【Bay Area Worry-Free】Environmental Impact Assessment Approval "Completed on the Same Day", Accelerating Project Service

“I never expected to get the environmental impact assessment approval so quickly. This not only helps the project get off the ground quickly but also saves a lot of time and reduces the burden,” said Mr. Li, the on-site manager of Zhongming Heavy Industry Technology (Jiangsu Nantong) Co., Ltd. Recently, the company submitted its project environmental impact assessment application materials to the one-stop window of the demonstration zone's administrative approval bureau and obtained the environmental impact assessment approval on the same day, saving nearly a month of modification and public announcement time.

When Mr. Li, the company's manager, initially consulted the administrative approval bureau's window about the environmental impact assessment procedures for his leased factory project, the approval service personnel, after reviewing the materials and understanding the project's situation, found that the project was applicable to the "informed consent" system for environmental impact assessments and immediately introduced the application process and requirements of the "informed consent" system for environmental impact assessments. After the relevant materials were prepared, the approval service personnel guided him to quickly complete the application and obtain the approval on the same day. The Zhongming Heavy Industry Technology (Jiangsu Nantong) Co., Ltd.'s annual production of 5,000 tons of steel structure project became the first project in the demonstration zone to implement the "informed consent" approval system for environmental impact assessments.

For construction projects that meet the requirements, the "informed consent" system for environmental impact assessments only requires the construction unit to make the relevant commitments as stipulated, and the approval department will issue the environmental impact assessment approval upon receipt of the application. This approval model greatly simplifies the approval procedures and processes, reduces the application materials, and significantly reduces the approval time limit, helping projects to be implemented, put into production, and constructed earlier. The Tongzhouwan Demonstration Zone Administrative Approval Bureau, based on its functions and taking the lead in piloting, has deepened the implementation of the "Implementation Plan for Further Strengthening the Linkage between Industrial Park Planning Environmental Impact Assessment and Construction Project Environmental Impact Assessment," implementing simplified environmental impact assessment content, informed consent approval, bundled approval, simplified public participation, and other methods to continuously improve the efficiency of construction project environmental impact assessment approval.

Next, the demonstration zone's administrative approval bureau will take enterprise integrity as the basis, and for matters in project approval that have controllable risks, low error correction costs, and can effectively prevent risks through in-process and post-process supervision, explore the adoption of methods such as supplementary or deficient application materials and post-placement of substantive reviews, and grant approval in advance, continuing to enhance the "Bay Worry-Free" business brand.
