Adhere to the high position, promote and emphasize the "four in place"

Guangdong Province has a wide range of fixed pollution sources, with the largest total number in the country, and it is the province with the heaviest task of full coverage of sewage permits. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Guangdong Provincial Government attach great importance to the work of pollutant discharge permits. At the beginning of this year, the provincial party committee secretary and provincial governor jointly issued Provincial pollution Prevention and Control Battle Command No. 1 2020, which was regarded as one of the important tasks in the decisive battle of tackling pollution. The 2020 teleconference on eco-environmental protection in the province requires the linkage of provinces and cities and the interaction of departments to achieve the "four places" of propaganda and guidance, assistance and guidance, clean-up and rectification, and supervision and law enforcement. The leaders of the provinces in charge have also made important instructions on the work related to pollution discharge permits for many times, and have made special arrangements for the work of full coverage of pollution discharge permits.

The Provincial Department of Ecological Environment has set up a leading group for the implementation of the pollution discharge permit system headed by the director, and established a guarantee mechanism for the full coverage of pollution discharge permits for clean-up and rectification of fixed pollution sources. the leaders of the department formed three guarantee groups to guide 21 prefectures and cities in the province, and went to the front line for on-site supervision many times to coordinate and solve local difficult problems and implement tasks in various stages in an orderly and effective manner. The leaders of many prefectures and municipal governments made special research plans, and the main responsible comrades of the ecological and environmental departments of various prefectures and cities also took the lead in "supervising the war," and strengthened their linkage with a number of local departments, actively mobilized grass-roots forces, and made all-out efforts to promote the registration of pollutant discharge permits.

Help grass-roots work experts to form a group to help

As the application and issuance of pollutant discharge permits is highly technical, the Provincial Department of Ecological Environment has specially organized three technical support units to help 21 prefectures and cities with "one city, one policy" and key cities, and set up QQ groups for grass-roots ecological and environmental departments and third-party technical institutions, which provide strong technical support for local pollution discharge permit work. Organize 4 phases of video training on pollutant discharge permit management in the province.

In addition, in order to meet the needs of COVID-19 's epidemic prevention and control, ecological and environmental departments at all levels in the province have also actively used information means, adopting video work meetings, online video classes, live training, and other ways, to increase training and guidance for grass-roots staff and enterprise personnel.
