The meeting pointed out that in recent years, according to the idea of "maintaining stability, preventing rebound, building a long-term effect and promoting the root cause", the city has implemented the management system of "government-led, water-led, department-led and social participation", and implemented the management mechanism of "source management, department joint, regional linkage, combination of dredging and blocking, and whole-process control". Through the special regulation of illegal sand mining in rivers in recent years, the management of sand mining in rivers in the whole city has stepped into the track of scientific standardization according to law.
The meeting emphasized that the first is to raise awareness of the importance of river sand mining management. We should earnestly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions on inspecting Hubei and protecting the Yangtze River, and consciously use Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought to guide the management of sand mining. As an important work of river basin comprehensive management, river sand mining is included in the assessment of county and urban leadership, and also included in the assessment content of river basin comprehensive management, so we should firmly hold the safety bottom line of water safety and water environment; second, we should do a good job in safety production. It is necessary to consolidate the main responsibility of sand mining owners, strengthen on-site supervision, strengthen joint law enforcement, and ensure safe production in all sand mining links. Third, it is necessary to crack down on illegal sand mining. To maintain a high-pressure crackdown on illegal sand mining, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection frequency of key river sections, sensitive waters, and centralized berthing points for sand mining vessels. To enhance the awareness of sand management according to law, we must permit according to law, act according to procedures, and standardize the behavior of sand mining in rivers; Fourth, we should pay attention to publicity and guidance. We should increase the publicity of relevant laws and regulations such as the Yangtze River Protection Law and the Regulations on Sand Mining Management in Hubei Province, and increase the publicity of the society and the people along the river through various forms, so as to create a good atmosphere of public opinion.
