Relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:
First, fully understand the importance of dust control on construction sites and roads.
A good ecological environment is an inherent requirement for realizing the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and a priority area for improving people’s livelihood and well-being. Strengthening the protection of ecological environment, resolutely fighting the tough battle of pollution prevention and winning the blue sky defense war are the major decision-making arrangements of the party and the state, which are related to meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life, building a well-off society in an all-round way, high-quality economic development and the construction of beautiful China. Local housing and urban and rural construction departments at all levels and relevant departments should thoroughly implement the ecological civilization thought of the supreme leader, perform their duties and responsibilities, and further strengthen the dust control work on construction sites and roads, so as to significantly reduce the days of heavy pollution, significantly improve the ambient air quality, and significantly enhance people’s blue sky happiness.
Second, strictly implement the responsibility of dust control on the construction site
Local departments in charge of housing and urban and rural construction at all levels and relevant departments shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution, strengthen supervision according to laws and regulations, and strictly urge construction units and construction units to implement the responsibility of dust control at construction sites.
(a) the responsibility of the construction unit. The construction unit shall include the cost of preventing and controlling dust pollution in the project cost, and specify the responsibility of the construction unit for preventing and controlling dust pollution in the construction contract. The construction unit shall cover the exposed ground for the construction site that cannot be started temporarily; For more than three months, it shall be afforested, paved or covered.
(2) the responsibility of the construction unit. The construction unit shall formulate a specific implementation plan for the prevention and control of construction dust pollution, and publicize the information on the prevention and control measures of dust pollution, the person in charge and the competent department of dust supervision and management at the construction site. Construction units shall take effective measures to prevent dust and reduce dust pollution during construction, and do a good job in dust pollution prevention and control.
(3) The responsibilities of the regulatory authorities. According to the responsibilities determined by the local people’s government, the local competent departments of housing and urban and rural construction at all levels and relevant departments should strictly supervise the construction dust, strengthen the supervision and inspection of the construction site, and order the construction unit and the construction unit to make corrections and impose a fine in accordance with the regulations; Refuses to correct, shall be ordered to stop rectification. According to the requirements of the local people’s government’s emergency plan for heavily polluted weather, emergency measures are taken to stop the earthwork operation on the site and demolish the building.
Three, actively take measures to prevent dust and dust in the construction site.
Local competent departments of housing and urban and rural construction at all levels and relevant departments should strictly follow the provisions of the Standards for Safety Inspection of Building Construction and the Standards for Environment and Hygiene of Construction Sites, strengthen inspections and spot checks on construction sites, and urge construction units and construction units to actively take effective dust-proof and dust-reduction measures to improve the level of civilized construction and green construction.
(a) the construction site closed management. Within the city, the construction site of main road sections shall be provided with a closed enclosure with a height of not less than 2.5m, and the construction site of general road sections shall be provided with a closed enclosure with a height of not less than 1.8m. The enclosed enclosure of the construction site shall be firm, stable, neat and beautiful.
(2) Strengthen material management. Building materials, components and tools at the construction site shall be packed according to the general layout. Ready-mixed concrete and ready-mixed mortar should be used in the construction site within the specified area; The places where in-situ mixing concrete or mortar is used should be closed, dusted and noise reduced; Cement and other fine-grained building materials that are easy to fly should be sealed or covered.
(3) Pay attention to dust suppression. Measures should be taken to prevent dust in earthwork on the construction site, and the main roads should be cleaned and sprinkled regularly. When demolishing buildings or structures, noise reduction and dust reduction measures such as isolation and watering should be adopted, and wastes should be cleaned up in time. When milling, cutting and other operations are carried out during construction, effective dust prevention measures should be taken; Lime soil and inorganic binding materials should be ready-mixed and sprayed with water to reduce dust during rolling.
(four) hardening the road and cleaning the vehicle. The ground of the main roads and material processing areas on the construction site should be hardened, the roads should be smooth, and the pavement should be smooth and solid. Measures such as covering, curing or greening should be taken for exposed sites and piled earthwork. Vehicle washing facilities should be set up at the entrance and exit of the construction site, and the driven vehicles should be cleaned.
(five) removal of construction waste. Earthwork and construction waste should be transported by closed transport vehicles or covered measures. The construction waste in the building should be transported by instruments or pipelines, and it is strictly forbidden to throw it at will. It is forbidden to burn all kinds of wastes on the construction site.
(6) Strengthen monitoring. Encourage the construction site to install online monitoring and video monitoring equipment, and network with relevant local authorities. When the ambient air quality index reaches moderate or above pollution, the construction site should increase the frequency of sprinkling water, strengthen the covering measures, and reduce the construction work that is easy to cause air pollution.
Fourth, actively promote road dust control
Local housing and urban and rural construction (environmental sanitation) departments at all levels should strengthen the control of urban road dust, and take effective dust reduction and dust prevention measures to reduce road dust.
