Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, recently issued the "Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Ecological Environment's Several Measures on Optimizing the Business Environment and Helping Enterprises Solve Difficulties" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). The 20 green measures start from six aspects to help enterprises fight "economic turnaround".
The Measures proposed that in 2023, Hangzhou should achieve the proportion of Class I - III water quality of sections above the control of Zhejiang Province to 100%, the standard rate of functional areas to 100%, and the standard rate of centralized drinking water sources above the county level to 100%. The annual ambient air quality has been steadily improved, with the air excellence rate reaching 88.0%, and the concentration of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) controlled at 28 μ Below g/m3, the comprehensive ranking of the two indicators strives to reach the top 5 of the top 10 cities in domestic GDP.
As for the environmental impact assessment approval concerned by enterprises, it is clear in the Measures that the project access service will continue to be optimized in 2023. Implement the acceptance and review of environmental impact assessment documents, and reduce the preparation and approval time of environmental impact assessment for construction projects by more than 40%; To expand the effective investment in more than 700 key projects of "one thousand trillion", arrange the examination and approval attendants one by one, provide service cards, establish the examination and approval time list, and open up a green channel; Regularly schedule the progress of environmental impact assessment of the project, participate in the service in advance, and actively help and guide at least 300 times a year.
At the same time, we will continue to carry out the reform of Hangzhou Industrial Park's "Planning EIA+Project EIA", a national pilot city for business environment, and support the implementation of the "one exemption" and "four reductions" reform measures for 500 construction projects in the park throughout the year. It will provide about 900 mu of "pure land" for Hangzhou throughout the year, accelerate the remediation of polluted soil in 13 key projects and key projects such as Hanggang, and strive to shorten the development and construction time of Hanggang plot by an average of two years.
Pollution reduction and carbon reduction governance, improving environmental development capacity, is an important part of optimizing the business environment. According to the Measures, this year we will continue to implement comprehensive treatment of air pollutants, focus on promoting the elimination and renewal of old vehicles and non-road machinery, and encourage and guide the development of new energy vehicles and non-road machinery industries. At the same time, we will cultivate 200 leading enterprises with performance grades of A and B to reduce the cost of enterprises dealing with polluted weather.
The Measures also mentioned that it is necessary to optimize the guarantee of environmental factors, so that enterprises can reduce the burden and feel more comfortable; We will optimize environmental law enforcement and supervision, and make enterprises feel more comfortable without disturbing anything. The local ecological and environmental departments, in combination with the one-permit law enforcement of pollution discharge permits, expanded the number of enterprises on the positive list by 300, and reasonably reduced the proportion and frequency of spot checks.
In 2023, Hangzhou will comprehensively implement non-penalty for minor violations in the ecological environment, and launch a non-penalty list of 80 items to reduce the burden of enterprises for minor violations, initial violations, and violations without subjective fault. The law enforcement department will cover 5000 enterprises with accurate law popularization propaganda throughout the year, and those enterprises with more than 200 points of law learning points will be given a lighter punishment of 1% - 5% of the maximum legal fine if they are involved in violation of the law, reducing the cost of enterprises by 30000 yuan/enterprise to 50000 yuan/enterprise.
It is worth mentioning that the Measures also clearly stated that Hangzhou should strengthen financial and financial security to help the development of environmental protection industry. This year, the municipal subsidy measures for pollution control will be introduced, with a planned subsidy of 50 million yuan in three years. In 2023, apply for no less than 10 projects funded by the central government and strive for more projects to be put into storage.
