Measures for the pilot implementation of linkage between environmental impact assessment of Beijing industrial park planning and environmental impact assessment of construction projects

　　In order to implement the State Council’s Opinions on Developing Pilot Work of Business Environment Innovation (Guo Fa [2021] No.24) and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment’s Opinions on Further Strengthening the Planning Environmental Impact Assessment of Industrial Parks (EIA [2020] No.65), meet the requirements of "three lines and one order" ecological environment zoning control, give full play to the macro-leading role of planning environmental impact assessment, and continuously optimize the business environment, To promote the linkage between the planning environmental impact assessment of industrial parks (hereinafter referred to as "planning EIA") and the environmental impact assessment of construction projects (hereinafter referred to as "project EIA"), and to promote the quality improvement and efficiency improvement of project EIA, these Measures are formulated in accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Regulations on Planning Environmental Impact Assessment, and the Regulations of Beijing Municipality on Optimizing the Business Environment.

　　I. Basic requirements

　　In industrial parks where the environmental quality meets the relevant assessment requirements of the state and this Municipality and the environmental management system is relatively sound, the linkage reform of planning EIA and project EIA will be implemented. According to the degree of environmental impact and environmental risk, the construction projects settled in industrial parks will be classified and optimized for environmental impact assessment procedures, and supervision during and after the event will be strengthened, management methods will be changed, management efficiency will be improved, and the reform of examination and approval system will be deepened to promote the high-quality development of industrial parks.

　　Second, the scope of application

　　(1) An industrial park shall meet the following conditions

　　1. The planning EIA has been completed in accordance with the law, and the conclusions and review opinions of the planning EIA have been adopted and implemented;

　　2. The environmental quality of the industrial park conforms to the relevant assessment requirements of the state and this Municipality in the previous year, and has not been included in the regional approval scope by the competent department of ecological environment;

　　3. The environmental infrastructure of the industrial park is perfect and stable;

　　4. The environmental management and risk prevention and control system of the industrial park is sound and no major environmental incidents have occurred in the past five years.

　　The list of industrial parks linked by planning EIA and project EIA shall be issued by the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment according to the principle of "mature batch and promote batch".

　　(two) the construction project shall meet the following conditions

　　The construction projects settled in the industrial park meet the planning function orientation and layout of the park and the environmental access requirements of the "three lines and one single" ecological environment zoning control and planning environmental assessment in this city.

　　Third, the linkage content and requirements

　　In accordance with the relevant provisions of the state and the classified management of environmental impact assessment of construction projects in this Municipality, the procedures for optimizing environmental impact assessment of construction projects in industrial parks shall be handled:

　　(A) the decentralization of examination and approval authority

　　For the construction projects settled in the industrial park, except those which belong to the approval authority and confidential level of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the environmental impact assessment documents of other construction projects are approved by the competent department of ecology and environment in the area where the industrial park is located. If it is inconsistent with the Catalogue of Construction Projects with the Management Authority of Environmental Impact Assessment Document of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment (2022 edition), this document shall prevail. Unless otherwise provided by the municipal government, such provisions shall prevail.

　　(2) Exempting from handling environmental impact assessment procedures.

　　1. Construction projects that should fill in the environmental impact registration form according to the classified management list of environmental impact assessment of national construction projects and the detailed implementation regulations of this Municipality may be exempted from filing the environmental impact registration form.

　　2. According to the classified management list of environmental impact assessment of national construction projects and the detailed regulations of this Municipality, the environmental impact report form should be prepared and the construction projects in the "List of Projects Exempted from Environmental Assessment Procedures in Industrial Parks" (see Annex 1) are exempt from environmental impact assessment procedures.

　　(3) Optimize the procedures for environmental impact assessment.

　　Construction projects that are not included in the "List of Environmental Risk Management and Control Projects in Industrial Parks" (see Annex 2) and should prepare an environmental impact report (table) according to the classified management list of environmental impact assessment of national construction projects and the detailed implementation regulations of this Municipality may be subject to the management of notification commitment for examination and approval. With specific reference to the Notice of the Beijing Municipal People’s Government Administrative Examination and Approval System Reform Office on Printing and Distributing the Administrative Measures for the Approval of Informed Commitments of Administrative Services in Beijing (Beijing Trial Reform Office [2020] No.1); If publicity is required according to law, a formal reply will be issued to the construction unit after the completion of publicity.

　　(4) Innovative handling methods

　　The same type of small and micro enterprise projects, on the basis of clarifying the corresponding responsible subjects, can be bundled to carry out environmental impact assessment approval, and put forward pollution prevention and control requirements in a unified way, and individual projects will not repeat environmental impact assessment.

　　(E) Simplify the evaluation content

　　According to the classified management list of environmental impact assessment of national construction projects and the detailed regulations of this Municipality, the environmental impact report (table) should be prepared, and the relevant evaluation contents should be simplified, including:

　　1. No longer analyze the relevant laws, regulations and ecological environment protection policies that have been discussed in the planning EIA;

　　2. The environmental rationality and feasibility of site selection can refer to the conclusion of planning EIA;

　　3. The content of environmental function zone judgment can directly refer to the conclusion of planning EIA;

　　4. The results of environmental status monitoring and environmental quality status evaluation can refer to the effective data and related contents in the planning EIA (except that the regional environmental quality shows a downward trend or the project adds new characteristic pollutants);

　　5. If the infrastructure of the supported industrial park has been running stably, the project EIA only needs to explain the supporting situation, and there is no need to carry out the supporting feasibility analysis.

　　(6) linkage of pollutant discharge permit

　　Bundling to carry out EIA projects, enterprises (construction units) in the application for sewage permits can be bundled EIA approval as their EIA approval documents; For projects exempted from environmental assessment procedures, settled enterprises (construction units) do not need to provide environmental impact assessment documents when applying for pollutant discharge permits.

　　Iv. identification procedures

　　The Municipal Bureau of Eco-environment, in combination with the "three lines and one order" eco-environment zoning control requirements and planning EIA requirements of this Municipality, organizes the identification of linkage between planning EIA and project EIA according to the development of planning EIA of industrial parks in this Municipality; The competent departments of ecological environment in each district shall be responsible for organizing the declaration work to be included in the linkage pilot industrial park within their respective jurisdictions. The relevant procedures are as follows:

　　(1) declaration
