From May 30th to June 7th, the first batch of central environmental protection inspectors "looked back" and successively stationed in 10 provinces (regions). "Looking back" is like a high-hanging mirror. Just a few days after moving in, some "fake rectification" are exposed.
On June 9, the Central Fourth Environmental Protection Inspector Group made an unannounced visit and found that Taizhou Taixing Binjiang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. in Jiangsu Province illegally dumped tens of thousands of tons of sludge on the banks of the Yangtze River. In July 2016, the first round of central environmental protection inspectors received reports from the masses and transferred them as key cases. Almost two years later, the inspector group found that sludge accumulation was still increasing substantially, posing a great threat to the surrounding environment and the water quality safety of the Yangtze River;
The Central Fifth Environmental Protection Inspector Group (Guangxi) inspected Qinzhou and Fangchenggang, and found that a group of "scattered and polluted" small smelting enterprises that should be eliminated in Qinzhou were still producing illegally, seriously polluting the environment, but the relevant departments of the autonomous region announced impressively that they had completed the rectification;
On June 8th, the Third Environmental Protection Inspector Group of the Central Committee randomly checked the problem of leaking leachate from Xiangyang Landfill in Xiangfang District in Harbin, and found that the relevant parties in Harbin paid insufficient attention to the first round of the transfer of central environmental protection inspectors, and closed the case with false reports from the masses without investigation. In the process of this covert investigation, local villagers came to Xiangyang landfill one after another to provide the inspector group with evidence of stealing video;
When the Central First Environmental Protection Inspector Group inspected the leather washing factory in the west of Dongfengzhuang Village, Wuji County, Shijiazhuang City, it was found that the environmental problems reported by the masses still existed in the first round of inspections, and the rectification results of local feedback were quite different from the on-site verification by the Inspector Group. The sewage from the leather washing factory was directly discharged into the ditch, black and smelly;
On June 1, the mass report phone provided clues for the Second Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group stationed in Ningxia: 13 of the 23 report phones reflected the odor pollution of Terry Pharmaceutical. On-site inspection by the inspector group found that Tairui Pharmaceutical was suspected of surface rectification;

The reporter sorted out the typical problems encountered by this round of inspectors’ "looking back" and found that most of them were the cases reported by the masses that had been accepted in the first round of feedback from the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group. After nearly two years, they were not solved, and illegal production enterprises either played the game of "cat and mouse" or did not shut down at all. However, the feedback from the local government and the conclusion announced to the public are "completed".
These incidents reflect that some local party committees and governments have perfunctory responses to the report information fed back by the central environmental protection inspector, and the rectification is not in place, resulting in environmental pollution problems that have not been solved for many years, environmental risks in some places have further intensified, and people have complained.
Li Jiheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, recently gave instructions on the problems discovered by the inspector group. He believed that the problem of false rectification of the wood processing factory in Ximengou immigrant new village in Hohhot and Linger County "is a typical case of false rectification, coping with rectification and perfunctory rectification, and its nature is very bad. We must seriously pursue responsibility and accountability according to the law and regulations, and will never tolerate it." On the same day, the Party Committee and the General Office of the Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector’s "Looking Back" while supervising and reforming, requiring all localities and departments to improve their political positions, compact the responsibility for rectification, put an end to fraud, and ensure that the work of supervising and reforming is effective.
In the training class before the departure of the inspector group, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment pointed out that this "looking back" is to keep a close eye on the implementation of the inspector’s report and rectification plan approved by the central government, focus on key issues and key tasks, focus on the right place, focus on the end, focus on implementation, and never let go until the problem is completely solved.
It can be seen that "looking back" is not only a "marking and scoring" of the last round of inspector rectification, but also a "return visit" to the provinces and regions, forcing the responsibility to be implemented; It is not only a comprehensive "work physical examination", but also a concentrated "political physical examination".
At the training meeting of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector’s "Looking Back", the relevant person in charge of the State Environmental Protection Inspector’s Office particularly emphasized that "it is necessary to focus on the inspector’s ineffective rectification, even ‘ Surface rectification ’ ‘ Pretend to rectify ’ ‘ Perfunctory rectification ’ Formalism and bureaucracy in the field of ecological environmental protection, etc., and strike hard ‘ One size fits all ’ Lazy politics, lazy behavior, passive coping and neglect of responsibility in inspector rectification, as well as disorderly supervision, soft supervision, and governance, and solidly promote the implementation of central decision-making. "
The first meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, held on March 28th this year, emphasized the need to promote the in-depth development of environmental protection inspectors. The National Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection held on May 18th once again emphasized that all localities and departments should resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of ecological civilization construction.
The typical cases of formalism and bureaucracy found in this round of "looking back" fully reveal that some local party committees and governments and relevant departments do not know enough about their ecological and environmental protection responsibilities, and do not act or take responsibility.
Highlighting environmental problems is exactly what the people are looking forward to and anxious about. Pretending to be a snake and doing superficial things will only delay the timing of environmental governance and damage the image of the party and the government. Only by tackling difficulties, steadily and steadily, insisting that the goal is not deviated, being responsible and conscientious, and winning the trust of the people with practical results, can we truly practice the "most inclusive people’s livelihood and well-being" and truly pursue the party’s mission.
