Measures for assessment of total emission reduction

  the first In order to thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development, promote government performance management, control the discharge of major pollutants, improve the environmental quality of the capital, and ensure the realization of the city’s "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" total emission reduction target of major pollutants, In accordance with the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Assessment Methods for Total Emission Reduction of Major Pollutants in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (Guo Ban Fa [2013] No.4) and the Notice of the General Office of the Beijing Municipal People’s Government on Printing and Distributing the Work Plan for Total Emission Reduction of Major Pollutants in Beijing during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (Jing Zheng Ban Fa [2011] No.60), Opinions of Beijing Municipal People’s Government on Implementing the Key Work Document of Strengthening Environmental Protection in the State Council (J.F. [2012] No.2), Notice of Beijing Municipal People’s Government on Printing and Distributing Beijing Clean Air Action Plan (2011-2015 Air Pollution Control Measures) (J.F. [2011] No.15) and the Twelfth Five-Year Plan signed by the municipal government, county governments, relevant municipal departments and key enterprises.

  the second These Measures shall apply to the performance management and evaluation of the completion of major pollutant emission reduction targets and emission reduction tasks of the district and county governments, relevant municipal departments and key enterprises that have signed letters of responsibility with the municipal government.

  The emission reduction targets of major pollutants include four pollutants, namely chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which are determined by the Outline of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China, and the characteristic pollutants, namely volatile organic compounds, which are determined by this Municipality to improve the quality of atmospheric environment. The task of emission reduction mainly refers to the work content determined by the work plan of total emission reduction of major pollutants and the responsibility book of total emission reduction target of major pollutants during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period of this Municipality.

  Article District and county governments, relevant municipal departments and key enterprises should strengthen organizational leadership, strengthen performance management, determine emission reduction measures, implement projects and funds, and formulate annual emission reduction plans of their respective jurisdictions, departments and enterprises in accordance with the work plan for total emission reduction of major pollutants during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the responsibility book for total emission reduction of major pollutants and the requirements of annual total emission reduction plan of major pollutants, and report them to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, which will implement them after being examined and approved by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission.

  Article 4 District and county governments should establish and improve the assessment system, statistical system and monitoring system for the total emission reduction of major pollutants, timely dispatch and dynamically manage the emission data of major pollutants, the progress of emission reduction measures and changes in environmental quality, and establish a ledger for the total emission of major pollutants.

  The relevant departments of the city should strengthen industry management and guidance, implement emission reduction responsibilities and promote the implementation of emission reduction projects in accordance with the work plan and annual emission reduction plan for the total amount of major pollutants in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period of this Municipality.

  All key enterprises should implement the city’s emission reduction plans and measures, strengthen the management of pollution control facilities, improve the construction of online central control system, and establish and improve the operation management system of pollution control facilities.

  Article 5 The assessment content of total emission reduction of major pollutants mainly includes three aspects:

  (a) the completion of the total emission reduction targets of major pollutants. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the statistical methods, monitoring methods and accounting rules for total emission reduction of major pollutants, it shall be approved. Verify the effectiveness of emission reduction according to the changes of environmental quality in various districts and counties.

  (two) the construction and operation of the statistical monitoring and assessment system for the total emission reduction of major pollutants. The construction and operation of the monitoring system are evaluated according to the construction and operation of the pollution monitoring system platform and automatic monitoring equipment for pollution sources, the transmission of monitoring data and the disclosure of monitoring results. The construction and operation of statistical system and assessment system are evaluated according to the relevant documents of each unit, the implementation of statistical system, inspection and review, and performance management.

  (three) the implementation of measures to reduce the total amount of major pollutants. According to the commissioning or completion acceptance documents of pollution control facilities, the certification materials of enterprise shutdown, the completion and operation of key projects in the target responsibility book of total emission reduction of major pollutants, and the emission reduction management measures and plan implementation of district and county governments and other relevant materials and statistical data, the assessment is made.

  Article 6 The supervision and inspection of the total emission reduction of major pollutants shall be undertaken by the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, jointly with the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Supervision Bureau and the municipal government supervision office. The focus of supervision and inspection is the deployment and implementation of emission reduction work, the implementation progress of emission reduction projects, the implementation of policies and measures, and the construction and operation of statistical monitoring and assessment system.

  Early warning of the lagging construction of emission reduction projects, ineffective coordination and promotion, and abnormal operation of emission reduction facilities found in supervision and inspection. Supervise and inspect the results as an important basis for verifying and evaluating the completion of emission reduction work.

  Article 7 Before the end of March each year, the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau shall organize the evaluation and assessment of the total emission reduction of major pollutants in the previous year according to the macro data of the municipal statistics, agriculture, public security and traffic management departments. After the examination results are reported to the municipal government for approval, they will be fed back to the relevant units and announced to the public.

  Under any of the following circumstances, it is deemed as failing to pass the annual assessment:

  (1) One or more annual pollutant emission reduction targets have not been completed;

  (two) key emission reduction projects are not implemented according to the target responsibility book;

  (3) The construction and operation of the monitoring system did not meet the relevant requirements (the effective rate of automatic monitoring data transmission of pollution sources was 75%; The announcement rate of self-monitoring results is 80% and that of supervised monitoring results is 95%.

  Those who fail to pass the annual assessment should make a written report to the municipal government within one month after the assessment results are published, put forward rectification measures within a time limit, and send a copy to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.

  Article 8 The assessment results shall be handed over to the competent department of cadres, which shall serve as an important basis for comprehensive assessment and evaluation of leading bodies and leading cadres in accordance with the relevant provisions of the assessment of leading bodies and leading cadres and government performance management.
