Investigation of black coal kiln in Xiaoyi flood accident in Shanxi
"Miner" contracted enterprise illegally supply electricity to black coal kiln
As the black coal mine "mine owner" Du Jihong and other 8 suspects have all arrived, the accident investigation team also sent relevant professionals into the mine to conduct field surveys and investigations on the illegal mining of the involved coal mines.
An important part of the operation of black coal kilns is how to solve the power supply problem.
A reporter from the Beijing News investigated and found that the power source was connected to the coal mine’s "miner" Du Jihong from a transformer of an abandoned enterprise contracted by him.
After the incident, the power supply personnel had cut the cable from the source.
In addition, the person in charge of the Natural Resources Bureau of Xiaoyi City introduced that there was a historical reason for the black coal kilns in the city. In the past, due to the extensive mining of small and medium-sized coal mines, a large amount of residual coal remained underground.
In 2008, coal mine production capacity was consolidated, and a considerable number of coal mines that failed to meet production capacity requirements were shut down.
As coal market prices have risen in recent years, some black coal kilns have been tempted by profits to take risks.
Public information shows that after the Xiaoyi pirate mining accident, Luliang City held a special action deployment meeting to combat the pirate of mineral resources.
Xiaoyi asked all cadres in the city to sign a letter of undertaking, promising that he and his family would not engage in private exploitation.
The reporter was informed that in addition to the three members of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Mayor, and Deputy Mayor who have been removed from their posts, the second batch of directors of the Xiaoyi Natural Resources Bureau who have been accountable, the party secretary, mayor, and the town of Xixinzhuang Town in the city The chairman of the National People's Congress and the town's armed forces minister have been removed from office.
According to the news on the website of the Luliang Commission for Discipline Inspection on December 21, Yang Haisheng, chairman of the Xixinzhuang Town People’s Congress, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision and investigation by the Luliang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection; Xixinzhuang Natural Resources Bureau of Xiaoyi City Natural Resources Bureau The director of the institute, Hou Jinjun, is suspected of serious violations of the law and is currently under supervision and investigation by the Luliang Municipal Supervisory Committee.
As of December 21, in the “black coal mine” pirated water penetration accident in Duxigou Village, Xixinzhuang Town, Xiaoyi City, Luliang City, Shanxi Province, 20 trapped people were rescued and sent to the hospital. 10 people have been discharged from the hospital and returned home. Other miners are still staying. The hospital continues to observe and treat.
Rescued miners:
I knew it was a "black hole" and I just left if I wanted to make some pocket money.
On December 21st, Zhu Hui, a trapped "miner", was sent to the hospital for treatment and returned to his hometown smoothly.
Zhu Hui is a native of Nanchong, Sichuan. He recalled to a reporter from the Beijing News the frightening moment of the underground water leakage accident.
On the night of December 15th, he went down to the bottom of the well and then went to the third working face counted up for coal mining. He suddenly heard someone shouting, "Water is coming, water is coming, run away." Afterwards, he learned that the water is permeable. The penultimate working face in the mine.
Along the work surface roadway, Zhu Hui ran to the exit connected to the work surface roadway above and escaped all the way to a high place.
At the time of the incident, Zhu Hui had just been working at the black coal mine for five days and was introduced by Sichuan miner Hong Falin.
He said that Hong Falin was the foreman of the mine, and was killed in the mine trapped in the flooding accident.
Before coming here for work, the two worked in a large mine in Lishi District, Luliang.
When he first came to work, Zhu Hui said that he didn't know that this was a "black hole".
But after working for two days, he found that every time he went down the shaft he had to enter through a hydraulic iron gate that lifted automatically, and then went through a long underground tunnel to reach the shaft, and the shaft was located in a large hidden house.
At that time, I suspected that the mine was irregular.
Zhu Hui said that he learned from the foreman Hong Falin that there may be no formalities in the mine.
"Thinking that anyway, I will do it for ten or twenty days, and get some New Year's pocket money and go home." Zhu Hui continued.
Wages are settled every 10 days, and the wage standard is based on every flat car dug, the boss gives 40 yuan, about 600 catties per flat car.
Another "miner" Xu Keai, from Enshi, Hubei, had an accident on the seventh day when he went to work in the black coal mine.
He recalled that there were 7 working faces underground in the black coal kiln where the accident occurred. The miners went into various tunnels to mine coal in groups of three.
Hearing someone calling for water, he dropped the flat wagon in his hand and ran up.
"At that time, the permeable water washed away all the food and drink that everyone brought, and later found that the mineral water was floating up, so everyone took turns to drink a little." Xu Keai said.
Public information shows that the story of the permeation incident was published at 23:00 on December 15th. 22 miners were trapped underground. 43 hours later, they were rescued from the shaft, and 2 of them were killed.
According to Zhang Xiaoling, chief of the medical department of Xiaoyi City Hospital, the miners had been trapped underground for a long time, and their body temperature was low when they were sent to the hospital, and some people had symptoms of dehydration.
At present, after the evaluation by the hospital treatment expert group, on the 20th and 21st, the physical health indicators of 10 miners have reached the discharge standard and have been discharged from the hospital and returned home smoothly.
The other 10 miners are still in hospital for observation and treatment.
A list of rescued miners issued by the hospital showed that 20 miners were from Sichuan, Hubei, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Henan.
Land occupied by black coal mines:
It used to be an abandoned pit where construction waste was piled up
The production and operation of coal kilns are inseparable from power supply.
This black coal kiln power source has become the focus of public attention.
Earlier, Xinhua News Agency reported that the coal mine’s 380-volt power system was connected privately by the mine owner.
So, where does the power supply come from?
On December 20, Director Na of the Customer Service Center of the Marketing Department of State Grid Xiaoyi City Power Supply Company introduced that a legitimate enterprise must apply for electricity normally. Only the land use certificate can apply for the electricity license."
Director Na said that the power supply for the black coal mine in Duxigou Village was secretly transferred from another user.
Under normal circumstances, the use of electricity is not allowed to be changed at will after the application has been made. If the use is changed without permission, it is an illegal use of electricity.
How to supervise the electricity consumption of enterprises afterwards?
A staff member of the Operation Inspection Department of Xiaoyi Power Supply Company introduced that at present, the Supervision Department of the State Grid Luliang City Power Supply Company has dispatched personnel to investigate the illegal use of electricity by coal kilns.
The coal kiln uses buried cables, and the specific electricity consumption supervision is in the grassroots power supply station.
Wang Peng, director of the Xixinzhuang Power Supply Station of the Xiaoyi City Power Supply Company, told the Beijing News reporter that it is not convenient for him to disclose how the black coal kiln supplies power.
A reporter from the Beijing News found that there was a transformer about 500 meters south of the black coal mine involved, and a cable with a diameter of about 4 cm under the transformer distribution box had been cut. The section showed that there were four cables about 1 in total. Centimeter thick aluminum wire.
After the cable passed northward from under an east-west earth dam, it was buried deep and nowhere to be seen.
The person in charge of the Party Committee of Xixinzhuang Town, Xiaoyi City confirmed that the above-mentioned cut cable was the black coal kiln power supply, and the transformer was owned by Xiaoyi Stone Glass Co., Ltd.
Tianyan check shows that Xiaoyi Stone Glass Co., Ltd. was founded in December 2015, and the legal representative is Wu Junfeng.
A reporter from the Beijing News visited the company and the door was locked.
Judging from the structure of the factory building, it is suspected of being converted into a breeding farm.
An authoritative source of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee confirmed that in 2016, Xiaoyi Stone Glass Co., Ltd. was established, and the enterprise project registration and business license procedures were complete.
However, after it was completed that year, it was listed as a high-energy-consuming enterprise, unable to go through other legal procedures, and was shut down that year.
After that, it was contracted by Du Jihong, a villager in Duxigou Village and the "miner" of the black coal mine involved.
The issue of land occupied by black coal mines is also one of the focuses of attention.
On December 20, Zheng Hongquan, director of the Xiaoyi City Natural Resources Bureau, introduced that after the incident, the land use plan of Xiaoyi City was obtained to verify that the land occupied by the black coal mine was an abandoned pit where construction waste was piled up in the past.
The nature of the land is bare land, that is to say, it is a piece of idle and unused waste land.
However, development and construction on the ground must be approved by the government.
Causes of black coal kiln:
Extensive mining in history leaves residual coal to lure illegal mining
According to Zheng Hongquan, there is a historical reason why black coal kilns pirated the national mineral resources in Xiaoyi because of the rich underground coal resources in Xiaoyi. In the past, due to the extensive mining of small and medium-sized coal mines, a large amount of residual coal was left behind.
In 2008, Xiaoyi City integrated coal mine production capacity, and a batch of coal mines that failed to meet production capacity requirements were shut down.
As coal prices have risen in the winter in the past two years, some black coal mines have been lured by profits to conduct illegal mining.
Zheng Hongquan introduced that while the mine rescue team is draining the mine, the law enforcement team of the Xiaoyi Natural Resources Bureau, the Coal Management Bureau, and the third-party surveying and mapping company hired by the Xiaoyi City Natural Resources Bureau go down to conduct field surveys. Regarding the coal stolen by the coal mine involved, There is no exact number yet.
Earlier, Xinhua News Agency reported that the black coal kiln involved was constructed and mined in 2018 and was reported twice, but the “miner” has not been dealt with and the coal kiln has not been banned.
According to a statement issued by the Xiaoyi Natural Resources Bureau to a reporter from the Beijing News, on October 15, 2018, the Natural Resources Institute of Xixinzhuang Town did indeed receive a report on the illegal mining of coal resources from the coal mines involved.
After the law enforcement officers arrived at the scene and investigated, the illegal mine was located in the "river beach" in the north of Duxigou Village. The location was very concealed, with camouflage cover, openings in abandoned houses, and relatively primitive mining facilities.
Xixinzhuang Town organized machinery to landfill the entrance of the cave, demolished abandoned houses, and completely destroyed the illegal mining facilities.
From October 2018 to October 2019, the department was the focus of investigation, and no traces of illegal mining or construction were found.
On May 5, 2020, the town’s Natural Resources Institute received another report. After the law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they found that the location was located at the location of the report in 2018. There were camouflage and barriers around the place, and vehicles could not enter. They walked to the scene and found the mine. In the construction stage, the mine entrance has set up a "dark fort", the roof is a steel frame, and there is a coal storage shed below, and the entrance has not yet been completed.
The situation description showed that the facilities were completely destroyed by the organization of Xixinzhuang Town. The steel frame was cut and destroyed by electro-oxygen welding, the main structure was completely destroyed and demolished, the coal shed at the entrance of the cave was completely landfilled, and the illegal construction was completely destroyed.
In view of the fact that he did not commit fraudulent procurement and the scene was completely destroyed, it has not yet constituted a fact and has not constituted the standard for filing a case.
From May 2020 to April 2021, the office was a key target of the natural resources investigation of Xixinzhuang Town, and no signs of construction or illegal mining were found.
Luliang City:
"Black Mines" Must Have Umbrellas, The City Checks "Inner Ghosts"
According to the website of the Luliang Municipal Government, on December 18, the city held a special action mobilization and deployment meeting to combat the theft of mineral resources, and decided to focus on a month to carry out a special action against the theft of mineral resources in the city.
Sun Dajun, secretary of the municipal party committee, said at the meeting that a large-scale carpet inspection was carried out to fully check the number of black coal kilns, without missing one village, one ditch and one mine.
He said that those who dare to open "black mines" must have a protective umbrella. If you want to be a good "black mine owner," you must settle the relationship with the relevant parties.
The city’s cadres and public officials came to a large-scale investigation and made a big start. The discipline inspection and supervision organs must strike out, resolutely find out the "inner ghosts" and completely eliminate the "cancer" in the cadre team.
Sun Dajun also said that private mining and indiscriminate mining has a long history in some places, and the fundamental reason is that the relevant party committees, governments, and regulatory agencies have neglected their duties.
Dereliction of duty must be held accountable, and criminals must be severely punished to cover up and link criminals.
Those who do not stop or report must be removed from their posts; lazy, mediocre, and confused officials who do not know the situation must also be removed.
Just before the black coal mine accident, on October 5, the official website of Xiaoyirong Media reported that the Xiaoyi City Natural Resources Bureau went deep into Xixinzhuang Town to carry out a special supervision on combating illegal mining and indiscriminate mining.
According to Yang Haisheng, chairman of the Xixinzhuang Town People’s Congress, the town and village officials conducted grid-based investigations for factories, mines, planting and breeding bases, and residential areas of Yifa Point, and no private digging or excessive mining was found.
A local person familiar with the phenomenon of illegal mining of black coal kilns said that in addition to being highly concealed, these black coal kilns also have a set of evidence of destruction.
For example, he once saw a black coal kiln in Wuxizhuang Village, Xixinzhuang Town, where the roads for transporting coal out were blocked to prevent outsiders from approaching.
Only when coal is discharged, the mound of blocked road is pushed away.
Moreover, brooms are attached to the sides of the two rear wheels of the coal truck, so that no wheel marks will be left after the vehicle passes by.
On December 21, an authoritative source of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee confirmed that in addition to the three members of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee, Mayor, and Deputy Mayor who were dismissed, Zheng Hongquan, Director of the Natural Resources Bureau of Xiaoyi City, and Party Secretary and Mayor of Xixinzhuang Town, The chairman of the town people’s congress and the town’s armed forces minister have also been accountable and removed.
According to the news on the website of the Luliang Commission for Discipline Inspection on December 21, Yang Haisheng, chairman of the Xixinzhuang Town People’s Congress, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision and investigation by the Luliang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection; Xixinzhuang Natural Resources Bureau of Xiaoyi City Natural Resources Bureau The director of the institute, Hou Jinjun, is suspected of serious violations of the law and is currently under supervision and investigation by the Luliang Municipal Supervisory Committee.
Guo Fengli, the new party secretary of Xixinzhuang Town, said at a special action meeting on the town to combat private mining and indiscriminate mining resources on the 20th.
As long as it is a black hole, find one to completely destroy one.
