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period? Thank you.
Ally Li, Second Inspector of Provincial Development and Reform Commission.
Thanks to the attention and support of media friends. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the Provincial Development and Reform Commission has conscientiously studied and implemented the ecological civilization thought of the supreme leader, implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, the provincial party committee and the provincial government on resolutely fighting the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and promoted the adjustment of energy structure in our province to achieve remarkable results.
The first is to further promote the "double control" of energy consumption. Strictly reduce coal consumption and replace it, and pay close attention to energy conservation in key areas. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the energy consumption per unit of GDP in our province decreased by about 25%, and the total coal consumption decreased by about 18%, exceeding the target tasks assigned by the state. Our province’s coal consumption reduction work, energy consumption intensity and total "double control" work have been repeatedly praised by the state. The second is to vigorously develop renewable energy. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the province added 27.55 million kilowatts of renewable energy and 32.51 million kilowatts of renewable energy. In 2020, the power generation from renewable energy sources will reach 44.23 billion kWh, up 18.3% year-on-year. The third is to strengthen the guarantee of natural gas supply. The first phase of Puyang Wen23 gas storage and six LNG emergency reserve center projects in eastern Henan, southern Henan, northern Henan, central Henan, southwestern Henan and western Henan were completed. The total mileage of long-distance natural gas pipelines reached 6,546 kilometers, and the natural gas consumption reached 54.3 billion cubic meters during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period. The fourth is to optimize and upgrade coal-fired units. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, 6 million kilowatts of backward coal-fired power units were shut down, and the proportion of thermal power installed capacity in the province fell to 68%, and the proportion of large green coal-fired power units with 600,000 kilowatts and above increased to 65%. The average coal consumption of coal-fired power units in the province fell to 300 g/kWh, which was better than the national average. Fifth, efforts should be made to increase the introduction of clean energy. The project of "Green Power Entering Henan" was completed and put into operation. In 2020, the province absorbed 60.08 billion kWh of foreign power, up 9.54 percentage points year-on-year and 5.23 billion kWh.It accounts for 17.7% of the total electricity consumption. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, it absorbed 245 billion kWh of foreign power. Sixth, we will continue to implement clean heating. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, 5.48 million households have been "double-substituted", with a cumulative increase of 250 million square meters of central heating capacity and 68 million square meters of geothermal heating capacity. The northern region has achieved full coverage of clean heating.
In the next step, our Committee will take the goal of "peak carbon dioxide emissions, carbon neutral" as the guide, accelerate the preparation of the energy plan during the 14th Five-Year Plan, make great efforts to promote the "double control" of energy consumption and the reduction of coal consumption, continuously expand the scale of renewable energy construction, comprehensively improve the natural gas supply guarantee capacity, further optimize the coal-fired power structure, actively plan the third channel for foreign electricity to enter Henan, continuously promote the optimization and adjustment of the energy structure in the province, and enhance the energy supply guarantee capacity, so as to achieve the 14th Five-Year Plan. thank you

We have learned that the Provincial Housing and Construction Department, as the lead department of dust prevention and control in the province, has successively formulated and promulgated a series of policies, standards and norms, which have achieved good results. Please tell us about the relevant situation and the specific work measures for the next step. Thank you.
Li Xuejun, chief engineer of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development
Thank you for your question. In recent years, under the guidance of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, and under the strong leadership of the provincial leading group office for pollution prevention and control, the Provincial Housing and Construction Department has successively issued relevant opinions on supporting the transformation and development of the construction industry, developing supporting policies for prefabricated buildings, and standards for dust pollution prevention and control, especially adopting differentiated control measures such as engineering classification, enterprise classification, and process exemption, and achieved better results. By the end of 2020, the main and secondary trunk roads in cities under provincial jurisdiction and counties (cities) directly under provincial administration will basically achieve full coverage of mechanized cleaning; The annual disposal capacity of construction waste resources exceeds 65 million tons; More than 23 million square meters of prefabricated building projects have been implemented, and green buildings account for more than 55%; The newly added green area in the urban built-up area of the province is 5981 hectares, with a green rate of 36.3%.
In the next step, we will further refine the measures, further promote and upgrade, and continue to do a good job in dust prevention and control. First, continue to do a good job in construction dust control. Strictly implement the "six hundred percent" dust control measures and the "three-member" management, video monitoring and other systems, focus on dust control of linear projects such as earthwork excavation, demolition site and municipal administration, do a good job in performance rating by industry, time period and pollution source, and focus on supervision of urban-rural fringe, night construction, muck removal and disposal. The second is to focus on improving the level of city appearance and environmental sanitation. Continue to carry out urban clean-up operations, strengthen regional environmental governance in back streets, old communities, villages in the city, and solve problems such as littering and sewage dumping; Investigate and rectify the surrounding environmental sanitation problems such as garbage dumps (stations), public toilets and farmers’ markets, and eliminate hidden dangers such as virus and bacteria breeding and cross-contamination. The third is to further promote the construction of urban ecological gardens. We will focus on greening old urban areas and improving the quality of parks and green spaces, coordinate the implementation of small parks, street green spaces and ecological corridors, and accelerate the construction of urban three-dimensional greening. By 2021, cities and counties in the province will build more than 3,000 hectares of parks, add more than 430,000 square meters of roofs and vertical greening, and build (rebuild and upgrade) more than 500 kilometers of urban green corridors. Fourth, continue to deepen the treatment of urban catering oil fume pollution. Supervise and guide all localities to strengthen the daily inspection of the operation and emission of lampblack prevention facilities in catering service places, and the monthly inspection rate is not less than 20%; Increase the catering service units in large-scale catering service units or key areas,In particular, the frequency and density of repeated inspections of catering units, the monthly inspection rate is not less than 25%. Fifth, actively carry out the creation of green buildings. Vigorously develop prefabricated buildings and promote the intelligent upgrading of building parts and components. Study and establish the framework of green building policy, technology and implementation system, and issue technical guidelines and pricing basis for green building. Organize the formulation of the peak carbon dioxide emissions Action Plan for the construction industry, strictly implement the mandatory standards for energy efficiency of civil buildings, and promote the development of ultra-low, near-zero and zero-energy buildings. thank you

When talking about the prevention and control of air pollution in rural areas, everyone will think of straw burning ban. What is the effect of straw burning ban in the province during the 13th Five-Year Plan? What specific measures will be implemented during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period? Thank you.
Ren Xinjun, Chief Animal Pastor of Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs
Thank you for your question. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the whole province insisted on focusing on grasping, grasping normally and continuously, and the straw burning ban achieved remarkable results. In summer and autumn, the number of straw burning fire spots decreased from 66 in 2016 to 13 in 2020, with an overall decrease of 80%; Since the full-time ban on burning in 2019, all kinds of burning fires have declined for two consecutive years: by 32% and 18% respectively. The comprehensive utilization rate of straw in the province will increase from 86% in 2016 to over 90% in 2020. In the first four months of this year, all kinds of burning fires dropped by 19%, which strongly supported the prevention and control of air pollution in our province.
At the same time, we are soberly aware that the atmosphere of self-ban and active ban on burning has not yet been fully formed, and we must be mentally prepared for a protracted war. Therefore, we must adhere to successful practices, carry forward the style of continuous operations, and continue to work hard to ban burning accurately, scientifically and legally, so as to ensure new results in this year’s and the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" straw ban. Main measures:
First, earnestly perform their duties. Under the correct leadership of local Party committees and governments, agricultural and rural departments at all levels should actively play a leading role, refine their work measures, strengthen cooperation with public security, ecological environment, discipline inspection and supervision departments, and make concerted efforts to form a strong driving force according to their respective functions.
The second is to highlight rapid control. Strengthen grid control and uninterrupted inspection and patrol of key areas and blind spots; Use the "Blue Sky Guardian" monitoring system to strengthen the duty of the four-level monitoring platform; Focus on villages and towns, and constantly improve the ability of rapid response and disposal. Adhere to the organic combination of civil air defense technology and defense, so as to find the fire in time, dispatch and dispose it quickly, and eliminate the burning fire and hidden dangers in the bud.

Continue to carry out publicity and education in a way that the masses like, and strengthen the self-discipline of village rules and regulations. We will continue to implement effective measures such as job interviews, disciplinary actions, economic and administrative penalties, investigate and punish the igniters and those responsible for burning according to law, expose warnings, create a shock, create an atmosphere of "no burning", consolidate the situation of "no burning" and build a mechanism of "no burning".
The fourth is to promote comprehensive utilization. Make full use of the existing policies for comprehensive utilization of straw, create new support policies in combination with the actual situation, increase capital investment, strengthen the implementation of various comprehensive utilization projects and the popularization and application of new technologies, continuously support and expand market players, open up interest chains, improve industrial chains, and achieve win-win results for all parties. By returning livestock to the field through abdomen, we can optimize the utilization structure of straw, improve soil fertility, and promote the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry and green development. thank you

That’s all for today’s on-site questioning session. If you have other concerns that need further understanding, you can contact the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment for an in-depth interview after the conference.
Building ecological civilization is related to people’s well-being and the future of the nation. It needs the support and help of the media to build a national system of ecological environment governance and promote the formation of a working situation in which everyone cares, supports and participates in ecological environment protection. I hope that everyone will continue to pay attention to the development of environmental protection in our province, reflect the concerns of the masses, focus on the effectiveness of work, do a good job in news reporting from all directions and angles, and create a good public opinion atmosphere for comprehensively promoting the high-quality development of environmental protection during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.
This concludes today’s press conference. Thank you, publishers, journalists and friends, goodbye!
