The State Council released the Beautiful China 15th Five-Year Plan, tightening soil and groundwater environmental controls. It mandates intensified soil-source pollution prevention, mandatory control and remediation for key soil-polluting operators and promotion of green upgrades. Authorities will strengthen risk management and a remediation-listing system for construction land, and tighten soil controls on vacated sites from pesticide active-ingredient manufacturers and coking plants. The plan aims to substantially complete heavy-metal pollution remediation of agricultural land in priority counties and reach a contaminated farmland safe-use rate of at least 95%. Measures also include protecting black soil, treating acidified cropland, and stepped-up environmental management of groundwater pollution priority zones, including a groundwater remediation campaign for chemical industrial parks.
