Study On The Permit System Of Sewage Discharge In China

The pollutant discharge permit system is a kind of administrative management system adopted by the state to strengthen environmental management.It specifically refers to the unit or individual that needs to discharge pollutants applying for the pollutant discharge permit to the environmental protection department according to the law.The environmental protection department allows the applicant to discharge a certain amount of pollutants according to law and issues the pollutant discharge permit.Discharge permit system in China has more than 30 years of experience,its history can be divided into three stages: to implement water pollutant total amount control for the purpose of environmental management,by means of emission permits the pollution prevention management of the period and the time of formation of the "YiZhengShi" discharge permit system,at each stage,discharge permit system has played a huge role,but there are still many problems.For example,the level of special legislation is relatively low,mainly in the form of departmental regulations.The scope of application is narrow,the main object of regulation or water pollutants and air pollutants;It is not well connected with other relevant systems,and there are disjointed,overlapped or even conflicting systems to varying degrees.The unscientific supervision system leads to unclear powers and responsibilities of various departments and even no supervision.The regulations on corporate responsibility are not perfect,the penalties are relatively light,and illegal emission of pollutants keeps emerging.Through studying and studying the foreign emission permit system and combining with the actual situation of China,the following Suggestions are put forward to improve the emission permit system of China: formulate the emission permit management regulations as soon as possible,so that the specific operation of the emission permit system can be followed by laws;We will expand the scope of application of the pollution discharge permit system and gradually bring sources of solid waste and environmental noise into the scope of application.Realize the integration of pollutant discharge permit system and other related systems,and vigorously promote the management mode of "one type" emission permit system;We will improve the monitoring system for pollution discharge permit system and ensure that pollution discharge permit is fully monitored.We will strengthen the responsibilities of enterprises in the emission permit system and urge them to discharge pollutants strictly in accordance with the contents of the emission permit.
