According to the Beijing News, there are no local A-share or Hong Kong stock listed companies in Xiongan three counties, A total of 4 new third board listed enterprises, of which three are the main business of the local developed shoes and clothing industry, another new third board enterprises Songhe shares, is a waste lead battery disassembly and recycled lead production enterprises.

In the latest 2016 report, Songhe shares said that the dust and exhaust gas generated in the process of recycling lead extraction will cause a certain degree of pollution to the environment, and the company has the risk of accidental environmental pollution due to equipment failure, article storage, human improper operation and other reasons; And with the gradual strengthening of public awareness of environmental protection, the requirements of national laws and regulations will be more stringent, which may lead to an increase in the company's environmental protection costs.

In fact, the test of environmental protection is far from the biggest test faced by Songhe Shares, but also the reality test faced by the construction of Xiongan New Area.

The city of Baoding, where the Xiongan New Area is located, has always been an area with extremely bad air quality. In both 2014 and 2015, Baoding's air quality ranked last among 74 major Chinese cities. It was not until 2016 that Baoding managed to take off the title of "last to last".

The Xiongan New Area is backed by Baiyangdian, the "pearl of North China", but Baiyangdian is also facing greater ecological pressure due to increased pollution in recent years. Since the 1980s, a combination of factors, such as drought, upstream cut-off, the construction of a large number of reservoirs, and the rise of industry in upstream and surrounding towns, have led to the deterioration of Baiyangdian lake water and the degradation of lake ecosystem functions.

At the same time, there are also a large number of small, scattered and disorderly polluting enterprises, distributed in textile, non-ferrous metals, hardware, plastic products and other industries, among which Xiongxian County is the largest plastic packaging production base in northern China. Xiongan New Area is located in the area, not only its own pollution is more serious, it is also in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region pollution transmission channel, the superposition of internal and external pollution, the future pollution control pressure can be imagined.

The central government's requirements for the future Xiongan New Area are to "create a beautiful ecological environment, and build an ecological city with blue and green interwoven, fresh and bright, and water and city integrated." Therefore, the Xiongan New Area should first and foremost be an ecologically sound city. In the future construction of Xiongan New Area, how to ensure a good ecological environment is a priority problem that needs to be solved.

At present, the Xiongan New Area is still a blank sheet of paper, and many specific plans for the future have yet to be determined. However, this does not mean that all the local work needs to wait until the plan is finalized before action is taken. In fact, cleaning up environmental pollution in and around Xiongan New Area can be done now.

In establishing the Xiongan New Area, pollution control can take the lead.

Some enterprises that should be eliminated according to laws and regulations can be eliminated now; Some enterprises that ignore environmental laws and regulations and wantonly discharge pollutants should be investigated and dealt with now. Local environmental protection departments can take immediate action to strengthen inspections and formulate a series of pollution control solutions.

As long as we really pay attention to the construction of the Xiongan New Area and really put "building a green, ecological and livable new urban area" in an important position, the environmental protection agencies in the three counties of Xiongan and the surrounding areas of Baoding have no reason to wait and see.

The environmental protection challenges faced by the Xiongan New Area are actually opportunities. For a long time, the environmental governance of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has been difficult, which has a lot to do with various institutional constraints. Therefore, we might as well use the Xiongan New Area as a test field for reform, and carry out a series of reforms in ecological governance, such as information disclosure, law enforcement mechanisms, and environmental protection standards. Such reforms will not only help build an eco-city blueprint for Xiongan New Area, but also provide valuable experience for ecological construction and development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and other parts of China.
