Recently, Qianjiang Economic Development Zone in Yuhang District, Hangzhou (hereinafter referred to as “Qiankai District”) held the acceptance promotion meeting of “zero direct discharge of sewage”, which means that the creation work has entered the sprint stage. Taking water control as an important starting point, Qiankai District has taken the construction goal of “the most beautiful development zone” a step further.
“The 11th water quality sampling test this year shows that at present, the water quality in the development zone has reached Class IV or above for several consecutive months.” According to the relevant person in charge of Qiankai District, half a year ago, the water quality of five rivers in the development zone mostly belonged to Class V water quality.
Behind the improvement of water quality is a vivid practice in Qiankai District, which takes the creation of “zero direct discharge of sewage” as the starting point and turns pressure into power. It is reported that in order to implement the requirements of “Implementation Plan for Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of” Zero Direct Sewage Discharge Area “in Industrial Parks (Industrial Clusters) in Zhejiang Province”, in May this year, Qiankai District inspected all enterprises in Qiankai District in accordance with the principle of “overall planning, overall promotion, focusing on problems, tackling difficulties, tackling both the symptoms and root causes, and highlighting long-term effectiveness”, of which 74 enterprises were included in the establishment of “zero direct sewage discharge”.
According to the relevant person in charge of Qiankai District, the reasons for the poor water quality of river water are complicated. Taking enterprises as an example, most of the sewage overflows into rainwater pipes, and then directly flows into rivers adjacent to enterprises, resulting in the decline of river water quality.
Combined with the survey results, Qiankai District has prescribed the right medicine to formulate river water quality rectification plan for enterprises. “After that, we will hold an enterprise’s’ Zero Direct Discharge of Sewage’ promotion meeting once a week. While guiding and supervising the rectification work of enterprises, the understanding and support of enterprises for this work are constantly rising.” According to the relevant person in charge of Qiankai District, in order to better help Qiankai District to create “zero direct discharge of sewage”, Qiankai District adopts the innovative and environmental protection “management+service” work mode to introduce “environmental protection housekeeper”, and the “environmental protection housekeeper” makes precise efforts through the overall working ideas of investigation, management, modification, service and inspection, and makes overall plans.
At present, the enterprise rectification is coming to an end. At the promotion meeting on the same day, the person in charge of “Environmental Protection Housekeeper” in Qiankai District instructed the enterprise on the common problems and related matters needing attention in the on-site acceptance of “zero direct discharge of sewage”, worked out the technical points for the acceptance of “zero direct discharge of sewage” and put forward rectification measures.
“Next, we will take the water quality improvement as an opportunity to further consolidate the work results, speed up the work progress, and make every effort to build a beautiful garden all over the world.” According to the relevant person in charge of Qiankai District, as of November this year, 29 enterprises in Qiankai District have passed the acceptance, and all rectification enterprises strive to realize the acceptance of “zero direct discharge of sewage” as soon as possible.
