    In the river channel directly below the plant, the reporter noticed that the river channel was divided into two, half of the river water was yellow and turbid, the other half of the river water was normal green, and a lot of waste soil and slag accumulated on the bottom of the river.




    The villagers’ vegetable garden is located next to the wastewater sedimentation tank in the factory.
    The reporter noticed that the ditch water near the sedimentation tank was yellow or brown red.




    When interviewed, Xu Lixin, the legal representative of the factory, explained that the company has complete licenses and pollution discharge standards, otherwise it would not be possible to operate here for many years.
    As for the color of the river water is divided into two, Xu Lixin said that the plant's sewage discharge meets the standard.




    According to Xu Lixin, this river is called "Jinsha Stream (River)" and it flows directly into the Xinjiang River.




    In response, Yang Zonghua, the mayor of the People's Government of Siguqiao Township, Yushan County, said frankly that there are indeed many problems in the factory, which have affected the production and life of local residents.




    Yang Zonghua said that on April 24 this year, the township government issued the "Notice on the Rectification of Lixin Bentonite Chemical Plant" (Yu Sifu Fa [2018] No.
    15) to the plant, which is based on the township government’s safety inspection and inspection of your plant.
    County environmental Protection Agency environmental monitoring opinion, there is a problem you plant emissions and exhaust pollutant discharge standards are not asking you to immediate rectification plant:.
    .
    "1 immediate repair of wastewater automatic online monitoring equipment before the equipment can not efflux repaired the same time, Repair the original wastewater sedimentation tank and build a new wastewater sedimentation tank.
    "

    Regarding the problem of dust, the township government required the factory to build a new closed factory shed for raw materials, products, and special piles of calcium carbide slag to prevent open-air stacking and secondary dust pollution.
    At the same time, the waste gas pollution control facilities built in the crushing and packaging workshops ensure normal operation and ensure the stable discharge of waste gas pollutants.
    Although the township government issued the "Rectification Notice", the factory did not complete the rectification as required.




    Yang Zonghua stated that on May 15, the township government issued the "Notice on Requesting Lixin Bentonite Chemical Plant to Stop Production and Rectification" in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, ordering your plant to suspend production for rectification from now on.
    After all relevant rectifications are in place, production can be started only after the county safety committee, the county environmental protection bureau, and the Siguqiao township government have passed the on-site verification.




    Finally, Yang Zonghua said that the plant resumed production of some equipment in early November.
    If the plant still does not meet the relevant environmental protection requirements, the government will continue to take measures to deal with it seriously, and the masses are also welcome to supervise in accordance with the law.




    Wu Weixiang, deputy head of the inspection team of the Yushan Environmental Protection Bureau, also stated that the plant has an annual output of 5,000 tons of soil and a total drainage of 95,000 tons per year.
    The wastewater flows directly into the Xinjiang River through the Jinsha Stream (river).
    As for villagers’ complaints that the river course has been stratified and polluted, the bureau has accepted it and will start an investigation.




    "Next, we will gradually ban the establishment of high-pollution chemical plants such as Xin.
    " Yang Zonghua said.
