Chen Jun said that although the pollution incident caused by illegal dumping of chromium slag was accidental, it still exposed some problems such as serious lack of corporate responsibility and oversight by regulatory authorities. Through this incident, Qujing City has summed up three major lessons: First, its ideological understanding is backward. Some regions, departments and enterprises still lack a deep understanding of the importance, urgency and arduousness of solving outstanding environmental problems that affect economic and social development and people's production and life, and have not correctly handled the relationship between environmental protection and economic development; Second, the implementation of regulatory responsibilities is not in place. The special action to rectify illegal sewage enterprises is not enough, and the supervision and law enforcement are not in place, which has laid a hidden danger for the incident, the production technology is backward, and the production facilities of some enterprises in heavy metal-related industries such as smelting and chemical industry are rudimentary; Third, information disclosure is not timely. The pollution early warning and emergency response system is not perfect, and the environmental quality status at all levels and types has not been announced in time. The public's right to participate in the environment and the right to know need to be further improved.
Chen Jun said that the pollution incident has caused some people some property losses and inconvenience in production and life, caused some psychological worries to the people in the Pearl River Basin, and brought great adverse effects to society. On behalf of Qujing Municipal People's Government, he deeply apologized to all sectors of society.
Chen Jun introduced that in combination with the three lessons, Qujing City will strictly control the environmental access of new projects at present and in the future. When examining and approving the environmental impact assessment of new, modified and expanded projects, special attention will be paid to reviewing the generation, utilization and disposal of hazardous wastes and strictly controlling environmental access; Strengthen environmental supervision over the generation, utilization and disposal of hazardous waste in existing enterprises, establish a daily inspection system for the prevention and control of hazardous waste pollution, pay close attention to the implementation of the whole process management system of hazardous waste, comprehensively carry out the investigation of pollution hidden dangers, and punish illegal acts of hazardous waste severely and quickly according to law; Carry out all-round information disclosure, increase the environmental information disclosure of the government and enterprises, timely, fairly, accurately and objectively announce environmental safety information to the society, including the follow-up treatment of this incident, and announce it to everyone in stages under the supervision and promotion of * * *, so that the incident can be properly resolved.
