On December 23, 2020, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the content, format and technical guidelines for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report Form for Construction Projects, which has been implemented since April 1, 2021, and has been implemented for more than half a year, encountering some problems in the implementation process, some uncertain places (including whether to calculate the health protection distance, whether to monitor the status quo, whether to evaluate the level of judgment, what are the national and local ambient air quality standards for emissions, etc.); There are also some things that are originally very clear, and some superiors, because they have not updated their knowledge and thoughts in time, are stubbornly self-righteous, do not believe in linguistic logic, and only believe in themselves, so that they become more and more unclear from clarity.
In this context, it is necessary to issue corresponding explanations at the top level to correct the audio-visual.
Just this afternoon, the Environmental Engineering Evaluation Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released faqs based on feedback from all walks of life. Very pragmatic and clear answers to common questions in the preparation of environmental impact statement forms. Although there are only 10 articles, they are all universal issues and have good guiding significance for the preparation of future reporting tables. I hope that the newly released documents, explanations, answers, etc. will not only be studied by EIA technicians and competent department approval personnel, but also that experts can also take the time to "review" in their busy schedules, which is very grateful. I hope that the experts will have more "basis...", "basis...", "compliance...", less "I feel...", "I personally think...", "... I still have doubts" and so on.
First, on the format of the report table
1. Can the layout of the report form be appropriately adjusted during the preparation process?
Report table format in the left column of the heading, the right column of the content to be filled in, for the need for detailed arguments, may cause the left header column in a continuous multi-page blank column, at this time you can appropriately adjust the table layout, the use of the title bar and content bar up and down layout to edit the layout, in the case of a complete content framework, keep the table clear and beautiful. It is important to note that the discourse should be concise and there should be no redundant repetition of the discourse.
Not only the editor press: as a bitter environmental impact assessor, don't be too careful if the report is beautiful or not, honestly write it according to the recommended format. Adjust the format yourself, the future is unclear, and the consequences are at your own risk. Here again mentioned that "the discourse expression should be concise, there should be no redundant and repetitive exposition", which shows that the goal and direction of the top-level reform is to simplify the content of the environmental impact report form; similar expressions once appeared in the answer to the reporter's question on January 4, 2021, the original words were "The new version of the "Report Form" has made a lot of simplification and adjustment in the content of the report, and the preparation process should be filled in according to the requirements of the "Preparation Technical Guide", and the text content should not be added and stacked at will, and the purpose of refining the content and focusing on the key points should be truly realized." Unfortunately, the simpler and more complex the content of the report form, the more pages it has been reduced. Whoops!!! Is it the fault of an EIA??!!
What happened to the system? There's a virus in your EIA!!
2. Fill in the content of the report form
2. Does the environmental impact report form of the construction project need to fill in the "Basic Information Form for the Approval of The Environmental Impact Assessment of the Construction Project"?
The Basic Information Form for the Approval of Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects has been abolished, and the Basic Information Form for the Approval of Environmental Impact Reports for Construction Projects (EIA Letter [2020] No. 711 of the Environmental Protection Office) is only applicable to report items, and the report form items do not need to be filled in.
Although it has been abolished, most of the applications for approval of EIA applications are now required to apply on the websites of provincial and municipal people's governments, as far as I know, some websites have not been updated in time, and the report form still needs to upload the "Basic Information Form for The Approval of EIA for Construction Projects" when applying for approval. Service in the details, not just talk. As for whether it can be counted as a service, the benevolent ones are in agreement.
3. Does the environmental impact report form of the construction project require the calculation of the health protection distance?
The General Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects (HJ2.1-2016) does not require evaluation of the distance of health protection, and the technical guidelines for the preparation of environmental impact report forms for construction projects (hereinafter referred to as the technical guidelines) do not require them. For construction projects that are judged to require special atmospheric assessment, if it is necessary to calculate the atmospheric environment protection distance according to the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment and atmospheric environment (HJ2.2-2018), it shall be calculated according to the requirements.
Not only xiaobian press: experts, the health protection distance has entered the old paper pile early, you also move your feet out, don't hold it. So many new things, don't you like it?
So the paper pile
4. Should the overall relocation project be described in the report form?
The overall relocation project of the other place is filled in according to the content of the new project, and it is necessary to explain the existing project to perform the environmental impact assessment, the acceptance of the completed environmental protection facilities, the sewage discharge permit procedures, etc., and there is no need to evaluate the existing project. When it comes to the total amount of pollutants, the relationship between the total amount of relocation projects and existing projects can be clarified in the total quantity control indicators.
More than a small editor press: this is really conscience. Omitted too much useless garbage content (although in some cases it is quite useful), only to explain the implementation of environmental protection procedures, it is really "to simplify the complex", "to store essence", once reviewed so much, think carefully, there is no use ah. I've moved away, you're going to peel me off?? New place, new beginning, I will be a good person again. However, this article is difficult to implement, and xiaobian's concern should be reasonable. Now the new guidelines require a short review of the content, but in fact there is still a lot to write.
Write so thick, not ???
3. Technical guidelines on pollution impacts
5. If the silent environmental protection target is within 50 meters outside the factory boundary, is it necessary to provide monitoring data on the current situation of the acoustic environment?
Construction projects with acoustic environmental protection targets within 50 meters of the perimeter outside the factory boundary should monitor the current situation of acoustic environmental quality, and the monitoring point is the acoustic environmental protection target. Construction projects with silent environmental protection goals within 50 meters of the perimeter of the factory no longer require monitoring data on the current situation of acoustic environmental quality.
More than a small editor press: this is very clear, no objection. Whoever is going to raise the acoustic environmental guidelines, I'm going to kick his ass.
6. Does the report form project also need to carry out atmospheric status monitoring in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment and atmospheric environment (HJ2.2-2018)?
If it is determined that it is necessary to carry out special atmospheric assessment, the relevant monitoring work will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment and Atmospheric Environment (HJ2.2-2018). If it is determined that there is no need to carry out special atmospheric evaluations, work will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of technical guidelines.
Not only the editor press: experts, I hope not to let me hear the four words "atmospheric guidelines" again at the evaluation meeting, I will also kick his ass.
7. The technical guide on pollution impact mentions "discharging characteristic pollutants required by standard limits in national and local ambient air quality standards", of which the national quality standards include technical guidelines and reference materials such as Appendix D of the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment and Atmospheric Environment (HJ2.2-2018)?
The technical guide mentions "the discharge of characteristic pollutants required by standard limits in national and local ambient air quality standards", of which the ambient air quality standard refers to the Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095) and the local ambient air quality standard, excluding appendix D of the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment Atmospheric Environment (HJ2.2-2018), the Sanitary Standard for the Design of Industrial Enterprises (TJ36-97), the Standard for Residential Areas of the Former Soviet Union (CH245-71), and the Standard for Residential Areas of the Former Soviet Union (CH245-71). Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment Pharmaceutical Construction Projects (HJ611-2011), Detailed Explanation of Comprehensive Emission Standards for Atmospheric Pollutants and other guidelines or reference materials. The characteristic pollutants emitted need to be limited in the national and local ambient air quality standards to involve status monitoring, and the reference of existing monitoring data is given priority.
Not only the editor press: this is basically no objection.
8. Regarding the current situation of regional environmental quality, the atmospheric environment department proposed that "when discharging characteristic pollutants with standard limits in national and local ambient air quality standards, the existing monitoring data of the past 3 years within 5 kilometers of the construction project is quoted", of which the surrounding 5 kilometers refers to the 5 kilometers around the factory boundary, or 5 kilometers outside the project center? Does the citation location have to be in the prevailing downwind direction of the construction project's season?
The data quoted is required to be the existing monitoring data of the past 3 years within 5 kilometers of the construction project, and the 5 kilometers around the construction project refers to the range of 5 kilometers extended by the factory boundary, and the current status data quoted does not limit the data of the dominant wind and downwind direction in the current season.
Not only the editor pressed: this answer also indirectly shows that the evaluation scope is extended from the factory boundary as the starting point, not the project center point. The reference point is within range, and there are no other restrictions (mainly wind direction).
9. Regarding the monitoring of the current situation of atmospheric characteristic pollutants, does the characteristic pollutants not discharged by this project need to be monitored? If the emitted atmospheric pollutants are not characteristic pollutants required by the standard limits in national and local ambient air quality standards, is it necessary to provide current monitoring data?
For characteristic pollutants not discharged by this project, it is not necessary to provide status monitoring data. For characteristic pollutants other than the Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095) and the ambient air quality standard of the project site, it is not necessary to provide current status monitoring data, but corresponding pollution prevention and control measures should be proposed.
I hope that individual experts will no longer hold the "Industrial Enterprise Design Hygiene Standards" (TJ36-97), "Former Soviet Union Residential Area Standards" (CH245-71), "Detailed Explanation of Comprehensive Emission Standards for Atmospheric Pollutants" and so on to supplement the current situation of other factors, otherwise your ass will be kicked out.
The ass kick flew away
10. Does the atmospheric evaluation in the report table project need to be judged by the evaluation level? Is there a need for relevant model prediction work?
Projects that are judged not to require the establishment of special atmospheric projects are no longer required to carry out grade judgments and model predictions, and environmental impact and pollution prevention and control measures can be clarified in accordance with the requirements of technical guidelines.
Not only xiaobian press: the calculation of whether the concentration of the factory boundary is up to standard, although it uses ARCscreen, but it is not called prediction; I hope that you colleagues can understand the difference between the two.
Final statement: Xiaobian has no intention of offending industry experts and gods, and the "experts" in the article are not general references, but the "brick family" of some specific behaviors and thoughts, which can be understood as Xiaobian ridiculed for some ridiculous and infuriating behaviors and thoughts, rather than people. If it causes discomfort to your psyche, please understand, thank you.
