生态环境部：重点排污和环境风险管控单位名录管理规定（征求意见稿）
Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Provisions on the Management of Lists of Key Pollution Discharge and Environmental Risk Control Units (Draft for Consultation)
在原《重点排污单位名录管理规定（试行）》基础上修订。
新规定将管理对象划分为重点排污和环境风险管控两大类，其中重点排污单位包括大气、水重点排污单位，环境风险管控单位包括大气、水、土壤和其他四类。规定明确了重点排污单位筛选的污染物种类，实行差别化的筛选条件，针对性解决法律法规中对重点排污单位和重点环境风险管控单位的不同筛选和监管要求。
The Provisions is revised on the basis of the original provisions on the administration of the list of key pollutant discharge units.
The new Provisions divides the management objects into two major categories: key pollution discharge and environmental risk control. The key pollution discharge units include air and water key pollution discharge units, and the environmental risk control units include Air, Water, Soil and Others four categories. The Provisions clarifies the types of pollutants screened by key pollutants, implements differentiated screening conditions, and specifically addresses the different screening and supervision requirements for key pollutants and key environmental risk control units in laws and regulations.
生态环境部：关于开展工业固体废物排污许可管理工作的通知（征求意见稿）
Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Notice on Carrying out the Management of Industrial Solid Waste Discharge Permits (Draft for Consultation)
新修订的《固废法》明确提出“产生工业固体废物的单位应当取得排污许可证”要求。为落实法律要求，通知制定了工业固体废物纳入排污许可证相关管理要求、实施步骤、关注重点。
为了统一规范工业固废纳入排污许可证的技术要求，环保部制定了固废技术规范，替代已发布的含有工业固废要求的45 个技术规范（见附表 1）中相关内容。
按照平稳延续原则，对通知发布前已经取得排污许可证单位，不强制要求其在排污许可证有效期内申请变更以增加工业固废内容，而是通过排污许可证到期延续或由于其他原因申请变更时一并将工业固废内容纳入方式。
The newly revised “Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution” clearly puts forward the requirement that “units producing industrial solid waste shall obtain a pollutant discharge permit.” In order to implement the legal requirements, the notice formulates the relevant management requirements, implementation procedures, as well as the focus of industrial solid waste incorporated in the pollutant discharge permit.
In order to unify the technical requirements for the incorporation of industrial solid waste in the pollutant discharge permit, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has formulated the Technical Specification for Solid Waste to replace the relevant content in the 45 issued technical specifications (see Appendix 1) that contain industrial solid waste requirements.
According to the principle of smooth continuation, the units that have obtained the pollutant discharge permit before the notice is issued are not required to apply for change within the validity period of the PDP to increase the content of industrial solid waste, but to incorporate the content of industrial solid waste when applying for the continuation of period when the PDP expires or when applying for changes for other reasons.
