Environmental Protection Acceptance (Environmental Protection Acceptance upon Completion of Construction Projects)
◉ Introduction to Environmental Protection Acceptance
After the completion of a construction project, environmental protection acceptance shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Interim Measures for Environmental Protection Acceptance of Construction Project Completion" (National Environmental Protection and Environmental Impact Assessment (2017) No. 4). After the completion of the project, the construction unit shall carry out environmental protection acceptance of the construction project completion. Only after passing the acceptance can the main project be put into production or use.
◉ Scope of Environmental Protection Acceptance
Construction projects that prepare environmental impact assessment reports (forms) should carry out independent environmental protection acceptance in accordance with the law; Construction projects that fill out the Environmental Impact Registration Form do not require independent environmental protection acceptance.
The scope of independent environmental protection acceptance is the environmental protection facilities and measures that are built to support the construction project. Environmental protection facilities refer to the devices, equipment, and engineering facilities required for preventing and controlling environmental pollution and ecological damage, as well as conducting environmental monitoring; Environmental protection measures refer to management or technological measures that prevent or mitigate adverse effects on the environment.
◉ Environmental Protection Acceptance Subject and Responsibility
（1） Acceptance subject
The construction unit is the responsible party for the environmental protection acceptance of the construction project, and should organize the acceptance of the environmental protection facilities supporting the construction project, prepare acceptance reports, disclose relevant information, and accept social supervision.
The acceptance report includes three items: acceptance monitoring (investigation) report, acceptance opinions, and other matters that need to be explained.
（2） Acceptance responsibility
The construction unit shall ensure that the environmental protection facilities required for the construction project are put into operation or used simultaneously with the main project, and shall be responsible for the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the acceptance content, conclusions, and publicly disclosed information, and shall not engage in fraud during the acceptance process.
If the construction unit does not have an environmental protection specialist (with environmental protection related professional titles) and does not have the ability to prepare acceptance monitoring (investigation) reports, it should entrust a capable technical institution to prepare them. The preparation personnel must have environmental protection related professional titles (such as ecological environment management and consulting, ecological environment monitoring, environmental protection, ecological environment engineering, etc.), and require personnel with intermediate or higher environmental protection professional titles to review and sign their names.
The construction unit is responsible for the conclusion of the acceptance monitoring (investigation) report prepared by the commissioned technical institution.
◉ Environmental acceptance deadline
The acceptance period refers to the time from the completion of the environmental protection facilities of the construction project to the date when the construction unit publicly releases the acceptance report to the society.
Except for water and air pollution prevention and control facilities that require a pollutant discharge permit, the acceptance period for other environmental protection facilities generally does not exceed 3 months; If it is necessary to debug or rectify such environmental protection facilities, the acceptance period can be appropriately extended, but not exceeding 12 months.
If the environmental protection facilities of the construction project are not built simultaneously with the main project or if a pollutant discharge permit should be obtained but not obtained, the environmental protection facilities should not be debugged.
For construction projects that are constructed in stages, put into production or use in stages, phased acceptance can be carried out in accordance with the law.
◉ Environmental acceptance procedures and content
（1） Preparation before acceptance

For those entrusting non centralized treatment, relevant rights and responsibilities should be explained, such as who is responsible and who is punished in case of excessive emissions.
3. Organize and accept supporting documents
Collect acceptance support documents such as solid waste disposal contracts, drainage certificates, pollutant discharge permits, and relevant agreements.
4. Public completion and commissioning time

After the completion of the environmental protection facilities supporting the construction project, the completion date shall be publicly announced; Before the commissioning of environmental protection facilities for supporting construction projects, the start and end dates of the commissioning shall be publicly announced.
（2） Carry out acceptance inspection
1. Check the construction content of the project
Pollution impact construction projects. Compare the environmental impact assessment documents and approval decisions of the approval department from the aspects of construction site, nature, content, scale, process and flow, product plan, raw and auxiliary materials, layout, public works, supporting facilities, etc., record the consistency of the approval and construction, determine the scope of acceptance, and judge whether the changes or additions to the construction project are significant changes.

Compare the environmental impact assessment documents and approval decisions of the approval department from the aspects of construction site, nature, functional positioning, scale, route direction and form, main technical indicators, environmentally sensitive areas, supporting facilities, etc., record the consistency of the approval and construction, determine the acceptance scope, and judge whether the changes or additions to the construction project belong to significant changes.
2. Inspect the environmental protection facilities of the project
Pollution impact construction projects. Compare the environmental protection requirements for wastewater, exhaust gas, noise, vibration, solid waste, groundwater, soil, risk prevention, etc. in the environmental impact assessment documents and approval decisions of the approval department one by one, record the implementation of various environmental protection measures, with a focus on new pollution sources and corresponding pollution prevention and control facilities.
Ecological impact construction projects. Compare the environmental protection requirements for wastewater, exhaust gas, noise, vibration, solid waste, groundwater, soil, risk prevention, etc. in the environmental impact assessment documents and approval decisions of the approval department one by one, record various environmental protection measures, ecological protection or restoration projects, with a focus on adding environmentally sensitive targets and corresponding pollution prevention and control facilities.

Refer to the environmental impact assessment documents and the approval decisions of the approval department regarding the "replacing old with new" project, clean production project, greening project, soil and water conservation project, ecological restoration project, etc., and record the specific implementation situation.
4. Determine whether significant changes have occurred
Discriminant principle: If one or more of the five factors of nature, scale, location, production process, and environmental protection measures of a construction project undergo significant changes during implementation, and may lead to significant changes in environmental impact (especially aggravated adverse environmental impact), it is defined as a significant change. At present, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has released a list of major changes in pollution impact construction projects and a list of major changes in 28 industries. Construction projects not included in the list can be executed based on their location, scale, process, environmental protection facilities, main technical indicators, etc., and an analysis of the pollutant emissions and environmental impacts caused by changes can be conducted.
