The Nanming district of Guiyang – capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province – is expected to move to further improve its eco-friendly environment in the current year.

The aim is understood to promote the establishment of bases in line with the concept "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" – one of the precepts underpinning China's national environmental strategy – and strive to make new achievements in the construction of an ecological civilization.

In so doing, Nanming is expected to implement measures involving environmental treatment, pollution prevention and control, as well as environmental protection inspections.

These will include conducting restrictions and constraints on projects that do not meet ecological protection red lines, the environmental quality bottom line, resource utilization limits and the environmental access negative list.

Meanwhile, Nanming will carry out surface water environmental quality monitoring, pollution source monitoring and other monitoring work within its jurisdiction.

Targeted emergency monitoring plans will also be formulated to continuously improve emergency accident monitoring capabilities.

In addition, Nanming will promote the reduction and resource utilization of solid waste – such as bulk industrial solid waste, domestic waste, construction waste and major agricultural waste. This will help ensure that the comprehensive utilization rate for general industrial solid waste and the centralized disposal rate for medical waste reach 100 percent.

By the end of 2022, the rural sewage treatment rate in Nanming is predicted to reach 65 percent, and  in 2025, it is expected to hit 80 percent.
