Just listen to Chen Changqing say: "Two months ago, I went to investigate and verify that the PH value and suspended solids in the lower reaches of the Widow River seriously exceeded the standard. The culprit was the large amount of tailings wastewater and sewage discharged by Qiangsheng Mine. You know, from underground

The excavated minerals will undergo chemical reactions when exposed to oxygen and other substances, producing new substances, some of which are toxic. At that time, I drafted a penalty decision, imposing a fine of 380,000 yuan and requiring immediate correction. But later

The bureau didn’t approve it.”

"Why?" Ma Ming was confused.

Chen Changqing glanced outside the door, and Ma Ming immediately stood up and closed the door.

"The director didn't sign it," Chen Changqing said truthfully, "so let's leave it alone."

"Why didn't the Discipline Bureau sign it?"

Chen Changqing looked helpless and sighed: "The Discipline Bureau believes that fines cannot solve the problem. The key is for companies to implement rectification measures. If we blindly impose fines, our bureau will still be suspected of generating revenue through fines and will be complained.

Therefore, he personally interviewed Xiong Qiang and asked him to implement corrective measures, otherwise he would coordinate with the Bureau of Land and Resources to shut down the process. Xiong Qiang wholeheartedly agreed. Indeed, they did not discharge any more emissions in the next week. I went to review

At that time, everything was fine and no problems were found. But who knew they would get worse later."

After hearing this, Ma Ming felt a little nervous. Could it be that Director Ji Baoguo had an unexplained relationship with Xiong Qiang? Otherwise, why would he be so arrogant?

The problem is that if Ji Baoguo does not sign and approve, the Environmental Protection Bureau’s administrative penalty letter cannot be issued.

What should I do?

"Director Chen, Qiang Sheng Mine is so confident. It has only been open for half a year and it is so blatantly violating environmental protection laws. We cannot sit idly by and do nothing. We must set an example and show the majesty of the law." Ma Ming encouraged.

Chen Changqing was heartbroken and said in a deep voice: "I will lead a team to investigate and verify this afternoon. If it is true, I will punish you!"

"What should the Disciplinary Bureau do?"

"It all depends on people. The last time the Discipline Bureau interviewed them, they warned them that they refused to make corrections. If they don't punish them, it's unreasonable. He will issue them!"

At that time, the Environmental Protection Bureau had not yet implemented direct issuance of fines on-site, because it needed to take samples and return them to the bureau for testing. Only after it was confirmed that the standards were exceeded, could a case be filed, and a penalty decision be made based on relevant evidence, which would be submitted to the bureau leaders for approval before implementation.

"However, there is a problem. They have stepped up inspections now and do not let outsiders get close." Ma Ming reminded.

"We are the competent authority. No matter how arrogant he is, he will not dare to obstruct the investigation." Chen Changqing said confidently.

"The key is that if Mingli goes to investigate, they will suspend emissions; or if the matter is made public and they have time to do the work, the penalty decision may not be issued."

Chen Changqing's expression was slightly stagnant. The last time he saw Ma Ming, he felt like he was still a young and immature boy. Now he has become more mature and thoughtful in thinking about problems. He treated each other with admiration after seeing each other for three days. It's not easy.

Ma Ming's reminder was reasonable. Xiong Qiang's power in Feng County's political circles should not be underestimated. After getting the news, he would definitely intercept it halfway. It was really possible that the punishment decision would be aborted like last time.

Now, Ma Ming has brought over the rectification notice from Baoshan Township, as well as the video and photos of secretly discharging sewage a month ago, more than half a month ago, and yesterday. These are all evidence. If the photos and videos were taken this afternoon, then the

Sewage and river water are sampled and tested, and administrative penalties are imposed if the standards are indeed exceeded. There are no problems with the law enforcement basis and procedures.

Seeing that Chen Changqing had been deep in thought, Ma Ming added: "Bureau Chen, there are many polluting enterprises from mines, quarries and paper mills in Baoshan Township. The water quality and air quality are the worst in the county, so the people have great opinions, and the masses have complained about

Environmental friendly

It has something to do with the bureau's weak enforcement force and soft style. Some people say that they dare not enforce the law because they have ulterior motives. Therefore, it is recommended that the bureau strengthen its enforcement efforts and let the people see that our Environmental Protection Bureau dares to show its sword and quarrel with the boss.

!”

Chen Changqing's face turned red and white, and he looked at Ma Ming and said displeasedly: "You don't have to provoke the law. My philosophy has always been to enforce the law impartially and strictly. Those who damage the ecological environment and harm the interests of the people must be punished."

I once proposed that if the subject of law enforcement refuses to make corrections and still refuses to make corrections after being reminded once, then fines should be calculated on a daily basis and fined every day until the corrections are completed. Unfortunately, the leaders thought it was too harsh and was not in line with the guiding ideology of the county party committee and county government.

The agreement was rejected."

Ma Ming said sadly: "Then this is tantamount to connivance!"

"Yes, truly outstanding companies will fully cooperate with the government's work, strictly implement environmental protection requirements, proactively fulfill social responsibilities, and will not repeatedly violate regulations or even use improper means to cover up their illegal activities." Chen Changqing said angrily.

,"

Enterprises like Qiangsheng Mining have evil intentions and always like to engage in crooked ways and even recruit public officials. It is really abominable! If we continue to let it go, I will be so sorry for my identity and my original mission. So,

I will definitely punish you this time!"

"Yes, just do it!" Ma Ming was full of passion.

"Brother Xiaoma, I think you are a practical person, and I also want to do something. We have the same goals, and we will work together sincerely this time to achieve something big!"

The two hands were tightly clasped together.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Changqing quietly came to Qiangsheng Mine with the captain of the Environmental Supervision Team (full-level) and the chief of the pollution control unit (full-level) to conduct an undercover investigation.

Ma Ming and Pei Erhu met in the dense forest on the upper reaches of the Widow River.

After the two parties met, under the leadership of Pei Erhu, they walked through dense forests and thorn bushes, climbed a hillside, and walked across muddy ground and lush vegetation. After walking for twenty minutes, they finally arrived outside the walls of the powerful mine.

Below the wall is the Widow's River.

Because it is close to the river bank, the fence is relatively low, and the situation inside is clearly visible. Inside the fence is a flat plot of land, where machinery and equipment are parked, and a lot of tailings are also piled up.

In the mine, workers were working nervously. Several pit entrances were still far away from here, and no one saw them. After walking a few dozen meters further, they finally heard the sound of water flowing.

The sewage pool is not far inside the wall. The two large sewage pools are filled with yellow and dark sewage, and two pipes with a diameter of more than 50 cm protrude from the wall and are discharging sewage into the river.

Even red sewage rushed into the Widow's River, directly dyeing the surrounding river water dim yellow. Near the sewage pipe, the river bank was washed away to expose the river bed, and the surrounding aquatic plants had withered.
