China's network on November 19 (reporter Zhang Yanling) under the banner of wetland park, wind and rain covered bridges, etc., in the name of protection, in the name of protection, the destruction of the truth, the river is "full of devastation, the river is not like a river" ... Today, these "old and difficult" problems of encroaching on and destroying rivers and lakes have finally been solved. This is due to the special rectification activities of the Ministry of Water Resources in recent years to "clean up the four chaos" in rivers and lakes. On the 19th, the Ministry of Water Resources released 10 typical cases of "qing si chaos" in rivers and lakes.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Water Resources that since 2018, the Ministry of Water Resources has carried out clean-up and rectification of prominent problems in the management and protection of rivers and lakes such as chaotic occupation, random mining, random piling, and random construction nationwide (hereinafter referred to as "qing si chaos"), and as of the end of October this year, a total of "four chaos" of rivers and lakes has been cleaned up and rectified. There are 185,000 problems, more than 40 million square meters of illegal construction that encroaches on rivers and lakes have been demolished, 30,000 kilometers of illegal occupation of shorelines have been cleaned up, more than 40 million tons of garbage in the river have been removed, more than 10,000 kilometers of illegal embankments have been removed, and more than 11,000 illegal sand mining vessels have been cracked down.
The "Qing Si Chaos" has gradually returned the encroached waters and beaches to rivers and lakes, greatly improving the flood storage capacity of rivers and lakes, and continuing to improve the water ecology. Chen Dayong, deputy director of the Department of River and Lake Management of the Ministry of Water Resources and a first-level inspector, said that practice has proved that the major policy decision made by the party Central Committee to comprehensively implement the river and lake chief system is a major institutional arrangement that conforms to China's national conditions and water conditions and ensures the sustained health of rivers and lakes, and must be unswervingly and comprehensively implemented.
The 10 typical cases of "Qing Si Chaos" in rivers and lakes are: the illegal dwarf enclosure case of SaiHu Lake under Dongting Lake in Hunan Province, the illegal construction case of "Faliland Fairy Tale Kingdom" in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, the case of encroaching on the Qinhuai River embankment to build a restaurant in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, the case of illegal construction of photovoltaic power plants on the beach of Tufa River in Shandong Province, the case of illegal construction of housing in Guanshan Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge in Hunan Province, the illegal construction of Wetland Park in Hulanhekou In Heilongjiang Province, the illegal construction project of luanping section of Chaohe River in Hebei Province, and the illegal sand mining case in Lushan County, Henan Province in the name of dredging and dredging. Illegal sand mining in the Dashahe Permit Mining Area of Hebei Province, and "sand mining for the whole people" in Suixian County, Hubei Province.
Chen Dayong introduced: The problems in these cases are large in scale and serious in nature, and they are a new type of problem of encroaching on and destroying rivers and lakes. For example, the Dongting Lake Xia Sai Lake dwarf enclosure case illegally occupied nearly 30,000 mu of the lake area, the Faliland Fairy Tale Kingdom case encroached on more than 400 mu of Yellow River beach land, the Hulan Hekou Wetland Park case illegally built a house area of up to 94,000 square meters, and the Qinhuai River illegal restaurant case houses directly encroached on and destroyed the Grade I embankment, seriously threatening flood control safety.
In recent years, under the banner of wetland parks, wind and rain corridor bridges, in the name of ecological restoration and national cultural inheritance, some places have developed and built houses in rivers and lakes, vigorously engaged in landscape projects, in the name of protection, to carry out sabotage, and some even wantonly seek commercial benefits, so that the public space that belongs to the common sharing of the people has become a "private land" for local people to profit, such as the Hulanhekou Wetland Park case, the Guanshan Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge case, etc.; some places illegally mine sand in the name of dredging and dredging, such as the Lushan illegal sand mining case. Random mining and digging lead to the river channel "full of devastation, the river is not like a river"; some places and enterprises one-sidedly pursue the development speed of solar power generation, ignore water laws and regulations, ignore the protection of rivers and lakes, and illegally build photovoltaic power plants in rivers, lakes and reservoir areas, which have a great impact on river flooding and ecological security, such as the illegal construction of photovoltaic power plants on the tujiao river beach.
Some illegal construction projects are "complete with five certificates", reflecting that the strengthening of river and lake protection in some places is not in place. For example, in the case of illegal villa construction in the Luanping section of the Chaohe River, as early as 2015, the local water administrative department issued an administrative punishment decision and requested demolition, but the construction unit only paid a fine, and the house has not been demolished. This reflects the unilateral pursuit of regional development by some local party committees, governments or leaders of relevant departments, violating laws and exceeding their authority to approve construction projects, and neglecting supervision and responsibility, resulting in major losses and adverse social impacts.
In order to further strengthen social supervision, in 2020, the Ministry of Water Resources opened a 12314 reporting telephone and accepted 129 reports of river and lake problems from the masses. Chen Dayong pointed out that in the next step, the Ministry of Water Resources will further promote the normalization and standardization of the "four chaos", give full play to the role of the 12314 supervision and reporting platform, resolutely sweep away the problem of encroachment and destruction of rivers and lakes, and strive to build healthy, beautiful and happy rivers and lakes.
