The State Environmental Protection Administration issued a notice on strengthening the pollution prevention and control of chromium-containing hazardous wastes in 2003, and the following is the specific content of the notice:
Each province, autonomous region and municipality directly under the central government Environmental Protection Bureau (Office):
Cromium-containing solid waste is a kind of hazardous wastes with strong toxicity, which can be carcinogenic, and it is mainly generated in the fields of chemical industry (production of chromium compounds), metallurgy (chromium ferroalloys), light industry (electroplating), and light industry (production of chromium alloys). It is mainly generated in chemical industry (production of chromium compounds), metallurgy (chromium ferroalloys), light industry (electroplating, tanning, dyestuffs, pigments) and other production processes, especially in the production of chromium compounds by calcareous roasting and the production of chromium ferroalloys in the wet process of chromium slag is the largest in quantity and most serious in harm. Some enterprises pile up chromium-containing wastes for a long time, causing serious pollution to soil and groundwater. In order to strengthen the management of hazardous wastes, increase the pollution control of hazardous wastes, now on the environmental management of chrome-containing solid wastes are notified as follows:
First, increase the safe disposal of chrome-containing hazardous wastes and the comprehensive utilization of the strength of
1, we should strictly supervise the generation of chrome-containing hazardous wastes of enterprises to take measures to ensure that chrome-containing hazardous wastes to be disposed of environmentally sound. Enterprises can build their own facilities for disposal, can also be entrusted to other units with the disposal capacity. Chromium-containing hazardous waste storage, disposal should be in line with the "Hazardous Waste Storage Pollution Control Standards", "Hazardous Waste Landfill Pollution Control Standards", "Hazardous Waste Incineration Pollution Control Standards" and other provisions. Commissioned for disposal to be transferred, should be in accordance with the "Hazardous Waste Transfer Joint Management Measures", for the transfer of hazardous waste joint bill.
2, to encourage the comprehensive utilization of chromium-containing wastes, such as the production of self-smelting sinter ore smelting chromium-containing pig iron, cement mineralizing agent, glass coloring agent.
3, to strengthen the generation of chromium-containing hazardous wastes in the merger and bankruptcy of the supervision of enterprises, the accumulation of chromium-containing hazardous wastes of the harmless disposal and elimination of chromium contamination of the plant and the surrounding environment of the responsibility must be as an important legacy issues in the handling of mergers and bankruptcy tasks together.
Second, strengthen the pollution prevention and control of chromium compounds and ferrochrome alloy production enterprises, and accelerate the environmentally sound disposal of chromium residues
1, the chromium compounds and ferrochrome alloy production enterprises that produce chromium-containing hazardous wastes should carry out regular monitoring of chromium content in the surface water and groundwater in the factory area and waste stockpiling and disposal facilities, and take timely measures to eliminate pollution.
2, chromium compounds and ferrochrome alloy producers of chromium hazardous wastes should be left over from previous years and new chromium wastes to develop a disposal program, reported to the local environmental protection department for the record.
By the end of 2004, the disposal of chromium-containing wastes generated in the same year should be realized.
For the chromium-containing wastes left over from previous years, including simple landfills and landfills that have been filled in but do not meet the "Hazardous Waste Landfill Pollution Control Standards", the generating units should take measures to gradually realize harmless disposal and ensure that the chromium-containing wastes left over are reduced year by year.
3. New production units of chromium compounds are prohibited in environmentally sensitive areas; existing chromium compound producers or production units in environmentally sensitive areas shall not expand their scale of production and shall gradually move out of the environmentally sensitive areas.
The production and construction projects of chromium compounds shall prioritize the use of cleaner production technologies and techniques with high resource utilization and low pollutant generation; and eliminate the production technologies, techniques and equipment with calcium roasting.
It is prohibited to build chromium compound production units with an annual production scale of less than 20,000 tons.
Chromium compounds production and construction projects, its self-built hazardous waste disposal facilities must be put into operation at the same time as the production facilities; commissioned the disposal of the use of the production facilities must be implemented before the operation of the entrusted unit.
Third, the local people's governments at all levels of environmental protection departments should strengthen the generation of chromium hazardous waste enterprises supervision and management
1, the generation of chromium-containing hazardous wastes, the disposal unit as a key regulatory units, strengthen management, accelerate pollution control.
2, supervise the production of chromium compounds and ferrochrome alloy enterprises that produce chromium-containing hazardous wastes to implement chromium-containing waste disposal programs, and monitor changes in the quality of the environment and pollution of the enterprise and its surroundings.
3, for chromium-containing hazardous waste temporary storage facilities do not meet the environmental protection requirements of enterprises and long-term storage of chromium-containing hazardous waste without disposal program should be levied hazardous waste sewage charges.
4, for the serious pollution of chromium compounds and ferrochrome alloy production enterprises to implement a limited period of time; overdue disposal or disposal does not meet the requirements of the designated capable unit for disposal, in order to solve the historical legacy of chromium pollution problems as soon as possible.
5 Provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Environmental Protection Bureau (Office) of the chrome compounds and ferrochrome alloy production enterprises and their disposal of pollutants in the generation of chromium-containing hazardous wastes under their jurisdiction on December 15 each year to the State Environmental Protection Administration.
