Chinanews.com client, Beijing, September 8th (Reporter Lang Lang) Recently, the Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspectorate Group notified the five provinces of Jilin, Shandong, Hubei, Guangdong, and Sichuan, China Nonferrous Mining Group Co., Ltd., and China National Gold Group. Two central enterprises of the limited company have a number of outstanding ecological and environmental problems.
Once more than 100,000 tons of sludge were buried, "milk water" gushed out near the Yangtze River, and the soil borrowing pit turned into a garbage dump... These pollution problems reported by the inspection team were shocking.
The phenomenon of direct discharge of sewage in the pollution receiving area of the water purification plant in Maoming Dianbaicheng District, Guangdong Province is more prominent.

Sewage discharged directly, leaking "milk water" near the Yangtze River
Water pollution is a more prominent problem in this round of environmental inspections.
In Maoming, Guangdong, a large amount of domestic sewage is directly discharged in Dianbai District, which has an impact on the waters of Shuidong Bay.
Dianbaicheng District Water Purification Plant has frequent failures, often with "small problems, major treatments, and long shutdowns". Since December 2020, due to the failure of the aeration system, the maintenance has taken more than 5 months, during which about 10,000 tons of sewage per day Drain the East Bay straight.
The Shuidongwan New Town Sewage Treatment Plant with a daily processing capacity of 22,500 tons was completed in April 2019, but it was suspended for 27 months due to the disagreement on the change of the drainage direction. It was not resolved until the inspectors moved in.
Leakage from the phosphogypsum reservoir of Lunjingtang of Xiangyun Company leaked from the spring hole of Daquan Cave.

As the largest province in my country's phosphorus chemical industry, the annual output of solid waste phosphogypsum produced by Hubei phosphorus chemical enterprises ranks first in the country.
A large amount of phosphogypsum is piled up, and the water-soluble phosphorus pentoxide and water-soluble fluorine contained in it also pose a greater risk to the water environment of the Yangtze River.
Take Hubei Xiangyun (Group) Chemical Co., Ltd. Lunjingtang Phosphogypsum Reservoir as an example. The gypsum storage is less than 3 kilometers away from the mainstream of the Yangtze River. Due to improper implementation of anti-seepage measures, seepage occurred in the reservoir soon after it was completed and put into operation in 2018. Leak and pollute surrounding water bodies.
The contaminated river water was milky white, forming an obvious pollution zone, and entering Dongfeng Port via Meifu Port, causing the death of fish in Dongfeng Port.
The Daquan Cave near the reservoir was originally a source of water for production and living by the surrounding people. After being polluted, 149 surrounding people will be affected.
After monitoring, the water samples of Daquan Cave were acidic. The concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus were 27.1 mg/L and 695 mg/L, respectively, which exceeded the level of surface water by 26.1 times and 3474 times, respectively, and the pollution was serious.

Illegal landfill of an 8-meter garbage pit caused serious groundwater bacterial colonies exceeding the standard
Looking at the reports made by the inspection team, you will find that many places have simple and rude methods for dealing with pollutants. Once buried, even if the masses complained more than ten times, it was of no avail.
Take Sichuan Suining Xinjingyuan Bio-Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. as an example. Since 2014, the company has directly dumped or landfilled 105,100 tons of sludge under the guise of "soil improvement" without taking any harmless measures. In the leased land.
The inspector found that there were as many as 19 contaminated plots in the 687.9 mu of land leased by the company, covering an area of 193.9 mu, including 115.4 mu of basic farmland.
Sampling test found that the copper and zinc content in the soil of the surrounding plots exceeded the standard, and the surrounding environment was polluted.
Because of illegal dumping of landfill sludge, the company has been complained by the public 14 times since 2015. However, the relevant local functional departments have neither seriously investigated and handled complaints from the public nor investigated and dealt with the illegal activities of Xinjingyuan Environmental Protection Company in accordance with the regulations. The enterprise is confident and the problem intensifies.
The Urban Management Bureau of Luyuan District, Changchun, Jilin illegally landfills garbage. The picture shows the source of garbage excavated in the garbage pit: Ministry of Ecology and Environment
The same is caused by illegal landfill in Changchun, Jilin province.
The Urban Management Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau of Lvyuan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province illegally landfilled more than 240,000 tons of construction waste mixed with a large amount of domestic waste in the borrow pit of the second brick factory in Shaoguo Town, Nong'an County, seriously threatening the safety of groundwater.
In April 2021, residents near the Second Brick Factory in Shaoguo Town, Nong'an County reported relevant issues to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
On-site inspections organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment found that the borrow pit had been filled and covered with a large amount of loess.
The inspection team randomly selected 4 points to excavate the garbage pit on site and found that the upper layer was about 0.5 meters from the loess and construction waste mixture, and a large amount of domestic waste and construction waste mixture was buried down. The deepest landfill thickness reached 8 There are so many meters, the garbage in the pit and the heavily polluted groundwater are dark in color and have strong peculiar smell.
The monitoring results showed that many indicators of groundwater in the pit were seriously exceeding the standard, among which the total number of bacterial colonies was up to 120,000 bacterial communities/ml, which exceeded the groundwater type III standard limit by 1199 times; the fecal coliforms were up to 5000/liter.

Illegal mining key ecological area was "opened"
Through the report of the inspection team, it can be found that there are places where the pursuit of temporary economic benefits at the expense of the green mountains and rivers is embarrassing.
The Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou regions are important ecological function areas in the Pearl River and Yangtze River basins. The regional ecosystem is fragile and ecological restoration and governance are extremely difficult.
At the same time, the region is rich in mineral resources. China Gold has 3, 7 and 3 mining companies in Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou respectively.
Yunnan Gold Town Yuan Branch, a subsidiary of China Gold Tier 2 company CICC, illegally cross-bounded open-pit mining of more than 27 hectares, causing ecological damage; the environmental assessment approved the use of existing open-pit pits as waste rock yards, but the company violated the regulations to build a total Four waste rock yards covering an area of about 16 hectares pile up waste rocks.
The geological environmental protection and land reclamation tasks of the selection site, which should have been basically completed by 2020, have not yet been completed.
In addition, the scope of the mining rights of Hongyi Mining (Gold Mine) in Fengshan County, Guangxi overlaps with Guangxi Leye-Fengshan Global Geopark.
In 2016, Guangxi issued a document requesting Fengshan County to ban new gold mining and dressing projects, and existing projects will be withdrawn in 2019.
Not only did Hongyi Mining not withdraw, but instead applied for resumption of construction in 2020.
As a superior company, CICC Gold also approved the restart of the selection, reconstruction and expansion project. After learning about the negative list during the application process, it did not make rectifications as required, but found ways to promote the adjustment of the negative list.
The inspector found that the arsenic concentration of Hongyi Mining's mine water was directly discharged into the surrounding water body at 0.19 mg/L, which exceeded the standard limit of surface water by 2.8 times.
Regarding the above-mentioned issues, the inspection team stated that it will further investigate and verify the situation, and do a good job of follow-up inspections as required.
