IT is the third year since a three-year campaign for environmental protection started in Jiading District in 2009.
This year a total of 100 initiatives have been carried out, among which, 32 are at city level.
While 59 projects have been finished, the remaining ones, which include protecting water resources, promoting clean energy, reducing noise on highways and treatment of medical waste, are in full swing.
Jiading has spent 2.4 million yuan (US$369,461) on a water quality automatic inspection station at Liansan Village in Huating Town. Fourteen similar stations will be built in the district soon.
Water quality has been greatly improved in the first six months of this year compared with the past two years. It is much due to the control over 64 key enterprises regarding pollution. Once illegal sewage drainage is detected, the local environment watchdog will deal with it.
Since early this year, almost 100 such enterprises have been fined. The fines totalled several million yuan. To some extent, it has stifled the pollution.
During the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), Jiading will turn 180 coal-fired boilers into boilers driven by natural gas or electricity. At present, Jiading has 300 coal-fired boilers scattered across 11 industrial zones and several towns in southern areas of the district. Most of them are for industrial use. Last year, with efforts being made to apply clean energy, the district reduced its sulfur dioxide emission by 863 tons.
As residents living close to highways are plagued by the disturbance of noise, Jiading has invested 23.78 million yuan to set up sound shields with a total length of 3,714 meters. The whole project was completed in late April this year.
In the past three years, roads in the district were also asphalted to help reduce noise and improve safety.
Efforts have also been made to monitor the treatment of dangerous waste.
