Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission website Lv Jiarong reported Yangtze River Economic Belt is not only an economic development belt with huge potential, but also an ecological barrier belt that concerns the good fortune and good fortune of descendants. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to the ecological environment protection work of the Yangtze River, setting the general tone and prerequisite for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to "jointly protect the big protection and not engage in big development".
However, illegal sand mining and sand making still cause ecological damage problems. Recently, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision publicly reported 6 typical cases of ecological and environmental problems in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and a total of 120 public officials who were dereliction of duty were held accountable. Among them, Taoyuan County Yisheng Building Materials Factory illegally occupied forest land in the Daliang River Basin and engaged in breeding, illegally mining and sand making to damage the ecological environment, which is eye-catching.
has long been illegally occupied by the forest land of the Taohuayuan Scenic Spot to make sand, and the vegetation ecological damage has been severely damaged
On January 28, 2022, the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee collectively watched the "2021 Yangtze River Economic Belt Ecological Environment Warning Film", which disclosed the illegal sand mining of Yisheng Building Materials Factory in the Daliang River Basin, Guanyinsi Town, Taoyuan County. The Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee made special arrangements, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision arranged and dispatched overnight, and assigned the Changde Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to quickly follow up on investigation and disposal, and supervise and promote the rectification and implementation of related issues.
"On January 29, the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took us to check the situation on the spot in the snow." Chen Long, a staff member of the Changde Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, told reporters that after the problem was exposed, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, jointly with the Taoyuan County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, established an investigation team and rushed to the scene to conduct an investigation. Taoyuan held an enlarged meeting of the county party committee standing committee overnight to study the rectification plan, requiring continuous operation and full efforts to rectify.
joint investigation team found that by the Dali Creek in Yuanjiang, in the planning scope of the Taohuayuan Scenic Area (level 3 protection zone), which should have beautiful scenery and dense vegetation, sand and gravel raw materials, sand making and sand transportation equipment were piled up everywhere, the loess in the 17 acres of area were exposed, the mountain was artificially damaged, and a company factory was also built in Linhe.

Joint investigation team promotes investigation and disposal work in a special project model. Through on-site surveys, visiting the masses, collecting information, etc., it was found that the forest land within the planning scope of the Taohuayuan Scenic Area for a long time was found. Its actual controller Yin Mou has been engaged in activities such as breeding, sand mining and sand making.
"According to regulations, scenic spots are not allowed to build engineering projects that damage landscapes and pollute the environment." Chen Long said that Yin has been engaged in the construction industry for a long time and is well aware of the large demand for sand and gravel market. In order to facilitate the direct processing of river sand into fine sand, reduce transportation costs and make huge profits, Yin decided to take risks and set up the factory near the Dalian River sand mining area.
approval and control is not strict, and there are corruption and work style issues hidden behind dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty and work style
In the interview, the case handlers repeatedly mentioned "debt of duty" to reporters.
Joint investigation team sorted out Yin's illegal production and operation process since 2009 and found that the lack of strict approval and control of relevant leading cadres of forestry, natural resources, urban investment companies, local party committees and governments, and poor supervision and law enforcement are important reasons for the occurrence and continuation of the illegal act.
In October 2018, Yin applied for temporary land use in the name of a sand and gravel yard for the 600,000 tons of machine sand production project. Article 26 of the " Scenic Scenic Area Regulations " promulgated by the State Council in September 2006 clearly stipulates that mining and other activities that damage landscapes, vegetation and topography are prohibited in scenic spots. The temporary land applied for by Yin is a forest land and is within the planning scope of the Taohuayuan Scenic Spot. It should not be licensed. However, some staff members of Guanyin Temple Town were neglected to supervise and failed to find that this temporary land was within the planning scope of the Taohuayuan Scenic Spot, which led to Yin's application "hiddenly hiding the world" and mixed into the approval process of the county forestry bureau in a blatant way.
In order to get his application to be approved as soon as possible, Yin thought of the trick of "please ask for help". He found Xiong Moumou, then secretary of the Party Committee of Guanyin Temple Town, and asked him to say hello to the county forestry bureau. Relevant personnel from the County Forestry Bureau signed the principled opinion of "Agree to handle in accordance with the law and regulations" on the approval form due to circumstances, but did not issue a review and consent document. However, this principled opinion plays an important role in the approval of temporary land use.
negligence, due to human feelings, and untrue style... Temporary land that should not have been permitted has been broken through layer by layer under the aid of these dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.
Through in-depth investigation, the staff found that the "original degeneration" reflected behind the supervision failure. The joint investigation team further explored the corruption and work style issues behind the ecological and environmental problems. focused on the approval of violations and the transfer of interests. Through in-depth investigation and careful analysis of public officials who are close to Yin, some public officials were found to be suspected of violating discipline and laws.
It is understood that among the 37 people investigated and held accountable in this case, one person was suspected of accepting bribes, another 6 people had improper economic transactions such as investment or received gifts from Yin, and 11 people had formalism and bureaucracy. For example, Xiong Moumou, then secretary of the Party Committee of Guanyin Temple Town, had violations of discipline and law, such as accepting gifts from Yin's New Year greetings and accepting him to arrange a vehicle to travel.
consolidated and deepened the special supervision of "Dongting Qingbo", and held accountable for dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty in ecological and environmental protection work. After hiring the problem, under the deployment and dispatch of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision and the supervision of the Changde Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, the Changde Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau took the lead in supervision, the municipal forestry department cooperated, and the Taoyuan County Party Committee and County Government implemented the main responsibility for rectification. immediately closed the Yisheng Building Materials Factory, demolished relevant facilities, and completed the soil covering and re-greening work of 17 acres of land in the Dali River Basin with high standards within 20 days.

While promoting the rectification of the problem, the joint investigation team distinguished three types of general dereliction of duty, serious dereliction of duty, and serious violations of discipline and suspected of violations of duty according to the circumstances of violations of discipline and law, and dealt with them in three batches in accordance with regulations, discipline and law. As of now, the municipal and county discipline inspection and supervision commissions have held 37 party members, cadres and public officials accountable, including one person taking detention measures (he has been expelled from the party and public office and transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with the law), 19 people were given party discipline and administrative sanctions, and 17 people were given organizational disciplinary measures.
In accordance with the requirements of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, the Changde Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision and Taoyuan County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision analyzed the causes of the problems in depth, learned from one example and carried out special rectification of prominent problems involving sand and minerals in depth, established a reward reporting mechanism for cracking down on illegal sand mining, investigated and rectified 60 specific problems, and issued supervision recommendations to departments such as natural resources, forestry, and ecological environment to urge them to investigate and fill in the gaps and establish the entire chapter.
reporter learned that in the next step, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision will focus on preventing violations of regulations, discipline and laws in the field of ecological and environmental protection, focus on key links in ecological and environmental protection, and strengthen supervision and inspection of inaction and arbitrary actions in advance and process links such as "high energy consumption, high emissions" project approval, administrative licensing of ecological and environmental protection projects, and strictly investigate and deal with five aspects of problems such as formalism, bureaucracy, false rectification, digital rectification, and delayed rectification in the process of rectification of ecological and environmental problems. At the same time, urge all functional departments to conduct a type analysis of the causes of prominent ecological and environmental problems, and through establishing rules and regulations and implementing classified policies, we will promote functional departments to form a number of institutional achievements in scientific and precise pollution control, and accelerate the resolution of ecological and environmental pollution problems from treating symptoms to treating root causes.
