With a view to optimizing the business environment, improving the efficiency of examination and approval of environment impact assessment for construction projects, putting the environmental impact assessment system functions to better play, we shall implement classified management for municipal construction projects, differentiate the key projects from general projects, implement classified management for examination and approval of environment impact assessment, strengthen supervision on projects with high pollution, high risk (hereinafter referred to as the "double high") in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Implementation Opinions on the Reform of Environmental Impact Assessment System in This Municipality (SMPG D [2019] No. 24) issued by the Municipal People's Government. The Directory of Key Industries under Classified Management of Environmental Impact Assessment for Construction Projects in Shanghai Municipality (2019 edition) (hereinafter referred to as the directory of key industries) is formulated by our Bureau in accordance with the relevant provisions of the State and this Municipality on the classified management of environmental impact assessment for construction projects, combined with the actual situation of this Municipality. We hereby distribute them to you and request you to implement them conscientiously.

For the "double-high" industries and projects included in the directory of key industries (only refer to those construction projects that are required to compile the environmental impact reports or forms), competent departments of ecology and environment at all levels shall exercise key supervision, examine and approve them strictly, and strengthen the supervision during and after the work. For industries and projects not included in the directory of key industries, simplified and optimized measures for environmental impact assessment may be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of Implementation Opinions on the Reform of Environmental Impact Assessment System in this Municipality as well as the relevant supporting policy documents.
