第三轮第七批中央生态环保督察启动：例行督察组进驻住建部、农业农村部 专项组督察7省溶洞天坑污染
据新华社10月12日报道，经党中央、国务院批准，第三轮第七批中央生态环境保护督察全面启动：组建2个中央生态环境保护督察组，对住房和城乡建设部、农业农村部开展例行督察，进驻时间约1个月；组建3个中央生态环境保护督察组，同步对河北、山西、广西、四川、云南、贵州、陕西等7省（自治区）开展溶洞、天坑污染问题专项督察，进驻时间约2周。
根据工作安排，督察组进驻期间设立专门值班电话和邮政信箱，主要受理被督察对象生态环境保护方面的来信来电信访举报。其他不属于受理范围的信访举报问题，将按规定交由被督察对象处理。中央生态环保督察是中国生态文明建设的一项重大制度安排，自2015年试点以来已完成两轮全覆盖、第三轮分批推进；对中央部门开展例行督察，意味着督察对象从地方进一步上延到行业主管部门本身。
本轮首次把溶洞、天坑污染单列为专项督察主题：喀斯特地貌区分布的溶洞、天坑是地下水系统的重要通道，一旦被倾倒垃圾、排放废水污染，修复难度极大，督察聚焦的7省区市正是中国喀斯特地貌最集中的区域。督察组在进驻结束后将形成督察报告，问题线索按程序移交处理，后续整改情况将向社会公开。（据新华社报道）
China Launches Seventh Batch of Third-Round Central Eco-Inspections, Including First Probe Into Sinkhole Pollution
China has launched the seventh batch of its third round of central ecological and environmental protection inspections, Xinhua reported on October 12. Two inspection teams will conduct month-long routine inspections of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, while three teams will carry out roughly two-week special inspections into pollution of caves and sinkholes (tiankeng) across seven provinces and regions: Hebei, Shanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Shaanxi.
During their stationing, the teams will set up dedicated hotlines and mailboxes to receive public reports on environmental violations by the inspected entities. The central inspection system, a major institutional arrangement for ecological protection in China, has completed two full rounds since its 2015 pilot; this round extends routine inspections to central government departments themselves. It is also the first time cave and sinkhole pollution has been singled out as a special inspection theme — karst formations are key channels for groundwater systems, making contamination unusually hard to remediate. Inspection reports and follow-up rectification are to be made public. (Source: Xinhua)
