The 293-kilometer-long coastline of the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang involves related wetlands, aquatic germplasm conservation zone and other ecologically sensitive areas, and the ecological status of this section is very important. However, Zhenjiang's environmental protection and pollution control are obviously not in place, so this related notification event and criticism have been made.
What's going on here?
In the latest bulletin of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the central eco-environmental inspector found that Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province has many problems in environmental protection and governance along the Yangtze River, and there are many problems in ecological pollution and destruction. The inspector group found that Zhenjiang city not only has the problem of missing reports of related projects that illegally occupy rivers. The problem of river pollution caused by construction waste and industrial solid waste in some enterprises has not been thoroughly cleaned up and rectified. Therefore, Zhenjiang, as a negative example of environmental protection, was criticized by name.
Zhenjiang illegally built a hotel in Jiangli, falsely claiming that it was a water conservancy facility.
Because Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province has a long coastline of the Yangtze River, the protection and management of local water resources should be strictly implemented. In accordance with the relevant requirements of the state, comprehensively find out the current situation of the coastline of the main stream of the Yangtze River, rectify relevant illegal occupation of the coastline, and protect the valuable resources of the coastline of the Yangtze River. However, the inspector found that there are still some projects within the scope of river management that have not been approved for construction, including chemical projects with greater environmental risks.
The Xisha Bay Star Hotel illegally built by relevant departments in Yangzhong City is located in the Yangtze River, adjacent to the important wetlands of the Yangtze River and the national aquatic germplasm conservation zone. The hotel was open when the inspection team visited. Yangzhong city knew it was an illegal project, but it was investigated and reported as a water conservancy facility by its superiors, and it still deceived it.
Excessive waste and wastewater from some local enterprises are directly discharged into the Yangtze River basin without relevant treatment.
Regarding related rectification projects, there are also problems that some projects are not implemented and not in place. For example, Zhenjiang Anfeng Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and Zhenxing Ocean Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. still have the problem of river pollution caused by construction waste and industrial waste landfill. In addition, there are still many enterprises whose environmental protection rectification is not in place, and a large number of untreated related garbage and wastes are thrown into the water. It has caused great influence and damage to the local Yangtze River environment.
