Recently, the Office of Industry and Information Technology of Ningxia Autonomous Region issued the "Announcement on the Acceptance and Sale of the Seventh Issue of the Ecological Environment Warning Film of the Yellow River Basin in 2023". The seventh issue of the ecological environment warning film of the Yellow River Basin in 2023 was checked and evaluated. After verification, the problem has implemented all the rectification measures, met the requirements of the rectification objectives, and agreed to pass the acceptance of the sales number. The problem that
needs to be rectified is that, Field investigation in November 2023 found that Ningxia Wuzhong Haolong Building Materials Co., Ltd. started construction in March 2020 and put into trial production in June 2021. The approved capacity of the project is 4500 tons per day. The actual production capacity increased to 5500 tons per day, exceeding the approved production capacity of 1000 tons per day. The goal of
rectification is to complete the replacement of production capacity and solve the problem of "increasing production capacity in violation of regulations" from the root.
Since we want to solve the problem from the root, we should first investigate the root cause. According to the list of cement clinker in the district, the technical renovation project of the new dry cement production line with a daily output of 4500 tons of clinker of Haolong Building Materials Co., Ltd. was approved in November 2011 and completed in 2021. The project first appeared on the list in 2018, and the status is under construction. The size of cement kiln is 4.7 × 68 m. After that, the list data will be interesting. There is no data on the 2019 list, the specification of the cement kiln on the 2020 list is 4.8 × 74m, the specification of the cement kiln on the 2021 and 2022 lists is 5.2 × 74m, the specification of the cement kiln on the 2023 list is 4.8 × 74m, and there is no change in the remarks (data). In November 2024, the specification of the cement kiln shown in the announcement of Ningxia Haolong Building Materials Co., Ltd. on the capacity replacement plan for the project of supplementing 1500 tons of cement clinker per day by the District Office of Industry and Information Technology was 5.0 × 74m.
Anyway, from the root of the project, "approving small and building large" is solid, and it is not simply "increasing production capacity in violation of regulations". The path of the kiln is changing from small to big. What on earth is it to avoid?
If the project starts in March 2020, the project shall implement the administrative interpretation of the Measures for the Implementation of Capacity Replacement in the Cement and Glass Industry (2017 edition) and the Questions and Answers on the Implementation of Capacity Replacement in the Cement and Glass Industry in January 2020. The Measures make it clear that enterprises that fail to implement the capacity replacement scheme, commit fraud and "approve small and build large" should be notified of their dishonest behavior and promote the implementation of joint punishment. "Questions and Answers" more clearly, the provincial authorities in charge of project construction are responsible for supervising the implementation of the new project plan, urging the organization to inspect and announce the actual production capacity of the device, once found that there are fraud, "approval of small and large" and other dishonest acts, in accordance with the relevant requirements of No.57, severely punished, submitted to the implementation of joint punishment, before the rectification is in place No ignition and production. Document No.57 refers to the "Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission on Serious Capacity Replacement and Strict Prohibition of New Capacity in Cement Flat Glass Industry". According to the notice, before the new project is completed and put into trial production, it is urged to announce and organize the inspection of the actual production capacity of the new production plant. Once the dishonest behavior of "approving small and building large" is found, it should be ordered to rectify in conjunction with the relevant departments, and no unauthorized ignition and production should be carried out before the rectification is in place. Enterprises that falsify, fail to implement the announced capacity replacement plan and violate the regulations on new capacity shall be severely punished in accordance with the Regulations on the Approval and Filing of Enterprise Investment Projects, and shall be submitted to the relevant parties for joint punishment. Areas with serious problems such as lax auditing and inadequate supervision and implementation will be notified to the whole country as negative examples. Individuals who have committed dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty in the work of checking and supervising the implementation of the capacity replacement scheme will be submitted to the relevant departments for investigation of relevant responsibilities in accordance with the law and discipline. Have you checked the actual production capacity of the new production facility before
the completion and trial production of the project? Is this the case for such an obvious dishonest act of "criticizing the small and building the big"?
In accordance with the requirements of energy conservation examination of fixed assets investment projects, the department in charge of energy conservation shall order the fixed assets investment projects that fail to carry out energy conservation examination in accordance with these Provisions or fail to pass the energy conservation examination to start construction or put into production or use without authorization to stop construction or production or use and rectify within a time limit. The energy-saving review of the project was issued by the District Office of Industry and Information Technology on February 26, 2021, and the project has started construction in March 2020, is it unauthorized construction? If so, that's it?
