On December 20 and 21, after an inspection of Zhenhai District and Beilun District, Wang Huizhong, Member of the Standing Committee of Zhejiang Provincial Part Committee and Secretary of Ningbo Municipal Party Committee, pointed out that environmental protection will be the focus of next year's work for Ningbo. The government will make great efforts to protect the eco-environment and build Ningbo into a more beautiful and livable city.
On the afternoon of December 20, accompanied by some related officials, Wang Huizhong and Vice-mayor Wang Renzhou arrived in Zhenhai District to have an on-site inspection of Zhehai Environmental Monitoring and Control Center. After watching the monitoring, Wang Huizhong said that eco-environment is people's major concern, so it is important to have strict monitoring and law enforcement. It is also important to provide convenient and open accesses to information for the people. The inspection team also went to Zhenhai Metal Industrial Park and the Coal Wharf of Zhehai Port of Ningbo Port Bureau. Wang Huizhong carefully examined their operation and requested the two units to take effective measures to implement transformation or transfer for the improvement of the eco-environment as soon as possible.
On the morning of December 21, accompanied by Chen Lixing, Member of the Standing Committee of Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of Beilun District Party Committee, Wang Huizhong arrived at Beilun Yandong Drainage Corporation to inspect the sewage treatment and reclaimed water reuse project. Wang Huizhong was pleased to hear about the sewage treatment capacity of 210,000 tons and the daily water regeneration capacity of 100,000 tons, and commented that this is a kind of "win-win" situation of economy and environment. The inspection team also examined the comprehensive afterheat utilization project of Beilun Electricity Plant, which has respectively reduced sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide by 14,000 tons and 940,000 tons since its operation. Wang Huizhong praised the effectiveness of the project in environmental protection and pointed out that it is sensible to encourage and promote similar projects to recycle the resources for a better environment.
During the inspection, Wang Huizhong listened to the reports of this year's work and next year's working plans of the two districts. He said that the governments should actively respond to the people’s concern for environment and make eco-civilization construction their priority to promote green, recycling and low-carbon development. They should make efforts to address the environmental issues and let the people see and feel the significant improvement of the eco-environment. Great efforts should also be made to reduce the emission of pollutants to such an extent as not only to meet the standards of the monitoring indexes but also to make the people feel the difference, thus avoiding the conflicts between monitoring indexes and the people’s senses. According to the regional industrial characteristics, the governments should focus on the comprehensive treatment of organic gases, coal dusts and vehicle emissions, the standardized construction of buildings and the improvement of facility protection to reduce the air pollution. Finally, it is desirable to strengthen the inland river improvement and forest coverage rate in order to build Ningbo a beautiful city suitable for both residence and industry.
