on august 30, the standing committee of the liaocheng municipal people's congress held a press conference on "introducing the relevant situation of the liaocheng water environment protection regulations (2024 amendment)". meng xiandong, director of the legal affairs committee of the liaocheng municipal people's congress standing committee, introduced the main content and characteristics of the liaocheng water environment protection regulations (hereinafter referred to as the "regulations") at the press conference.
maintain the unity of the rule of law and keep it consistent with the provisions of higher lawssince the implementation of the "liaocheng water environment protection regulations" in 2018, its superior laws, such as the "environmental protection law of the people's republic of china", "water pollution prevention and control law of the people's republic of china", and "shandong province water pollution prevention and control regulations", have been amended, resulting in some provisions of the regulations being inconsistent with the current superior laws. in order to ensure that liaocheng's local regulations are always consistent with the provisions of the superior laws and maintain the unity of the country's rule of law, the relevant provisions of the original "regulations" have been amended.
strictly implement review standards and delete content that is clearly stipulated by laws and regulations.the current "water pollution prevention and control law of the people's republic of china", "environmental protection law of the people's republic of china" and other laws and regulations have detailed penalty provisions for illegal acts such as "discharging water pollutants exceeding water pollutant discharge standards or exceeding the total discharge control indicators of key water pollutants", "failing to pre-treat in accordance with regulations and discharging industrial wastewater that does not meet the treatment process requirements to centralized sewage treatment facilities", "failing to take measures such as leakage prevention, or failing to build groundwater quality monitoring wells for monitoring". following the principle that local regulations generally do not repeat the provisions of higher laws, the relevant provisions in the original "regulations" were deleted during the revision.
highlight local characteristics and refine the protection of special water bodies.in order to strengthen the protection of water bodies with special economic and cultural values and important ecological function values, the original regulations innovatively established a section on "special water body protection", which clearly included dongchang lake, beijing-hangzhou grand canal, tuhai river, majia river, jinti river, tanzhuang reservoir and county (city) reservoirs into special water bodies. however, in light of the current water body protection situation in liaocheng city, the beijing-hangzhou grand canal has been listed as a world heritage site, and more detailed special protection regulations have been formulated; tuhai river, majia river, and jinti river are drainage rivers, and they also bear the function of receiving drainage from urban sewage treatment plants, so they are not suitable to be listed as special water bodies; tanzhuang reservoir and county (city) reservoirs are drinking water sources, and they implement drinking water source protection regulations that are stricter than special water body protection. therefore, the revised regulations redefined special water bodies, included dongchang lake, chiping jinniu lake, dong'a luoshen lake, gaotang yuqiu lake, etc. into special water body protection, and refined the protection standards.
clarify the law enforcement body and specify regulatory responsibilities.in order to clarify the responsibilities of various relevant government departments, this revision further clarifies the law enforcement subjects for a number of illegal acts. for example, for "the discharge of catering sewage within the coverage of the urban sewage pipe network, without the installation of grease and residue filtration facilities that meet the standards or the failure of the grease and residue filtration facilities to operate normally", the original "regulations" stipulates: "the municipal urban management department or the relevant functional departments of the county (city, district)" shall impose penalties. in law enforcement practice, the lack of clarity in the law enforcement subject is not conducive to administrative supervision. the revised "regulations" clearly stipulates that "if the illegal act occurs in the urban area, it shall be punished by the urban management (comprehensive administrative law enforcement) department of the municipal, county (city, district) people's government; if the illegal act occurs outside the urban area, it shall be punished by the ecological environment department of the municipal people's government", thereby consolidating the responsibility of the regulatory department.
