Audit Commission: Water pollution control embezzlement false 515 million yuan

October 28, the Audit office issued "Three Rivers and lakes" water pollution control performance audit findings results of water pollution control misappropriation of 515 million yuan (hot reading) Core Tips 6 years, 91 billion yuan, 8,201 projects. The water pollution prevention and control of "Sanhe Three lakes" invested a lot of financial resources has worked?　　The performance audit of the Audit Office shows that water pollution control has achieved some results, but there are also some problems such as embezzlement and interception of funds.　　October 28, the Audit Commission issued 2008 on the "Three Rivers" (Liaohe, Haihe, Huai, Taihu, Chaohu, Dianchi Lake) from 2001 to 2007 water pollution control performance of the investigation bulletin.　　The audit investigation involves 13 provinces and cities in Beijing, Liaoning, Jiangsu and so on "Sanhe three Lakes". Effective prevention and treatment, the overall water quality of 8,201 water pollution control projects cost 91 billion yuan from 2001 to 2007, the central and local governments at all levels invested 91 billion yuan financial funds and domestic bank loans, for "Sanhe Three Lakes" watershed urban environmental infrastructure,　　Ecological construction and comprehensive renovation of the 7 major categories of 8,201 water pollution Control project construction. The audit investigation indicated that, from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008 as the latest water quality evaluation year, using the period of Environmental protection Department of "Three Rivers San Hu" 347 State control Section Water quality monitoring situation and 2000 to 2007 monitoring Situation comparison analysis shows that "Sanhe Three lakes"　　Water pollution control has achieved some results: for example, the proportion of Ⅰ-ⅲ water quality in the Huaihe river system rose from 21.9% to 33.7%, and the proportion of inferior ⅴ water quality decreased from 48.4% to 21%, Chaohu water quality changed from inferior Ⅴ to Ⅴ, and the nutritional status index changed from 57 to 60.1. However, water quality has not improved.　　For example, the water quality of Dianchi Lake has been poor Ⅴ category, the nutritional status index is 72, the water quality of Dianchi Lake except 2004 for Ⅴ class, other year is inferior Ⅴ class, the nutrition state index from 64 to 69. Overall, "Sanhe three Lakes" at present the overall water quality is still poor.　　Ministry of Environmental Protection the water quality monitoring of 347 state control sections of "Sanhe Three Lakes" from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008 shows: The Huaihe River, Liaohe River is moderate pollution, the section water quality of Haihe 49.2% is inferior ⅴ, the average water quality in Chaohu Lake is Ⅴ, the average water quality in Taihu Lake is inferior ⅴ, the average water quality of Dianchi Lake is inferior Ⅴ class.　　The systematic reason of planing out water pollution examination and approval system and ecological compensation mechanism imperfect audit shows that environmental protection and approval of the relevant system is not perfect, is the main cause of water pollution. It is an important means of controlling pollution from the source that the environmental protection examination and approval is the precondition of business registration.　　However, the current laws and administrative regulations only for the operation of hazardous waste, installation and demolition of shipyards and the establishment of entertainment and other special industries have such requirements, the vast majority of other industries, including chemical, paper and other heavy polluting industries are not included. In order to protect the water environment and water resources of downstream areas, upstreamThe economic and social development of the district is often affected and the upstream area should be compensated.　　But in the 13 provinces and cities of the Three Rivers River basin, except Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, most of the ecological environment compensation mechanisms in other places have not been established or perfected.　　The relevant officials of the Audit Office said that total phosphorus and total nitrogen were the main indicators of Lake pollution, but at present the relevant departments did not include these two indicators in the assessment of total amount of water pollutant emission reduction and the environmental Statistics report, which is not conducive to the comprehensive reflection and evaluation of water pollution control and water quality. Five-year planning implementation of the weak part of the project responsibility or lack of funding clear audit shows that the five-year plan for Water pollution prevention and implementation is ineffective.　　"Sanhe Three Lakes" Water pollution prevention and control five years of planning release time lags behind, part of the project responsibility or source of funds is not clear enough, resulting in planning implementation is not in place. Environmental law enforcement in some areas is not in place. Environmental impact assessment and environmental acceptance of 1199 projects in 5 river basins, such as Huai River and Chaohu, are not well regulated; Environmental statistics are not accurate in 7 provinces and cities of 5 river basins such as Haihe River and Chaohu, and some areas of 2 provinces in Haihe River and Huaihe River have low networking rate of pollution source automatic monitoring equipment　　A few units even violate the normal operation of automatic monitoring equipment to evade punishment. Some local agricultural and rural non-point source pollution control work is weak, town sewage, sludge and garbage treatment is not fully in place.　　If the domestic sewage is untreated or only simple treatment on the external discharge, sewage treatment plant effluent quality substandard, sludge and landfill leachate is not properly disposed of, resulting in two pollution.　　More than 4 billion prevention funds "absence" part of the water pollution control funds management and use is not standardized audit shows that some of the water pollution control funds management and use is not standardized, 515 million yuan water pollution control funds were misappropriated and false multiple collar. In addition, 3.653 billion yuan sewage charges and sewage charges have been levied, diverted and withheld.　　Among them, 9 provinces and municipalities were not recruited, the unit owed sewage treatment fees and sewage charges 2.143 billion yuan, 13 provinces and municipalities of the relevant enterprises, units and departments misappropriation, interception of sewage treatment fees and sewage charges 1.51 billion yuan. Water pollution control Assets idle and some sewage treatment plant actual processing capacity did not meet the design requirements.　　Among them, 10 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) have the problem of water pollution control project assets idle, involving an amount of 806 million yuan; "Sanhe Three lakes" river basin has 206 sewage treatment plant actual sewage treatment capacity can not reach the design requirements. It is suggested that the implementation of water pollution prevention and control plan should be implemented in strict accountability system. The relevant person in charge of the Audit Office says that the illegal problem found by the auditing investigation has been transferred to relevant departments and local authorities according to law. The relevant departments and governments at all levels attach great importance to the problems found in the audit investigation and suggestions, and actively take measures to seriously rectify.　　Up to now, the rectification work has achieved good results. The Audit Commission suggested that in the future, we should further improve the water pollution control policy measures, increase water pollution control funds. The central authorities and local governments should implement strictLattice's accountability system, the implementation of water pollution control plan as the main cadres of the important content of performance assessment. The Environmental Protection Department should strengthen the supervision and inspection of water pollution prevention and control, increase law enforcement and seriously deal with illegal and irregular problems.
