I. Environmental Status and Challenges
(A) partial improvement, the situation is still grim.
After more than 20 years of development, the social and economic development in the Pearl River Delta region has made remarkable achievements. In 2002, the Pearl River Delta, covering 0.4% of the country’s land area, gathered 3% of the country’s population and created nearly 9% of the country’s GDP. At the same time of rapid economic development, great progress has been made in environmental protection and ecological construction, and the comprehensive improvement of the Pearl River has achieved initial results. The water quality of the urban reach has been improved, and soot pollution has been initially controlled, but the overall environmental situation is still grim, mainly as follows:
Although the water quality of the main and mainstream waterways in the Pearl River Delta has basically maintained a good level of Class II and III, the length of the polluted rivers is still increasing due to the large discharge of domestic wastewater, concentrated industrial sewage discharge and serious pollution of livestock and poultry breeding. The water quality of most urban river sections and rivers is seriously polluted, and the water bodies in some river sections are worse than Class V, which affects the life and production of coastal residents. Regional water supply and drainage crisscross, the water quality of drinking water sources in some cities is affected, and cross-regional water pollution is becoming increasingly prominent. The advantage of abundant regional water resources is changing to the disadvantage of water shortage.
The frequency of acid rain in the Pearl River Delta is still high, forming a high-incidence area of acid rain with Guangzhou and Foshan as the center. The ratio of nitrogen oxides to sulfur dioxide in each city is increasing, and the air pollution caused by motor vehicle exhaust, which is characterized by nitrogen oxides pollution, has become increasingly prominent, showing signs of photochemical pollution and forming a phenomenon of regional air composite pollution.
The ecological land in the Pearl River Delta has been heavily occupied, the primary forest and natural secondary forest have been destroyed, some key ecological transition zones, nodes and corridors have not been effectively protected, the regional natural ecosystem has been obviously fragmented, and there is a lack of regional controlled ecological protection system. The phenomenon of indiscriminate hunting, indiscriminate digging and indiscriminate mining has been repeatedly banned, and the number and species of wild animals and plants have plummeted, which has seriously threatened biodiversity. Forest biomass and net production are not high, and forest ecological benefits are low. The amount of pesticide and chemical fertilizer used per unit land area is higher than the national average, nitrogen fertilizer pollution, pesticide residues and persistent organic pollution are aggravated, the agricultural ecological environment is deteriorating, the regional ecological quality is declining, and the ecological deficit is serious.
The comprehensive decision-making mechanism of economic development and environment in the Pearl River Delta needs to be strengthened, and there is still a phenomenon of emphasizing economy over environmental protection in some areas. The ability of environmental management at county and town levels is weak, and the mode and ability of environmental supervision can not meet the requirements of the new situation. The investment in environmental protection, especially the direct investment in sewage and garbage treatment and ecological construction, is insufficient, the construction of environmental protection infrastructure is lagging behind for a long time, and the debts are serious, forming a situation of "pollution first and then treatment". The difference and imbalance between environment and socio-economic development gradually appear, and resources and environment have become the "short board" of sustainable development, which restricts the overall competitiveness of urban agglomerations in the Pearl River Delta and the sustainable development of the region in the future.
(2) The environment is overwhelmed and development is facing challenges.
The Ninth Party Congress of Guangdong Province and the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Provincial Party Committee have set the goal for the future. By 2010, the per capita GDP of Guangdong Province will double that of 2000, and the Pearl River Delta will take the lead in basically realizing socialist modernization. By 2020, the province’s per capita GDP will double that of 2010, build a well-off society in an all-round way, and take the lead in basically realizing socialist modernization. This goal puts forward higher requirements for environmental protection, and the tasks of environmental protection and ecological construction are more arduous.
According to the forecast, in 2010 and 2020, the output of wastewater and water pollutants will increase by 60% and 100% respectively compared with that in 2002, and the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and inhalable particulate matter (PM10) will also increase greatly, and the total output of solid waste will increase by 50% and 80% respectively. All these will cause great pressure on the environment of the Pearl River Delta in the future. At present, the overdrawn environmental capacity and resources cannot support the extensive economic development model, and the Pearl River Delta will face severe challenges from many old and new environmental problems.
Second, the planning principles and objectives
(A) the guiding ideology
Guided by Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, around the goal of basically realizing socialist modernization in the Pearl River Delta, with the aim of improving people’s living standards and improving environmental quality, we should pay equal attention to pollution prevention and ecological protection, develop circular economy, promote clean production, advocate ecological civilization, take the development road of production development, affluent life and good ecology, and promote the coordinated development of economy, society and environment.
(2) Planning principles
People-oriented, environment first: adhere to the principle of people-oriented and harmony between man and nature, change the mode of economic growth, support the sustainable development of social economy with the sustainable utilization of environmental resources, effectively improve environmental quality and ensure regional environmental safety.
Overall planning and coordinated development: in accordance with the requirements of the "five overall plans", take the road of new industrialization, rationally plan and distribute towns and industries, develop circular economy and promote clean production. Solve environmental problems from the perspective of the whole region and realize the coordinated development of the region.
Focus on the future and plan scientifically: focus on the sustainable development of the Pearl River Delta in the future, comprehensively analyze the restrictive factors of the coordinated development of economy, society and environment in the future, face up to the gap between the current environmental situation and the requirements of taking the lead in basically realizing the goal of socialist modernization, explore new ideas and plan new development.
Improve the mechanism and strengthen regulation: strengthen the leading role of the government in environmental protection, clarify responsibilities, implement grading objectives and tasks, establish mechanisms, take measures, rationally and effectively allocate public resources, and promote the coordinated development of social economy and environment.
(3) Planning target
The overall goal of the planning is to build the Pearl River Delta into a comprehensive and coordinated sustainable development demonstration area.
By 2010, environmental pollution and ecological destruction have been effectively controlled, the discharge of major pollutants has been greatly reduced, the water quality of the trunk and tributaries of the Pearl River Delta water system has maintained a good level, the frequency of acid rain has dropped significantly, and the comprehensive environmental protection index of each city has reached more than 90 points. All cities have met the requirements of national environmental protection model cities and built national environmental protection model urban agglomerations.
By 2020, the security pattern of ecological environment will be basically formed, the circular economy system will be gradually improved, and the ecological environment will be virtuous. All cities will meet the requirements of eco-city and build eco-city groups.
III. Strategic tasks
In the process of modernization of the Pearl River Delta in , three strategic tasks should be completed: red line regulation, green line promotion and blue line construction.
(1) Red Line Regulation and Optimization of Regional Spatial Layout
1. Building a regional ecological security system.
(1) Ecological function zoning of
According to the sensitivity of regional ecological environment, the importance of ecological service function and the difference of regional socio-economic development direction, the Pearl River Delta is divided into three first-class ecological functional zones, namely, circular mountain forest ecological security barrier zone, delta plain agricultural metropolis economic zone and southern coastal ecological protection zone, seven second-class ecological functional zones, namely, western ecological protection and biodiversity protection zone, 75 third-class functional zones on land and five third-class functional zones, namely, Dashahe reservoir water conservation zone.
(2) Constructing regional ecological structure system
Protect, nurture and restore large-scale natural patches and wetlands, protect relatively isolated regional natural ecosystem reserves, and build a structural ecological control area in the regional ecosystem; Maintain continuous mountains and river trunk roads, establish a perfect protection system along traffic trunk roads and economic corridors, and form an ecological channel connecting various structural ecological control areas in the region; Strengthen the protection and restoration of isolated mountain green spaces between urban agglomerations to form a green core of urban agglomerations; Maintain the intersections and fragile points of each ecological channel and protect the key nodes of the regional ecological structure system; Protect the small natural patches left in large urban landscapes and strengthen the ecological regulation of urban construction. A regional ecological structure system with 18 nodes, 16 channels, 6 districts and 6 cores will be built.
(3) Protecting , an important and sensitive ecological area.
Protect water conservation areas. Rationally adjust and optimize the industrial structure and layout of water conservation areas, strictly control water pollution sources, and strengthen ecological cultivation and construction.
Construction of nature reserves. The proportion of nature reserves in the land area has increased steadily. By 2010, 15 nature reserves will be built, 9 nature reserves will be upgraded (3 at the national level and 6 at the provincial level) and 4 nature reserves will be expanded, including the upgrading and expansion of municipal nature reserves. There are 93 nature reserves in the whole region, with a total area of about 401,000 hectares, accounting for 6.3% of the land area.
Protect the ecological environment of estuaries and coastal waters. By 2010, the water quality in coastal waters will basically meet the requirements of environmental functional zones, with emphasis on strengthening the marine ecological environment protection in Daya Bay-Dapeng Bay, Guangzhou-Wanshan Islands, Zhuhai-Taishan Chixi Peninsula and Chuanshan Islands estuary.
Harness soil erosion. By 2010, the control rate of natural soil erosion will reach more than 80%, and all steep cultivated land with a slope greater than 25 degrees will be returned to forest and grassland, and man-made soil erosion will be controlled.
(4) Implementing ecological protection and grading control of .
According to the strict requirements for ecological protection, the Pearl River Delta is divided into strict protection areas, controlled protection and utilization areas and guided development and construction areas as the basis of regional ecological protection and management.
Strictly protected areas: including the core areas of nature reserves, key water conservation areas, coastal zones, extremely sensitive areas of soil erosion, primary ecosystems, ecological public welfare forests and other important and sensitive ecological functional areas, covering an area of about 5,058 square kilometers, accounting for 12.13% of the total land area of the Pearl River Delta. Governments at all levels should classify these areas as red lines and implement strict protection.
Controlled protection and utilization area: including important ecological function control area, ecological conservation area, ecological buffer area, etc., covering an area of about 17,483 square kilometers, accounting for 41.93% of the total land area of the Pearl River Delta. The controlled protection and utilization area can be developed and utilized moderately, but it must be ensured that the development and utilization will not lead to the decline of environmental quality and the damage of ecological function, and at the same time, active measures should be taken to promote the improvement and improvement of regional ecological function.
Guiding development and construction area: it mainly includes guiding resource development and utilization area and urban construction and development area, covering an area of about 19,157 square kilometers, accounting for 45.94% of the total land area of the Pearl River Delta. Guiding resource development and utilization areas should reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used per unit land area, promote ecological agriculture and control non-point source pollution; The urban construction development zone should pay attention to the construction of urban green space system and improve the urban greening rate.
2. Optimize the security pattern of water environment
Adjust the water intake and drainage pattern, adjust and optimize the water function of each river section, realize the orderly coordination between high and low water use functions, establish the total water environment control target, and ensure the regional sustainable water supply safety. By 2010, the water quality of centralized drinking water sources will reach 100%.
(1) Adjust the pattern of water intake and drainage, and systematically separate the water intake and drainage river system .
Dongjiang water resources area: including Dongjiang water resources areas in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou.
Non-tidal rivers in the main stream of Dongjiang River and the downstream river network area, including the main rivers of Dongjiang River, Xizhijiang River and Zengjiang River, and the main rivers above the salt water line in the river network area (north of John Wan, nave and Xintang Line), are strictly protected as regional common water sources.
Shima River-Hanxi River-Dongguan Canal Drainage System: Most of the sewage in Dongguan (from Shijie, Shipai and Gaobu towns is collected and treated in the central ditch and then transferred across the south tributary to enter the canal), Longhua, Guanlan and Buji (part of them) in Shenzhen are connected and connected by necessary engineering measures on the basis of existing waterways, and then enter the sea from Nongyuwei in Dongguan New Bay.
Shenzhen River Drainage System: The drainage east of Huanggang Road in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the drainage in Hong Kong New Territories reach the standard and then enter the sea from Shenzhen Bay. Among them, after the drainage treatment in the catchment area of Shenzhen Reservoir reaches the standard, it enters the Shenzhen River by manual extraction.
Sea drainage system in the west of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone: collect the municipal sewage west of Huanggang Road in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, enter Nanshan Sewage Treatment Plant after multi-stage lifting, and then discharge it to the East Trough of the Pearl River Estuary through submarine pipeline after reaching the standard.
Independent drainage system on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary: including several independent small systems with natural flow direction in Baoan District of Shenzhen and Chang ‘an Town of Dongguan. For example, a small amount of cross-border drainage in Xixiang and Nanshan District is discharged into before the gulf on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary after being treated up to standard, and Fuyong and Shajing towns independently collect and treat it up to standard and then enter the east beach of the Pearl River Estuary.
Tonghai drainage system in the east of Shenzhen: including Yantian District in the east of Wutong Mountain in Shenzhen and Longgang, Pingdi, Zikeng, Pingshan, Henggang, Kwai Chung, Dapeng and Nan ‘ao in Longgang District. Among them, the drainage around Dapeng Bay can enter the sea alone after reaching the standard, and a drainage system is established to introduce most of the sewage that originally passed through Danshui River and Xizhijiang River and finally entered Longgang District of Dongjiang into the regional drainage channel to the sea, so as to ensure the water quality of Xizhijiang River and Danshui River, tributaries of Dongjiang River, to meet the standard.
Dayawan regional drainage system: the south line collects the drainage from Xinxu, Qiuchang, fresh water and Aotou, and then discharges it to the special experimental area in the outer bay on the south side of Daya Bay through the discharge pipe after reaching the standard; The northern line collects the drainage from Yonghu, Shatian, Xiayong and petrochemical industrial zone, and after reaching the standard, it is discharged to the special experimental area in the outer bay on the north side of Daya Bay by the discharge pipe.
Dongjiang trunk drainage system: it includes the vast water collection area of Dongjiang trunk and its first-class tributaries Xizhijiang and Zengjiang trunk, and the drainage can only enter in the end.
Dongjiang River, the water source. Water-polluting industries should not be built in this area, and large-scale urban areas should not be arranged.
Guangzhou East Drainage System: It includes all Huangpu District in Guangzhou and part of Tianhe and Zengcheng City, which constitutes the drainage system discharged into Huangpu Waterway. The drainage from Dadun to Xintang on the west bank of Dongjiang North Main Stream should be intercepted and led to the drainage system below Nangang.
Drainage system in Dongjiang River network area: Xintang, nave and John Wan are the boundaries, and the downstream towns and villages independently form drainage systems (or lead them downstream appropriately), which are discharged after being treated to meet the standards. The upstream drainage can be introduced into the downstream treatment and discharged or transferred to the canal drainage system eastward.
The common water resources area of Beijiang River and Dongjiang River: mainly Guangzhou City.
Dongjiang water in the region is transferred to the eastern part of the Pearl River Delta, so as to make good use of Liuxi River, and at the same time, expand the use of Beijiang River. Shunde Waterway and its connected Xijiang incoming water, Beijiang main stream and Baini Waterway are used as reserve water sources, and the tributaries of Dongjiang River, Zengjiang River, Liuxi River, Baini Waterway, West Waterway, Beijiang main stream and Shunde Waterway-Shawan Waterway form a circular water supply channel.
Humen drainage river system: including the upstream Southwest Chung, Foshan Waterway and its branches, water mouth, Datanchui, Dalanchong, Yayao Water, front and rear waterways, Lijiao Waterway, Sanzhi Perfume Waterway, Huangpu Waterway and Shiziyang Waterway, etc. The natural flow direction is basically separated from the water supply channel, and only a few places need to add control gates.
Jiaomen Drainage River System: It consists of a river network located in the south of Shawan Waterway, with Jiaomen Waterway as the main trunk.
Drainage system outside the entrance: Nansha new development zone is located outside the river network, forming a drainage system to Lingding waterway to protect the water quality in the river network area.
Drainage in Liuxihe River Basin: While restricting large-scale development, the drainage will flow into the tributaries according to the natural flow direction, and appropriate river purification measures will be taken to ensure that the centralized drainage will not directly enter the main trunk of Liuxihe River, and the runoff entering the main trunk will reach Class III, so as to protect the local water supply source of Liuxihe River.
The common water resources areas of Beijiang River and Xijiang River include Sihui and Zhongshan, as well as Chancheng, Sanshui, Nanhai and Shunde in Foshan City.
Beijiang River trunk, Suijiang River trunk, Xijiang River trunk and Dongping Shunde Waterway are connected with Shawan, Guizhou, Xiaolan, Jiya, Rong Gui and other waterways to form a reticular water supply river system, and the middle part is connected with Xijiang River trunk through Ganzhuxi and Ronggui Waterway to form a strategic allocation water source for the whole river network area. At the same time, protect the local runoff formed with Wugui Mountain as the center.
