Core Viewpoint - Nearly 70% of enterprises have varying degrees of soil pollution risks, prompting the government to enhance source control and establish new technical regulations for soil pollution risk assessment and remediation [1][3]. Group 1: Government Regulations and Standards - The government will strengthen source control for soil pollution and conduct regular risk assessments in key areas and facilities, with a new technical guideline for soil pollution risk assessment currently open for public consultation [2]. - The "Soil Pollution Prevention Law" mandates that key regulatory units must establish a soil pollution risk assessment system to prevent the leakage and spread of toxic substances [2][7]. - By 2027, the government aims for a compliance rate of over 90% in risk assessment and remediation for key regulatory units [2]. Group 2: Industry Practices and Challenges - The first round of soil pollution risk assessments conducted by the government revealed that nearly 70% of enterprises have some level of soil pollution risk, with significant disparities in assessment quality across regions [3][5]. - Many enterprises lack awareness of soil pollution prevention and legal obligations, leading to inadequate risk assessments and remediation efforts [3][8]. - Common issues in local practices include overlapping responsibilities with emergency management and environmental departments, leading to inefficiencies in risk assessment [5][6]. Group 3: Technical Guidelines and Implementation - The new standard aims to unify and standardize soil pollution risk assessment practices across the country, ensuring compliance with existing environmental laws and policies [7]. - The standard emphasizes the need for accurate risk assessment methods, including leak detection and remediation measures, to ensure effective remediation of identified risks [8]. - There is a call for further refinement of technical requirements and the establishment of a comprehensive technical standard system for soil pollution risk assessment and remediation [8].
