The quality of the environmental impact assessment document (hereinafter referred to as the "EIA document") is the "lifeline" of the EIA system, which is directly related to the credibility and effectiveness of the EIA system. Ecological and environmental departments at all levels adhere to the quality of EIA documents as the core, continue to strengthen the review and approval process, continue to increase the intensity of supervision during and after the EIA, and resolutely investigate and deal with all kinds of fraud in EIA documents.
[Brief facts of the case].
On July 2, 2021, the law enforcement officers of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment of Jiangsu Province found that the company's reissued "Environmental Impact Report Form for 80 Tons of Wastewater Biochemical Treatment Project and 500 Square Meters of Hazardous Waste Warehouse Project" did not truthfully reflect the actual construction content of the waste gas treatment facilities of the sewage treatment station, and the monitoring data cited was inconsistent with the data in the original monitoring report.
After investigation, the construction unit's wastewater biochemical sewage treatment station and its waste gas treatment facilities were actually completed and put into use in May 2019. In April 2021, the company commissioned Nanjing Ruihua Survey and Design with 4,000 yuan, hereinafter referred to as the EIA preparation unit) to compile the "Environmental Impact Report Form for 80 tons of wastewater biochemical treatment project and 500 square meters of hazardous waste warehouse project" (supplementary EIA procedures), and obtained the EIA approval on May 26, 2021. Between August 2020 and January 2021, the construction unit successively connected the breathing exhaust gas containing ammonia and non-methane total hydrocarbons from eight paraquat process wastewater storage tanks in the comprehensive treatment workshop to the waste gas treatment unit of the sewage treatment station for treatment.
At the same time, in the process of preparing the EIA document, the construction unit commissioned an environmental technology group in Nanjing to monitor the current situation, and the original monitoring report showed that the first monitoring results and average monitoring results of non-methane total hydrocarbons at the outlet of the waste gas treatment unit were 391 mg cubic meter and 135 milligrams of cubic meters, and the monitoring data cited in the EIA document issued by the EIA preparation unit is inconsistent with the original monitoring results.
[Investigation and punishment].
The above-mentioned acts of the construction unit and the EIA document preparation unit violated the provisions of Article 19, Paragraph 2 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People's Republic of China. According to the first paragraph of Article 32 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People's Republic of China, the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment imposed a fine of 500,000 yuan on the construction unit and ordered it to correct the illegal acts; Zhao Moumou, the legal representative of the construction unit, and Chen Moumou, the main person in charge of the project, are 5A fine of 20,000 yuan. The EIA document preparation unit Nanjing Ruihua survey and design *** is punished with 1A fine of 20,000 yuan was imposed and ordered to correct the illegal acts. According to the untrustworthy scoring method, the EIA preparation unit will be given a score for dishonesty, and the environmental impact assessment credit platform has cancelled the integrity file of the host Duan XX.
At present, the construction unit and the responsible person, the EIA preparation unit have paid the fine on time, and the construction unit revised the EIA document and submitted it to the approval department and was approved, and organized the completion and acceptance of environmental protection facilities.
[Implications].
The environmental impact assessment system is the legal guarantee that restricts the access of projects and planning environments, the first line of defense to protect lucid waters and lush mountains in development, and plays an important role in promoting high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment Law clearly stipulates that the construction unit and its relevant responsible personnel, and the EIA document preparation unit and its relevant responsible personnel shall be punished separately. In this case, the ecological environment department implemented the "double penalty system" in accordance with the law, warning relevant units and responsible personnel to prepare EIA documents in accordance with laws and regulations.
