Environmental regulatory enforcement crackdown upgrade rare earth mining chaos

November 12 State Council issued "on the strengthening of environmental regulatory enforcement notice" (the "Notice"), proposed cracked down on illegal sewage, waste-water treatment snuck severe punishment, such as five malicious violations, illegal enterprises will be included. "blacklist "to the public community. The industry believes that this measure means rare "hitting" action or become more severe, rare earth industry in standardizing order to avoid vicious competition is very favorable.

In recent years, China's rare earth smelting industry into rapid development, has become the world's largest rare earth producing countries, existing rare earth smelting enterprises up to hundreds of rare earth mineral production from 73,000 tons in 2000, increasing to 2009 129 400 ton, nearly doubled, accounting for about 95% of the world. The rapid growth of rare earth products yield economic benefits, but also poses a serious environmental pollution. Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Anwen Chinese Society of Rare Earths, said to the heavy rare earth mine in southern China as an example, in order to get 10,000 tons of heavy rare earth oxides, can cause destruction of 100 square kilometers of vegetation, the price is shocking. According to Deputy Minister of Industry and Su Bo introduced by the preliminary estimates, only the recovery of environmental pollution caused by rare earth mining due to Ganzhou, you need 38 billion yuan.

Cracked down on illegal sewage, waste-water treatment snuck severe punishment, such as five malicious violations, illegal enterprises will be included in the "blacklist" to the public.

"Notice" also requires a comprehensive clean-up of illegal construction projects completed before the end of 2016 to clean up the rectification task. Resolutely implement corrective measures, after the implementation of the law enforcement inspectors, to refuse to correct, enforcing the law. Crack down on environmental violations remain a high pressure situation. The upcoming Chinese Rare Earth Industry Development Policy clearly requires rational exploitation of rare earth resources, improve industrial concentration of rare earth, protect the environment, promote the application level rare in high-tech fields.

Rare earth industry known as "hitting" action, started last year. Last August 15, the Ministry of Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land and seven ministries, launched a three-month strike of rare earth mining, production and circulation of illegal conduct special operations, and to supervise the handling check out the problem. This year, the Ministry of eight departments jointly issued a special action program, since October 10, 2014 to March 31, 2015 to carry out special operations against illegal acts of illegal rare earth mining, production, distribution and export of the four aspects of the.
