Recently, the water quality test results of the Pengshan District environmental protection department showed that since the beginning of this year, compared with the exit and entry sections of the Baosheng section of Maohe, permanganate, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand have decreased by 39.2%, 75.6%, 87.3% and 28%, respectively, and the average surface water quality has increased from Class V to Class IV.
The improvement of Maohe water quality is just a microcosm of the effectiveness of Baosheng Township's environmental protection work.
For a long time, Baosheng Township has conscientiously implemented the concept of "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains", with the overall goal of "blue sky, green mountains, clear water and beautiful environment", innovated the working mechanism, and carried out in-depth governance of Maohe, livestock and poultry pollution, and human settlement environment, protect the clear water and blue sky, and guard the green water and green mountains.
"The past clear Maohe is back!" This is a common happy event for the villagers of Baosheng Village. As the mother river of many townships, including Baosheng Township in the district, Maohe has been seriously polluted in the past few years, and has changed from a clear river where "there are fish when you see the water" to a stinky ditch where everyone covers their noses. As the source of Maohe entering our city, Baosheng Township is polluted by riverside breeding farms, direct discharge of domestic sewage from residents, and agricultural non-point sources. The management work is even more important.
"Since 2016, the entire district has launched the river chief system to comprehensively rectify pollution problems, and the water quality of Maohe has been greatly improved." In recent years, in order to consolidate the results of governance and continuously improve the effectiveness of river management and water management, Baosheng Township has also prescribed corresponding "prescriptions" to address its own problems, and faced the severe situation that livestock and poultry breeding is a key pollution source in the Baosheng section of Maohe, especially for all kinds of breeding pollution behaviors, insisting on iron-fisted closure, iron-face punishment, and iron-minded rectification, and making every effort to promote the improvement of water environment quality. Today, the water quality of Maohe has been stable at Class IV or above for a long time. In terms of livestock and poultry pollution, in order to follow the requirements of volume control, production reduction, production conversion and breeding, Baosheng Township innovatively proposed the "four three" mechanism, namely, formulated two measures: "three restrictions" and "three brand supervision", strictly enforced the "three iron laws" and "three laws" rules, and achieve both the symptoms and root causes of livestock and poultry pollution control.
"The 'three restrictions' are to implement restricted breeding throughout the region, demarcate prohibited breeding areas and breedable areas, and reduce breeding areas." According to the relevant person in charge of the township, this approach can limit the breeding quantity for breeders, determine the number of breeding based on their consumption capacity, control the breeding scale, and reduce the breeding farmers above a certain scale. The "three-card supervision" implements red, yellow, and blue card supervision for large breeders, general breeders, and retail breeders, respectively, and cadres at all levels are responsible for conducting inspections and supervision at different frequency. The "three iron rules" and "three uniform rules" are the requirements for livestock and poultry breeding and the penalties for different pollution. At present, the township has reduced 3 breeding areas, 28 breeders above the scale, 34 breeders below the scale, and more than 2,200 square meters of breeding sites. The annual pig output in the township has been reduced from more than 80,000 to less than 40,000.
In terms of innovating the "three three systems" of environmental governance, the township puts responsibility on the "head" and combines environmental governance with its own work. "The 'three three system' means clarifying the 'three responsibilities', adhering to the 'three examinations and evaluations', and implementing the 'three linkage'." A relevant person in charge of Baosheng Township said that the first thing is to clarify the administrative responsibilities of the village [community], the main responsibilities of farmers and owners, and the "two" responsibilities of the road and street chief. A "road chief and street chief public notice sign" was set up in a prominent position in 6 villages and 1 community, responsible for the supervision of environmental sanitation inspections in the jurisdiction and sections, and to accept and deal with complaints from the people about environmental problems. At the same time, the township adheres to the monthly inspection, quarterly assessment and annual assessment systems, and provides corresponding work funds based on the assessment results. In addition, Baosheng Township also implements linkage between sanitation and cleaning management, linkage between environmental governance reporting, and linkage between governance results, and effectively carry out environmental governance work.
You will get rewards if you pay. Recently, Luo Wandong, secretary of the Pengshan District Party Committee of Pengshan , led a team to conduct research in Baosheng Township and affirmed the work of the township. It is also pointed out that green waters and green mountains are important resources for Baosheng Township, and the development of Baosheng Township should make good use and protect this green waters and green mountains. Baosheng Township is now beautiful and beautiful in the mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery, which is the best practice.
