In order to give full play to the guiding function of financial policies and intensify pollution control, Shandong proposed to set up a regulatory fund for the discharge of major pollutants, and combine it with the provincial funds for energy conservation and environmental protection into an "environmental protection fund pool" for promoting ecological civilization construction.

According to the implementation plan on establishing and improving financial intensive mechanism to promote the ecological civilization construction, Shandong will collect funds, on a gradient basis, to regulate the discharge of major pollutants from the eastern, central and western areas on the basis of the annual total emissions of such major pollutants as chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide.

At the same time, Shandong will establish the reward and punishment mechanism for energy conservation and emission reduction, and return regulatory funds to each city in a certain proportion on the basis of its emission reduction of four major pollutants and energy consumption per unit of GDP. Taking the major pollutants as an example, Shandong will return the funds in accordance with different proportions to cities that have fully completed the annual task of emission reduction, exceeding the task and failing to complete the task.

The provincial government proposed that the local government could break the specific direction for the use of the fund and should integrate it with the local fund for energy conservation and environmental protection to make an overall use of the fund to improve the quality of ecological environment and the capacity building of the information monitoring facilities and law enforcement. The local governments are required to earnestly fulfill their main responsibility of fund management, focus on solving prominent environment problems, and promote the continuous improvement of local ecological environment quality.
