en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Shaanxi Provincial Local Standard "Green Construction Specification for Solid Mineral Geological Drilling," drafted under the leadership of the Xi'an Mineral Resources Survey Center of the China Geological Survey and jointly compiled by the Institute of Exploration Technology of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and the 214 Brigade Co., Ltd. of Shaanxi Nuclear Industry Group, has been approved and released by the Shaanxi Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. This standard is the first local green construction standard in the field of solid mineral geological drilling in Shaanxi Province, filling the gap in the standardization construction of this field.
The Xi'an Mineral Resources Survey Center of the China Geological Survey is a public welfare institution directly under the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources, primarily responsible for mineral resources survey evaluation and prospecting breakthroughs in the northwestern region. The 214 Brigade Co., Ltd. of Shaanxi Nuclear Industry Group was established in 1964 and is a specialized geological team in northwest China focused on uranium exploration. It holds 12 Class A qualifications, including solid mineral exploration, geophysical exploration, and hydrogeology, engineering geology, and environmental geology surveys. It has undertaken over 800 national geological exploration projects and submitted more than 60 mineral deposit sites. Based on the concept of green development, this specification highlights the core principles of "ecological protection priority, controllable construction standards, and timely and effective restoration." It fully considers the topographic, geomorphic, and ecological environmental characteristics of different regions in southern Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi, and the Guanzhong area, systematically stipulating the entire process requirements for green construction in solid mineral geological drilling, including basic requirements, construction preparation, temporary construction, drilling operations, site restoration, documentation, and acceptance. The specification is supplemented with appendices such as an identification table for environmental impact factors in drilling operations, a reference table for common geological drilling techniques, and forms for green construction records, enhancing its practicality.
During the compilation process, the standard fully incorporated advanced domestic technologies and practical experience in green exploration and geological drilling, referenced relevant national and industry standards for environmental protection, drilling, and land reclamation, and considered the requirements of local regulations such as the ecological protection of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province. From February to March 2025, the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Natural Resources solicited public opinions, receiving 76 feedback comments from 10 organizations, of which 68 were adopted. The release and implementation of this specification is a concrete measure by Shaanxi Province to implement the requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration regarding the comprehensive implementation of green exploration. It will provide green technical support for the implementation of Shaanxi Province's new round of strategic action for prospecting breakthroughs and help achieve a win-win situation between mineral resource exploration and development and ecological environmental protection.
