With the approval of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, seven provincial eco-environmental protection inspection teams were stationed in seven cities (prefectures) including Zhuzhou, Yueyang, Shaoyang, Yongzhou, Huaihua, Zhangjiajie and Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefectures in Western Hunan in mid-March to carry out the second round of routine inspections of the third batch of provincial eco-environmental protection for 20 days. Each group went deep into the front line, went deep into the scene, verified a number of prominent ecological environment problems, verified a number of formalistic and bureaucratic problems such as inaction, slow action, no responsibility, no hard work, even perfunctory response, fraud and so on. In order to strengthen the warning and deterrence and promote the rectification of problems, the second batch of seven typical cases are now centralized and publicly notified. In
March 2024, during the inspection of Zhuzhou City by the First Eco-environmental Protection Supervision Group of Hunan Province (hereinafter referred to as the Supervision Group), it was found that the implementation of air pollution prevention and control responsibilities was not in place, the implementation of industrial policies was not in place, the implementation of pollution prevention and control measures was not in place, the response to heavily polluted weather was inadequate, and the improvement of environmental air quality had a long way to go.
1. Basic situation
2. Main problems
(1) The implementation of the responsibility for air pollution prevention and control is not in place
. Under the situation that the pressure of environmental air quality improvement has been increasing since 2021, some districts and counties in Zhuzhou City have not studied the air pollution prevention and control work in depth and in detail. There is insufficient planning and research on the structural and root causes of the region. The problems of cooking fume and traffic congestion exhaust pollution in Lusong District are prominent, and the total industrial emissions in Liling City are large, but the air pollution prevention and control programs in the two places are not targeted, the problem orientation is insufficient, and the implementation of work in various fields is tired of leaving traces. The work of
relevant departments is not well promoted. Zhuzhou has the largest railway freight marshalling station in the south, and the number of berths for production is the first in the province, but the proportion of highway transportation is 90.76%, which is 3.86 percentage points higher than the average level of the province. The relevant measures of the Implementation Plan for Air Pollution Prevention and Control in the Field of Transportation have no substantive content. According to the dynamic data of diesel truck positioning of the Ministry of Transport, the average daily mileage of diesel trucks above national III in Zhuzhou City reached 950,000 kilometers in 2023, ranking third in the province. There are more than 19,000 restaurants in Zhuzhou City, and the implementation of "three management and three necessities" by the urban management department is not in place. In 2023, the city accepted 1637 complaints about lampblack pollution, accounting for 47% of the total gas-related complaints.
(2) The implementation of industrial policies is not in place
and the elimination of backward production capacity is not effective. The Catalogue of Industrial Structure Adjustment of the National Development and Reform Commission clearly stipulates that "brick and tile wheel kilns and vertical kilns, top-less wheel kilns, horseshoe kilns and other earth kilns" belong to the elimination category. Zhuzhou City has carried out the work of withdrawing backward production capacity, but the investigation is not strict, and there are still backward production capacity that the state has explicitly ordered to be eliminated. Only in Xinpu Village, Xianleshan Street, Liling City, there are five indigenous dragon kilns for firing refractory ceramics, and 12 coal-fired pusher kilns have been found on site, without pollution prevention and control facilities. Xinpu Village, Xianleshan Street
, Liling City, still has the excess capacity of Tufa Longyao
, which is explicitly eliminated by the state. According to the requirements of laws and regulations such as the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Hunan Province, Liling City issued a decision in October 2022 to close eight brick factories in the planning area according to law, but it was not actually implemented. In March 2024, the Liling Municipal Government transferred seven brick factories out of the planning area according to the Liling City Land and Space Master Plan (2021-2035), and only withdrew from the Banshan No.2 Shale Brick Factory. In fact, the plan was submitted to the provincial government in January 2024 and has not been approved so far. Inspectors found that Banshan No.2 Shale Brick Factory and Fuxing Hollow Shale Brick Factory were still in production.
(3) The implementation of pollution prevention and control measures is not in place
, and some enterprises have inefficient treatment facilities. The collection rate of organic waste gas in the injection molding process of Hunan Rixin Auto Parts Co., Ltd. is not high; the painting and drying waste gas of Zhuzhou Hongling New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is directly discharged, and the new drying and painting production line is not approved to be built first; the welding smoke and dust of Zhuzhou Kewei Material Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhongnan New Material Co., Ltd. are not collected and treated as required. Oil and gas recovery facilities
in gas stations are heavy construction and light operation and maintenance. There are 362 gas stations in Zhuzhou, and 47 of them have completed three oil and gas recovery projects in 2023. Seven gas stations (six with three oil and gas recovery facilities) were sampled and tested, and the results showed that the gas-liquid ratio of seven gas stations was not up to the standard, the tightness of four gas stations was not up to the standard, the liquid resistance of two gas stations was not up to the standard, and the environmental protection facilities did not play their due role. There are many dust pollution points in
the construction site. There are 214 construction sites in the urban area of Zhuzhou City, and remote sensing monitoring shows that there are 133 suspected bare plots of more than 5,000 square meters; there are 12 construction sites in the urban area of Liling City, and there are 20 suspected bare plots of more than 5,000 square meters.
Remote sensing monitoring shows that there are 133
suspected bare plots over 5000 square meters in the urban area of Zhuzhou City. (4) The responsibility of emergency emission reduction of
key enterprises is not fulfilled. There is only one performance-leading enterprise in 1101 enterprises of 39 key industries in Zhuzhou. According to the big data of electric power, during the orange warning period of heavy pollution from December 28 to 31, 2023, the proportion of enterprises whose electricity consumption in cement, brick and tile kilns, ceramics and other industries decreased significantly was less than 30%. The two cement mills of Huaxin Cement did not "stop one and open one" according to the emission reduction requirements, and the average concentration of nitrogen oxides in the waste gas of clinker production line exceeded the limit by 12.5%; The emission reduction measures of Zhuzhou Changjiang Special Materials Co., Ltd. were not started in time; Southern Aerospace High-precision Transmission Co., Ltd. did not limit production and reduce production as required, and the waste gas treatment facilities were not in normal operation. The control of
fireworks and firecrackers is not effective. The contingency plan of Heavily Polluted Weather in Hunan Province and the contingency plan of Heavily Polluted Weather in Zhuzhou City clearly prohibit fireworks and firecrackers during the emergency response period of Heavily Polluted Weather. Liling City did not incorporate the control of fireworks and firecrackers into the contingency plan of heavily polluted weather as required, and concentrated fireworks activities were still carried out on December 31, 2023 after the higher emergency organizations for heavy pollution required strict control of fireworks.
3. Cause analysis
Some places in Zhuzhou City have insufficient understanding of air pollution prevention and control, inadequate implementation of relevant decision-making and deployment, inadequate work of relevant departments, and inadequate implementation.
The inspection team will further investigate and verify the relevant situation, and do a good job of follow-up supervision as required. List of
