State of Council: Groundwater Management Regulation
《地下水管理条例》是我国第一部地下水管理的专门行政法规。
我国地下水开发利用程度不断加大，导致部分地区地下水超采和污染问题突出。为了加强地下水管理，水利部起草《条例》，从调查与规划、节约与保护、超采治理、污染防治、监督管理等方面做出规定。
《条例》首先完善了地下水节约与保护的各项措施。主要包括：一是实行地下水取水总量控制与水位控制制度。二是明确用水过程的节约要求。三是强化经济手段的运用。明确地下水水资源税费的征收原则。四是细化地下水保护措施。
为防治地下水污染，《条例》要求各地建立地下水污染防治重点区划定制度；衔接水污染和土壤污染防治法要求，强化对污染地下水行为的管控（第40条），明确特定行业防止地下水污染的措施（第41条）以及建立地下水监测制度等。
The “Groundwater Management Regulation” is the first Chinese special administrative regulation for groundwater management.
The continuous increase in the exploitation and utilization of groundwater in China has led to a prominent problem in groundwater over-exploitation and pollution in some regions. In order to strengthen groundwater management, the Ministry of Water Resources drafted the “Regulation” to regulate the groundwater resource investigation and planning, water conservation and protection, over-exploitation control, pollution prevention and control, as well as supervision and management.
“Regulation” proposes various measures for groundwater conservation and protection: (1) Control total amount of groundwater intake and water level; (2) define the water saving requirements during water using; (3) apply economic leverage and set out principles of tax confiscation on groundwater resources; (4) refine groundwater protection measures.
To prevent groundwater pollution, the “Regulation” requires a key area classification system for the prevention and control of groundwater pollution to be established; connects the Water Pollution and Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Laws to reinforce the groundwater pollution control (Article 40); specifies industrial wise groundwater pollution prevention measures (Article 41) and establishes the groundwater monitoring system.

Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Hazardous Waste Transfer Management Measures
相比现行《转移联单办法》，明确了移出人、托运人、承运人、接受人各方责任，细化了从移出到接受各环节的转移要求，已经不单是针对转移联单申领运行管理的规定。新办法规定危险废物转移应通过国家危险废物信息管理系统运行电子联单，要求危险废物电子转移联单数据应当在信息系统中至少保存十年，同时明确了移出人申请跨省转移危险废物条件。
The new “Measures” is revised on the current “Hazardous Waste Transfer Manifest Management Measures”. The new Measures clarifies the responsibilities of the transferor, the shipper, the carrier and the receiver, and refines the transfer requirements from transfer to acceptance, not only on the operation management of transfer manifest. The new Measures stipulates that the transfer of hazardous waste shall run the electronic form through the national hazardous waste information platform, and the data shall be kept in the information system for at least ten years. It also clarifies the conditions for the transferor to apply for trans-provincial transfer of hazardous waste.
