Re-green mine reappears the beauty of grassland

The mine became a castle peak mining area.

It is another year of grass green, marching in the depths of Inner Mongolia grassland, and the great changes in mine management and mining landscape are remarkable: some small mines are backfilled and green, and they are integrated with the grassland. Some open-pit mines are repaired while mining, which is in harmony with grassland rivers and lakes; The treated green mines have even become a part of the beautiful scenery.

Once upon a time, mines were the "heart disease" of Inner Mongolia people. Thousands of mines, large and small, tore open dazzling holes, and the grassland was as black and yellow as alopecia areata and psoriasis. Farmers and herdsmen are worried about their homes. Tourists wanted to feel the beautiful scenery of Chile's Song Dynasty, but as a result, the wind blows and the coal pit is low. Some people changed the lyrics to "beautiful grassland, my pain" in disappointment.

As an important ecological security barrier in northern China, in recent years, Inner Mongolia has anchored ecological priority and green development, and launched an ecological governance war. In the midsummer of July, I walked into the Shengli No.1 open pit mine of Shenhua Nortel Shengli Energy Co., Ltd., with two bays of clear water like blue hada and three green hills, lush vegetation and fragrant flowers. If you don't see the closed coal conveyor belt that runs across the east and west, it is hard to find that this is actually a mine. This state-level green mine located in Xilin Gol Prairie has invested nearly 1 billion yuan in ecological restoration only in 202 1 year, which is equivalent to producing 1 ton of coal, and the cost of ecological restoration is 4 yuan.

On one of the 50-meter-high green hills, micro-spray and drip irrigation facilities cover the surrounding area, and fine water mist irrigates Caragana and alfalfa on the hillside. Shang Zhi, manager of the Reclamation and Greening Department of Shenhua Nortel Shengli Energy Co., Ltd. proudly said: "These three green hills are green from three garbage dumps; The clean water in these two bays is recovered from coal mine drainage. Through the micro-spraying device, the resource utilization of wastewater has been realized, the level of ecological construction in the mining area has been greatly improved, and the mine greening has basically achieved a self-sustaining state. " In recent years, the company has invested more than 500 million yuan to continuously carry out mine ecological restoration, and the ecological environment has undergone earth-shaking changes. "Whether the ecology is good or not, small animals will vote with their feet." He said that animals such as foxes and rabbits can often be seen in mining areas now.

In recent years, cities in Inner Mongolia have carried out mine environmental management, with grass suitable for grass and forest suitable for forest. Combined with scientific planting and breeding, the vegetation coverage rate has been improved, and patches of "alopecia areata" on the grassland have gradually become patches of "green carpets". Some areas have also innovated ideas and methods to turn mines into green hills and mining areas into scenic spots.

Tianjiao Tianjun Eco-tourism Resort, located in Ulanhot City, is located in several abandoned mines. Make full use of the mine topography, combine ecological restoration with tourism development, and build Tianjun covered bridge, ancient painting clear spring and Gesanghuahai. Zhao, the person in charge of the scenic spot, said: "After three years of management, the mining area has become a flower field of 765,438+/kloc-0.0 million square meters, and bloom attracted many tourists to enjoy the flowers."

By the beginning of June this year, 360 green mines had been built in Inner Mongolia, including 47 national-level green mines. The improvement of grassland value makes tourists from all directions feel relaxed and happy.

Tightening the system "cage" grassland can not make mines eclipsed.

Zhao Dayong, director of the Natural Resources Department of Inner Mongolia, said that in order to protect the natural ecology, Inner Mongolia issued the first green mine construction plan in the name of the provincial government in 20 17, and the green mine construction in the whole region entered the fast lane. In 2020, the "Implementation Plan for Mine Environmental Governance in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" was promulgated, which clearly and comprehensively addressed all kinds of mine environmental problems. The Regulations on Geological Environment Protection of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which came into effect on 202 1, included the construction of green mines in the regulations for the first time, and the legal system and institutional standards for the construction of green mines became more and more perfect. At present, Inner Mongolia has clearly implemented the joint management of regional mine ecological restoration and centralized open-pit mining areas, and prohibited the development of mineral resources that have a significant impact on the ecological environment.

The major coal mines and non-coal mines on the grassland have taken action one after another, and a series of laws and regulations are tightening the "cage" of the green development system. Xilin Gol League has promulgated local systems and measures such as Guidelines for the Construction of Green Mine Demonstration Projects and Technical Guidelines for the Restoration and Control of Mine Vegetation, and vigorously promoted the improvement of mine ecological environment. In Holingol City, the local government issued the "Work Plan for Mine Ecological Environment Renovation", which included all 33 mines in the scope of rectification, organized party and government cadres to pack "hills" and regularly urged them to advance. At present, all the mines that meet the governance conditions in the city have been rectified.

"The construction of green mines in Inner Mongolia not only pursues' face', but also pursues' lining' and' brain'. Intelligence and informatization are the core of green mines. Our goal is to promote the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of mining enterprises with green mine construction. " Zhao Dayong, for example, located in three production mines of Yanbao Energy, a national energy group in Hulunbeier City, constantly optimized the design of open pit mines to make the whole process of production, crushing and transportation clean. The enterprise has also built the first "5G+" unmanned mining dump truck marshalling project in China, which is developing towards automation, digitalization, intelligence and unmanned mining.

Statistics show that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the investment in various production mines in Inner Mongolia is about10 billion yuan, and the environmental control area is about 7 12 square kilometers. At the same time, Inner Mongolia implements the "double random and one open" inspection, strengthens the dynamic supervision of green mines, and ensures the sustainability of mine restoration results. Since the beginning of this year, 142 mining enterprises have been removed from the list of green mines, realizing "green means prosperity, and if it is not green, it will retreat".

For many enterprises, the construction of green mines is like a "green revolution", and the concept of green mining needs to be rooted in the heart. These days, Zhao Zhigang, manager of Xilin Gol Shengli Mining Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Energy and Power Generation Investment Group, submitted materials, expecting the announcement of the results of a new batch of green mines at the autonomous region level. From 2020, when it was required to be rectified by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group due to poor ecological conditions, to the completion of reclamation and greening, dust-proof coal shed, fully enclosed coal conveyor belt, coal bunker and rapid loading system, the past "Xisankeng" realized a green transformation from the inside out.

"Green mine construction is a baptism of development concept, reminding enterprises that they must put the concept of green mining throughout the whole process of mineral resources development and utilization, and create a new high-quality development path of turning mines into green hills, mining areas into scenic spots and ecological benefits." Zhao Zhigang said with deep feeling.

Consolidating the restoration results still needs to be strengthened.

In recent years, the achievements made in the construction of green mines in Inner Mongolia are obvious to all, and the ecological environment of mining areas has been continuously improved. However, in the practice of green mines in Inner Mongolia, it is also found that there are still bottlenecks in the follow-up promotion and consolidation of restoration results, which need to be solved urgently.

"It is not enough to have mandatory standards, but also to have financial support." The heads of several coal enterprises said that at present, coal prices are high, and coal enterprises still have funds for mine resumption. Because the resumption of mine production has the characteristics of "mining while managing", once the coal market is depressed in the future, the resumption of mine production will have intermittent problems. Grass-roots cadres and leaders of coal enterprises suggested that the ecological compensation mechanism should be improved, and in the process of coal production and sales, the beneficiaries should compensate the ecologically damaged parties to change the situation of relying solely on coal-producing areas to control the mine environment. Zhang Xuejun, director of the Natural Resources Bureau of Xilin Gol League, suggested that mining enterprises should be encouraged to "pre-deposit" funds for mine ecological restoration according to a certain proportion of marketing income, so as to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent mine environmental management.

While improving the system and ensuring funds, supervision also needs to keep up. Grassroots cadres called for further clarification of the implementation methods and supervision responsibilities of land space and mine ecological restoration, improvement of the supervision and coordination mechanism of various departments, and orderly, powerful, scientific and efficient promotion of mine environmental governance.
