Guiding opinions on strengthening the restoration and comprehensive treatment of mine geological environment

I. General requirements

(1) Guiding ideology.

 Firmly establish and earnestly implement the new concept of innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development, strictly implement the requirements of the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization and the Notice of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council on Issuing the Overall Plan for the Reform of the Ecological Civilization System, comprehensively deepen reform and administer the system according to law, Scientific planning, overall promotion, focus on key points, pay attention to results, strive to improve the development of compensation and protection of the economic mechanism, vigorously establish the government, enterprises, and society to participate in the recovery and comprehensive treatment of new mechanisms, as soon as possible to form a new situation of recovery and comprehensive treatment of "old and new problems" under construction, production mines and historical legacy of the overall solution. Comprehensively improve the level of mine geological environment restoration and comprehensive management, and make new contributions to promoting the construction of ecological civilization and building a beautiful China.

(2) Basic principles.

With the new development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing", it will lead the restoration and comprehensive management of the geological environment of mines, resolutely implement the basic national policy of saving resources and protecting the environment, and strive to achieve new achievements in benefiting the people with land and resources.

Adhere to the concept of innovative development, and break the investment, policy, scientific research and other institutional obstacles in the restoration and comprehensive management of mining geological environment. We will innovate policies for the redevelopment of residual tailings mines, the reclamation and utilization of abandoned mining land, and the transfer and utilization of collective land, guide the investment of social funds, resources, and asset elements, actively explore the use of PPP models and third-party governance methods, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, and accelerate governance. Simplify management procedures, and promote the reform of the system for the preparation and review of mine geological environment restoration and management plans and land reclamation plans. Mining enterprises and relevant institutions are encouraged to carry out technological innovation in governance and restoration.

Adhere to the concept of coordinated development, and accelerate the improvement of the mineral resources development management system and system of coordination between resource development and environmental protection. We will implement the functional zoning strategy, coordinate protection and development, give priority to protection, and strengthen the role of mineral development and management in protecting the ecological environment at the source. To adjust the distribution of mineral resources exploration and development, formulate and implement plans for mineral resources. Strict access to mineral development, strict supervision of the production process, strict accountability, and the responsibility for the restoration and comprehensive management of the geological environment of mines is implemented in the whole process of "before, during and after" mineral development. Adhere to the "who develops, who manages", and strictly implement the main responsibility for the protection and management of mining enterprises for new and production mines. The restoration and treatment of geological environmental problems left over from history and newly emerged in mines will be promoted in a coordinated manner.

Adhere to the concept of green development, advocate and cultivate green mining, and build a new pattern of mineral resource development and mine geological environment protection. We will continue to carry out operations to restore the green of mines. Promote the comprehensive management of mountains, water, fields, forests and lakes of abandoned mines, make farming better, make forests better, make gardens better, and make water better, fully combine the activities of voluntary tree planting by the whole people, and restore the green mountains and green water in mining areas as soon as possible. To develop green mining and build green mines, encourage mining enterprises to formulate and implement green mine development plans in accordance with the requirements of green mining development for efficient use of resources, environmental protection and promoting harmony between mines, and speed up the construction of resource-saving and environment-friendly enterprises.

Adhere to the concept of open development, and integrate the restoration and comprehensive treatment of mining geological environment with the development of related industries. Encourage the introduction of foreign mining geological environment restoration and comprehensive management of new technologies and new models, and actively carry out international cooperation. Expand the green mine construction mode, and encourage mining enterprises to participate in the construction, operation and management of mining geoparks. Explore the integrated development of mining geological environment restoration and comprehensive management with real estate development, tourism, elderly care, breeding, planting and other industries.
