Jixian County compulsory removal of coal-fired boilers of 10 steam tons and below in the built-up area of Fuli Town

　　In order to implement the relevant deployment of the national "Pollution Prevention and Control War" and further improve the air quality in the built-up area of Fuli Town, on August 24, according to the "Notice of the Jixian County People's Government on Eliminating and Banning Coal-fired Boilers of 10 Steam Tons and Below in Built-up Areas" The county’s ecological environment, public security, housing construction, market supervision, power supply, water supply and other departments shall jointly enforce the law and take action against Jixian Xinsihai Trading Co., Ltd., Jixian County Tianyuan Funeral Co., Ltd., Tienan Huanglou, and Rongchang of Jixian County. The four coal-burning facilities and equipment of the residential building of the boiler factory that did not complete the elimination and transformation of in-use coal-fired boilers within the prescribed time limit were forced to demolish.

　　It is understood that coal burning is already the number one source of air pollution in Jixian County, seriously affecting the health and daily life of the people, and at the same time restricting economic development. The removal of coal-fired boilers can not only save energy, but also effectively reduce the atmospheric pollution index and purify the atmospheric environment, which is of great significance to safeguarding the health of the people.

　　On the same day, the ecological environment department was responsible for the coordination and command of the demolition site, and the public security, industry and information, housing construction, and market supervision departments performed their duties. The power supply and water supply departments implemented water and power cuts for the coal-fired facilities of the above units.
