Wuliangsuhai is the largest lake wetland in the Yellow River Basin. It is an important part of the irrigation and drainage system in the Inner Mongolia Hetao Irrigation District. It is also the 'natural kidney' of the Yellow River ecological security. Wuliangsuhai ecological environment protection maintains the ecological security barrier of the northern China, guarantees the water quality of the Yellow River and It is of great importance to promote safety and promote regional economic development. Therefore, it has always been the focus of central environmental protection inspectors. On June 27, 2018, the deputy head of the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Yan Qing led the team. Wuliangsuhai ecological environmental protection work carried out on-site inspections. From the inspection situation: Since the first round of central environmental protection inspectors in 2016, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Bayannaoer City have done some work around Wuliangsuhai ecological environmental protection, in the ecological water supply The construction of the lake and the wetland, the management of the canal channel, and the construction of the ecological environment monitoring and early warning capacity have achieved some results. The water environment quality is generally stable, but there are still problems such as insufficient attention, poor work coordination, and slow progress in governance. Wuliangsuhai Ecology The environmental situation is still not optimistic.
First, the basic situation
In July 2016, the first round of environmental protection inspectors gave feedback to Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region: Agricultural pollution is the main source of Wuliangsuhai pollution, but it has not been a big time for long-term treatment; Wuliangsuhai comprehensive management plan was reported to the autonomous region in April 2015. At present, the implementation has not been approved; in the absence of environmental impact assessment, the ecological aquaculture supporting project with a breeding area of more than 5,000 acres has completed 30% of the total engineering volume.
In response to the problems pointed out in the feedback from the Central Environmental Protection Inspector, in October 2016, the People's Government of the Autonomous Region approved the “Wuliang Suhai Comprehensive Management Plan” and proposed the management ideas of “ecological water supply, pollution control, pollution control, resource utilization, sustainable development”. , planning the lake ecological water replenishment supporting project, lake internal pollution control and ecological improvement project, clear water flow mechanism repair project, planning area pollution source emission reduction project, planning area environmental management and capacity building project, and other five categories 96 projects, total investment 8 billion yuan.
In December 2016, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region formulated an inspector rectification plan, required strict implementation of the “Wuliang Suhai Comprehensive Management Plan”, coordinated and promoted comprehensive management, strictly controlled agricultural non-point source pollution, and continuously improved the overall ecological environment of Wuliangsuhai, and clarified that the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission as a rectification Working lead unit, Bayannaoer City Party Committee, the government as the main body of implementation.
Second, the main problem
First, the planning and approval is not strict. After the central environmental protection inspector pointed out the problem, the autonomous region approved the “Wuliang Suhai Comprehensive Management Plan” in October 2016. However, this plan was prepared by the Bayannaoer Municipal Government in 2013. In the process, although some adjustments were made in some cases, the new situation, new problems and new requirements of Wuliangsuhai ecological environment protection were not considered enough, and the planning projects were not targeted. The time limit for completion of some planning projects was even at the end of 2015. The time is still a year earlier, and the work is not strict.
Second, the implementation of the governance project is seriously lagging. According to the Wuliangsuhai Comprehensive Management Plan, 41 of the 96 projects should be completed before 2017. However, as of June 2018, only 10 projects were actually completed, and another 9 were under construction. 22 projects have not yet started. Among them, several key projects involving the environmental protection of Wuliangsuhai, such as 8 agricultural surface source treatment projects, industrial park sewage treatment and water reuse projects, have not yet started construction, work Serious lag.
Third, the 90,000-mu aquaculture project was not approved for construction. In 2016, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector pointed out that after the problem of 'wuliangsuhai protected area without 5,000-mu fish pond construction', the local government stopped the construction of the project, but it was not enough for economic benefits. Another taste expands the area of farming in the lake area. In April 2012, the General Administration of River Irrigation introduced Henan Dahu Aquatic Products Co., Ltd. to build a Wuliang Suhai Lake area breeding project, but has not fulfilled the environmental assessment procedures. In April 2017, the local government imposed a fine of 975,000 yuan and requested The lake area breeding project carries out post-ecological assessment. However, under the circumstances of insufficient demonstration and evaluation, the subordinate units of the Rivers and Irrigation Bureau are still expanding the breeding scale. The 2017 aquaculture area is increased by 20,000 mu compared with 2016, and the breeding area reaches 90,000 mu. In 2017, the amount of fry was 600,000 kilograms, and the catch was 500,000 kilograms. The cumulative amount of fish had been released to 5.925 million kilograms, and the catch was 2.96 million kilograms.
The inspectors inspected the Wuliangsuhai culture area and some non-aquaculture areas on site. The non-aquaculture area has clear water and good transparency, while the water quality of the culture area is slightly turbid. After on-site sampling and monitoring, the water quality of the non-culture area reaches Class IV, and the water quality of the culture area For the V category, the water quality in the non-aquaculture area is significantly better than that in the culture area.
Third, the cause analysis
The inspector found that in the ecological environmental protection work of Wuliangsuhai, the relevant departments of the autonomous region and Bayannaoer City were not strong in their sense of responsibility, and they failed to implement the problems, and the rectification work was not true.
When the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission reviewed the plan, it did not conduct enough research on the planning objectives, tasks and measures, and the review was not strict, resulting in the formation of 'two skins' between the planning requirements and the actual work. As the lead department of the supervision and rectification, in the planning advancement, neither decomposition The task of rectification has not clarified the responsibility of the relevant departments. Until May 31, 2018, 'going back to see', the rush to issue the "central environmental protection inspector feedback Wuliangsuhai rectification implementation work division plan", perfunctory responsibility. The coordination of departments is not coordinated, and each line is not working together.
Bayannaoer City did not fully understand the extreme importance of Wuliangsuhai's ecological environment protection from a political height, and was unclear about the existing problems. It was self-satisfied with the achievements and was at a glance at the 90,000 mu breeding project. Insufficient implementation, no substantial measures have been taken for the agricultural non-point source pollution that has the greatest impact on the water quality of the lake area. It is unclear, the road is unknown, and it has been passed. The long-term mechanism for the treatment of Wuliangsuhai has not yet been formed.
In response to the above problems, Yan Qing requested that all relevant departments of the autonomous region and Bayannaoer City should conscientiously study the spirit of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization and the spirit of the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference, effectively improve the political position, continuously strengthen the responsibility, and do the work carefully. Deep, and on the specific aspects of planning project adjustment, agricultural non-point source pollution control, Lingxiao ecological water supply, lake area scale farming, sewage collection pipe network, wetland operation management, long-term mechanism construction and other specific issues have clearly revised the requirements. The inspection team will further sort out the situation , do a good job in follow-up inspections. (Eco-Environment Department website)

The 90,000 mu aquaculture project was not approved for construction first, and the Wuliangsuhai treatment was weak. Inner Mongolia was approved for planning, and the actual 'two skins'
On July 3, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment exposed the problem of the serious lag of Wuliangsuhai governance in Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
During the on-site inspection of Wuliang Suhai's ecological and environmental protection work by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group, it was found that the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Bayannaoer City have done some work since the first round of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector in 2016, but there is still insufficient attention and work. Inadequate co-ordination, slow progress in governance, such as the lack of strict approval for planning and preparation, the implementation of governance projects is seriously lagging behind, and the construction of 90,000 mu of aquaculture projects has not been approved.
Known as the Yellow River Ecological Safety 'Natural Kidney', Wuliangsuhai is the largest lake wetland in the Yellow River Basin and an important part of the irrigation and drainage system in the Inner Mongolia Hetao Irrigation District. It maintains the northern ecological security barrier and guarantees the water quality and safety of the Yellow River. Promoting regional economic development plays an important role.
However, according to the results of this inspection, in recent years, due to the ineffective local government governance and the expansion of the aquaculture area in the lake area in pursuit of temporary economic benefits, the ecological environment of Wuliangsuhai has been damaged. Inspectors believe that the current Wuliangsuhai Ecological Environment Institute The situation is still not optimistic.
In fact, not long ago, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment exposed the comprehensive management of Hulun Lake in Inner Mongolia. The Hulun Lake key treatment project was artificially put on hold, and many indicators did not fall back. Another example is Hunan Dongting Lake '30,000 mu super Dwarf's illegal breeding, destroying the ecological environment; the ecological and environmental protection of Wuning County in Jiangxi Province is not just a temporary economic growth, causing the West Sea of Laoshan to face the constant 'slimming' and so on.
Liu Changgen, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Supervision Office, told the Economic Observer Online that it is absolutely not allowed to seek economic growth at the expense of the ecological environment. It is necessary to further strengthen the supervision of the water ecological environment, and to the local 'existence and rectification', ' False rectification' and inaction, slow as a problem, will be accountable according to the law.
Governance work is seriously lagging behind 76% of projects are not completed
According to the feedback from the first round of central environmental protection inspectors in July 2016, three major issues were explicitly mentioned. First, agricultural pollution is the main source of Wuliangsuhai pollution, but Inner Mongolia has not long-term efforts to control it. Second, Wuliangsuhai comprehensive management plan has not yet Approved for implementation; third, in the absence of environmental impact assessment, the ecological aquaculture supporting project with a breeding area of more than 5,000 acres has completed 30% of the total project volume.
In response to the above feedback, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government approved the “Wuliang Suhai Comprehensive Management Plan” (hereinafter referred to as “Planning”) in October 2016, proposed relevant management ideas, planned the lake ecological water replenishment supporting project, and the lake internal pollution control and ecology. Improvement project, clean water flow mechanism repair project, planning area pollution source emission reduction project and other five categories of 96 projects, with a total investment of 8 billion yuan.
In December of that year, the autonomous region formulated an inspector rectification plan, required strict implementation of the above-mentioned governance plan, and clarified that the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission was the lead unit for rectification, and the Bayannaoer City Party Committee Government was the main body of implementation.
However, it is worth noting that the “Planning” was organized by the Bayannaoer City Government as early as 2013. Although some adjustments were made, the latest situation and problems of the Wuliangsuhai eco-environmental protection were insufficiently considered. At the end of 2015, it was one year earlier than the planned approval time.
Moreover, the inspectors found that 41 of the 96 projects in the Plan should be completed by 2017, but as of June this year, only 10 were actually completed, and another 9 were under construction, and 22 were still not Start work.
In other words, 41 of the 41 governance projects that should be completed remain unfinished, with an unfinished rate of 76%.
Not only that, the inspectors said that there are a number of key projects involving the ecological environment management of Wuliangsuhai, such as eight agricultural non-point source treatment projects, which have not yet started construction, and work is seriously lagging behind.
Planning and actual 'two skins'
The inspector team analyzed the reasons behind it. The inspector found that the relevant departments of the autonomous region were not coordinating and coordinating, especially the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission as the lead department for supervision and rectification, and the review of the "plan" was not strict, resulting in the formation of 'two skins' in the planning requirements and actual work. .
For example, for the problem of 'not building an 5,000-mu fish pond without environmental impact assessment', the local government has already stopped the construction of the project, but considering the economic benefits, it has expanded the area of farming in the lake area. In April 2012, the river irrigation administration introduced a fishery. The company built a lake area aquaculture project, but has not fulfilled the environmental assessment procedures. Until April last year, the local government imposed a fine of 975,000 yuan for ecological assessment.
However, in fact, the subordinate units of the General Administration of Rivers and Irrigation have not been fully evaluated, and the scale of breeding is still expanding. The survey of inspectors found that the area of aquaculture in 2017 increased by 20,000 mu compared with 2016, and the breeding area reached 90,000 mu. The amount of fry is 600,000 kg, and the catch is 500,000 kg. The cumulative amount of fry has been 5.925 million kg, and the catch is 2.96 million kg.
This caused a decline in the water quality of Wuliangsuhai. The inspectors said that the water quality in the Wuliangsuhai culture area was slightly turbid. After on-site sampling and monitoring, the water quality of the non-aquaculture area reached Class IV, while the water quality of the culture area was Class V. The locality did not take this. Substantial remediation measures.
In addition, the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission did not decompose the “planning” rectification task, and it did not clarify the responsibilities of all parties. The inspector found that until the 'review' of the inspector, the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission issued the “Central Environmental Protection Inspector Feedback”. Wuliangsuhai rectification implementation work division plan.
The inspector believes that the relevant departments of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Bayannaoer City are perfunctory and responsible for the ecological environment management of Wuliangsu Seawater, weak implementation, unclear understanding of existing problems, self-satisfaction with the achievements, and awkward attitude towards the 90,000 mu breeding project. A long-term mechanism for the treatment of Wuliangsuhai has not yet been formed.
In this regard, the deputy head of the second environmental protection inspection team, deputy director of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Yan Qing said that the relevant departments of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Bayannaoer City should adjust the planning project, agricultural non-point source pollution control, Lingxiao ecological water supply, lake area scale breeding , sewage collection pipe network, wetland operation management, long-term mechanism construction and other specific issues clear rectification requirements.
