Waste discharge permit

Apply to the local people’s **environmental protection administrative department at the county-level or higher where it is located； The administrative departments in charge of environmental protection at the local people’s government level at or above the county level are responsible for accepting, reviewing, and making decisions. 　Time limit: An administrative license shall be issued within 20 days as of the date of receipt. If it is not possible to issue the license within those 20 days, with the approval of the head of the administrative agency, the period may be extended by 10 days, and the applicant must be informed of the reasons for the extension. Required documents: Environmental Impact Assessment report and approval for the construction project, Approval documents for the \"three simultaneities\" requirement, and Monitoring report on compliance with emission standards

After the waste treatment facility meets the emission standards, it is subject to monitoring by the Environmental Protection Bureau, which, upon confirmation of compliance, issues a \"Monitoring Report on Compliance with Emission Standards\". Next, go to the local environmental protection agency to submit the application. Generally, such agencies provide a checklist of the documents required for an application; prepare the necessary materials according to this checklist and then submit the application.

Although the former **Environmental Protection Administration issued a document in 2007 titled “Letter Seeking Opinions on the ‘Regulations on Pollution Discharge Permits (Draft)’”, no regulations at the **national level have been introduced regarding pollution discharge permits; however, various regions have formulated their own rules and regulations for such permits. If your province has issued local regulations regarding emission permits, you may comply with those local regulations. Relevant provisions regarding emission permits for new projects in the «Letter on Soliciting Opinions on the Regulations on Emission Permits (Draft for Comment)»: Article 8 (Conditions for applying for an emission permit for new projects) 　　　Those responsible for emissions from new projects must meet the following conditions in order to apply for an emission permit: 　　　(1) The environmental impact assessment document for the construction project must have been approved by the environmental protection authorities or endorsed following a re-evaluation ； 　　 　　(II) There are pollution control facilities or measures that have passed the inspection by the environmental protection administrative department ； 　　 　　(III) Existence of management systems and technical capabilities to maintain the proper operation of pollution control facilities ； When facilities are operated on a commissioned basis, the operating entity must hold a qualification certificate for the operation of environmental pollution control facilities ； 　　 　　(IV) Emergency plans, as well as facilities and equipment, for dealing with sudden environmental incidents ； 　　 　　(5) The emission of pollutants meets the requirements set by the environmental protection authorities for acceptance ； 　　 　　(6) Other conditions stipulated by laws and regulations. 　　 　　When applying for an emission permit as an emitter from a newly established project, it is necessary to fill out the application form for the emission permit, and submit the business license as well as the supporting documents specified in items (2), (3), (4), and (5) of the preceding paragraph. Article 10 (Application Time for New Projects) The project owner shall submit an application for a temporary pollution discharge permit after the main environmental protection facilities and measures for the new project have been constructed and implemented simultaneously with the main structure of the project, and after approval has been given by the environmental protection authorities following on-site verification that it is appropriate to commence trial production. Those that have passed the environmental protection inspection shall submit the documents specified in Article 8(2) within 10 working days from the date of receiving the approval document, fill out the application form for a pollution discharge permit, and apply for such a permit. 　　Polluters shall submit an application form for changing the pollution discharge permit before putting renovation, expansion, or technical upgrade projects into trial production, in order to request changes to the details specified in the pollution discharge permit. Temporary discharge permits are generally issued only to enterprises that have actual pollutant emission concentrations exceeding the **specified standards or whose total pollutant emissions fall short of the set limits, and which are currently required to make corrections within a specified time frame.
