Environment agency blacklisted for malpractices
BEIJING, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Center in Peking University has been blacklisted due to malpractices.
The decision was made by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA), which will take strict measures to discipline EIA agencies nationwide, according to Thursday's China Daily.
Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau verified the EIA Center in Peking University did not observe EIA standards, did not carry out complete investigations on environmental protection of areas around projects, made misrepresentations about the projects and their environmental impact, and had no reliable analysis on the use of clean energy in the projects.
The municipal bureau sent the case to SEPA, which ordered the center to suspend operations for three months, increase discipline and improve technology, a SEPA spokesman said.
SEPA is responsible for licensing EIA agencies, supervising their operations and punishing them for wrongdoings. EIA agencies are paid by constructors to carry out assessment and provide reports to environmental protection bureaus.
