为进一步加强环评与生态环境分区管控、排污许可、执法监管等制度衔接联动，生态环境部发布《关于进一步优化环境影响评价工作的意见》。文件分为总体要求、加强制度衔接联动、深化环评改革、守牢生态环保底线、加强基层能力建设五个部分，提出十八个方面的具体要求。
在加强环评与排污许可制度衔接方面，探索推进项目环评、排污许可”两证审批合一”。对生产工艺单一、环境影响较小、建设周期短，且应编制环境影响报告表的农副食品加工业等十二类建设项目，在企业自愿的原则下，探索实施”两证审批合一”，在项目开工建设前，接续办理环评与排污许可手续。
在满足一定条件的产业园区内，实施”四个一批”改革试点。
一是试点推广一批报告表项目”打捆”审批。试点园区内，家具制造等九类报告表项目、集中搬迁入园的报告表项目，可实施环评”打捆”审批；对试点园区内生产设施、环保设施不变，仅原辅料、产品变化的生物药品制造及其研发中试类项目，经有审批权的生态环境部门论证污染物种类和排放量未超过原环评的，无需重新环评。
二是在试点园区内，城市道路等五类环境影响登记表项目，免于环评备案。
三是简化一批报告书（表）项目环评内容。
四是试点优化完善一批项目环评总量指标审核管理。对部分小额总量项目，即氮氧化物、化学需氧量、挥发性有机污染物的单项新增年排放量小于0.1吨，氨氮小于0.01吨的，可免予提交总量指标来源说明。
In order to further strengthen the connection and linkage between environmental impact assessment (EIA) ecological environment zoning control, pollutant discharge permit(PDP), and law enforcement supervision etc., the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the “Opinions on Further Optimizing Environmental Impact Assessment System”. The document is divided into five parts: overall requirements, strengthening institutional connection and linkage, deepening EIA reform, guarding the bottom line of ecological and environmental protection, and strengthening local authority’s capacity building, as well as putting forward specific requirements in eighteen aspects.
In terms of strengthening the connection between EIA and PDP, the Opinions explores and promotes a procedure called “Integration of Two Permits” for project EIA and PDP. For twelve types of construction projects including agricultural and food processing industries, if the project has a simple production process, minor environmental impact, short construction period, and are only required to compile environmental impact assessment form (EIF), the “Integration of Two Certificates” can be applied voluntarily, namely, go through EIA and PDP process altogether before the project starts construction.
In industrial parks that meet certain conditions, the “Four Batches of Approval” reform will be piloted.
First, pilot “bundling” approval (one-time collective approval) of a number of projects that are only required to compile EIF(EIF project). Within the pilot industrial parks, nine types of EIF projects such as furniture manufacturing industries and other collective relocation EIF projects can be subject to “bundling” EIA approval; For biopharmaceutical manufacturing and its R&D pilot projects within the pilot industrial parks, if production facilities and environmental protection facilities remain unchanged, only raw materials and auxiliary materials and products change, and the types and emissions of pollutants do not exceed what are stipulated in the original EIA document after being verified by the department of ecology and environment with approval authority, there is no need to re-compile the EIA documents.
Second, within the pilot industrial parks, urban roads and other five types of projects that are only required to prepare environmental impact registration can be exempted from EIA process.
Third, simplify the content of a number of EIA reports and EIF.
Fourth, optimize the review and management of total mass loading quota (MLQ) for a number of projects. For some projects with small total pollutant quantity, if the additional emissions of nitrogen oxides, chemical oxygen demand, and volatile organic pollutants are less than 0.1 tons per year, and ammonia nitrogen is less than 0.01 tons per year, they are exempted from submitting a total MLQ source statement.
