EIA Classification and Management Directory

Legal analysis: first, focusing on key points, the environmental impact of the industry to strictly check; second, scientific and reasonable, as far as possible, and the National Economic Industry Classification corresponds to; third, it is appropriate to simplify the simple, the environmental impact factor is a single, mature environmental management measures, environmental risks can be controlled to do the appropriate simplification of the adjustment of the project; fourth is the system of articulation, can be through the registration of sewage permits to regulate the directory no longer required to Fill in the EIA registration form. The revised List consists of seven main articles and tables including 55 primary industries and 173 secondary industries. The new "List" firstly clarifies the principle of no EIA outside the list, and puts forward that "construction projects that are not stipulated are not included in the management of environmental impact assessment of construction projects", and at the same time clarifies the way to include EIA for new industry projects that are really necessary, such as the projects of new industries.

The second is to further define the EIA of the reconstruction and expansion projects that do not involve the main project, and make it clear that the classification should be determined in accordance with the contents of the reconstruction and expansion projects, so as to solve the "high but not low" problem in the implementation.

Third, strengthen the connection with the sewage licensing system. Agri-food processing, equipment manufacturing and other industries that can be managed through the sewage permit registration, as well as environmental impact of egg processing, catering, entertainment and bathing establishments, agricultural reclamation, general warehouses, etc. will no longer fill out the environmental impact registration form, *** involving 40 secondary industries; in addition, the introduction of the concept of "industrial buildings", clear wine, beverages In addition, the introduction of "industrial buildings" concept, clear wine, beverages, manufacturing and other 26 secondary industries, only located in industrial buildings into the EIA management.

Fourth, reduce the environmental impact assessment category of some projects. Such as grain milling, etc., from the report down to the report form; small-scale centralized disposal of domestic waste, etc., from the report down to the registration form; desulfurization and denitrification of environmental protection projects, etc., from the report form down to the registration form, **** there are 51 secondary industries to varying degrees of simplification.

Fifth, five new subcategories of ecological impact industries into the management of EIA, mainly including artificial lakes, carbon dioxide geological sequestration, mudslides and other geologic hazards management projects, mine ecological restoration, marine ecological restoration; tighten the large-scale sea water aquaculture, oil and gas extraction involving sensitive areas, such as the management of the EIA of the 10 second-tier industries, and appropriately increase the EIA categorization.

Legal basis: "Classified Management List of Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects (2021 Edition)

Article 1 In order to implement the classified management of environmental impact assessment of construction projects, this list is formulated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment of the People's Republic of China.

Article 2 According to the characteristics of the construction project and the degree of environmental sensitivity of the region where it is located, the environmental impact assessment of the construction project shall be classified and managed by comprehensively considering the possible impact of the construction project on the environment. The construction unit shall, in accordance with the provisions of this list, organize the preparation of environmental impact report, environmental impact report form or fill in the environmental impact registration form of the construction project.

Article 3 The environmentally sensitive areas referred to in this list refer to the various types of protected areas at all levels established by law and the areas that are particularly sensitive to the environmental impacts of construction projects, including the following areas:

(1) national parks, nature reserves, scenic spots, world cultural and natural heritage sites, marine special protection zones, and drinking water source protection zones;

(2) In addition to (a) the red line of ecological protection control area, basic farmland, basic grassland, natural parks (forest parks, geological parks, marine parks, etc.), important wetlands, natural forests, habitats of wild animals under key protection, breeding places of wild plants under key protection, natural spawning, baiting, wintering and migratory corridors of important aquatic organisms, natural fisheries, key soil and water erosion prevention zones, and key control zones. (c) Areas with the main functions of residence, medical and health care, culture and education, scientific research, administrative offices, as well as cultural relics protection units. The environmental impact report and environmental impact report form should analyze the impact of the construction project on environmentally sensitive areas.
