Article 2 (Establishment of environmental protection measures in projects)
In the design and construction of projects, construction units should follow up on environmental impact evaluation documents and environmental response measures in environmental impact evaluation advice. The construction of projects requires a parallel environmental protection facility, which should be designed and constructed in parallel with the main works to ensure that environmental protection facilities are used in parallel with the work of the subject.
For special reasons, the construction of a project design, construction process requires changes in environmental impact evaluation documents or in environmental sector approval advice, and the construction units should obtain prior consent from the environmental sector that had previously approved the evaluation document.
Article 23
The construction units shall apply to the environmental sector that has previously approved the evaluation document for the construction of pilot production or probationary operation prior to the operation of the major works of the construction project. According to environmental sector inspections, the accompanying environmental protection facilities have been established and the environmental sector should approve construction project probationary production or probation operations within 15 days of the date of receipt of the request; environmental protection facilities have not been completed or have been unauthorized in the adoption of measures taken by environmental impact evaluation documents and environmental sector approval, and the environmental sector does not approve their probationary production or probation operations.
The duration of construction of project probationary production or probation operations is generally three months; however, for special reasons, such as process needs, the duration of their probationary production or probation operations may be extended appropriately, but not more than one year.
During the construction of project probationary production or probationary operation, the construction of environmental protection facilities should be conducted in parallel with the main works.
The construction units should monitor the operation of environmental protection facilities and the impact of construction projects on the environment during the construction of pilot production or probation operations.
Article 24
The construction units should apply to environmental protection facilities for the approval of the project's environmental impact evaluation documents before the completion of the production or probationary operation.
The environmental sector should complete the collection within 30 days of receipt of the application for the completion of the environmental protection facility. The construction of project pollutant emissions exceeds the prescribed standards or other circumstances that are not in compliance with environmental impact evaluation and environmental sector approval requests, and environmental protection facilities are not approved. The construction units should be reorganized within the prescribed time frame, as required by the environmental sector, to request the construction of project environmental protection facilities to be completed.
The construction project was produced at the time of the probationary production or completion of the operation, with the approval of the environmental sector of the project's environmental impact assessment document, which could be completed by the actual production burden. After the production of the project has reached the required burden, the construction units should apply for formalization.
Construction projects can be made formal in the production or use of environmental protection facilities upon receipt.
Article 25
In one of the following cases, construction units should organize environmental impacts in accordance with the time-bound environmental sector:
(i) The construction of projects, the operation process, which is not in accordance with approved environmental impact evaluation documents;
(ii) Construction projects may have a greater environmental impact and their environmental impact evaluation observations stipulate that environmental impact evaluations should be carried out.
Post-environmental assessments by construction units have identified adverse environmental impacts and should take the appropriate pollution control measures, as well as the post- environmental impact evaluation and the pollution control measures taken to provide the environmental sector for the approval of the environmental impact evaluation document and the construction project approval sector.
