河道砂石是河床的重要组成部分,是保持河势稳定与河流健康的重要影响因素,也是基础设施建设的重要资源,具有重要的经济价值。河道采砂管理是保护江河湖泊的重要内容,事关防洪安全、供水安全、通航安全、生态安全和重要基础设施安全。科学高效地保护和利用河道砂石资源,是保障经济社会及生态平稳发展的基础。通过收集淠河河道采砂管理的相关资料并进行实地调研,分析了淠河河道采砂管理现状以及在采砂规划、许可、监管等方面存在的问题,并提出了强化采砂规划编制工作、提前谋划规划编制工作、科学编制采砂实施方案、建立跨市、县、区联合监管机制、加强采运砂全过程管理、采砂资料标准化管理等加强河道采砂监管工作的对策建议。研究成果可为全国河道采砂管理工作提供借鉴,为依法、科学、规范地采砂提供参考。

[Objective] Scientifically and efficiently protecting and utilizing river sand resources is fundamental to ensuring stable economic, social, and ecological development. [Methods] This study systematically collected and organized data related to sand mining management in the Pihe River, supplemented by field investigations, site inspections, and theoretical analysis, to examine the current management status and identify problems and challenges in regulatory supervision. [Results] Sand mining management of the Pihe River faced the following problems: incomplete and low-quality data for the formulation of sand mining plans; inconsistent quality in the implementation plans across counties and districts, with some merely replicating the original planning documents; differing supervision approaches and standards among municipalities, districts, and counties along the river, indicating the need for improved joint oversight; limited tools to regulate and monitor the minimum excavation elevation; and inadequate sand mining data management in some areas, where records remained largely paper-based and unstandardized. Measures and proposals were put forward to strengthen the supervision of river sand mining, including enhancing the preparation of sand mining plans, scientifically formulating implementation plans, establishing joint supervision mechanisms across municipalities, districts, and counties, strengthening whole-process management of sand extraction and transport, and standardizing sand mining data management. [Conclusion] Future efforts should focus on: (1) establishing a coordinated sand mining management mechanism, led by governments at or above the county level, with water authorities taking the lead, coordinated by relevant departments, and subject to public supervision, to strengthen integrated management; (2) enhancing whole-process supervision of sand mining activities before, during, and after extraction; (3) promoting the application of new technologies, such as BeiDou monitoring systems for river sand mining, electronic documentation for sand transportation, electronic sand mining permits, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. The findings can serve as a reference for sand mining management in rivers nationwide and support lawful, scientific, and standardized sand extraction.
