Enterprise perennial sewage “has surgery,” hundreds of thousands of people involved in drinking water threat “Yueyang arsenic pollution” local governments “edge ball”

“looks like the responsibility of the enterprise, the actual source of the local government, local protectionism, ‘the Government does not as a’ led to the root causes of pollution incidents. “September 14, the State Environmental Protection Administration Pan Yue, deputy director of the Yueyang County, arsenic contamination outspoken.

9 8, Yueyang County, Wall River water pollution has been identified as arsenic contamination. At this point, the State Environmental Protection Administration sent a working group of companies rushed to the accident site suspected of preliminary investigations, determined that the incident was caused by contamination from normal emissions due to alleged enterprise.

then, companies did not address why the normal emissions? Local government and environmental protection department said Pan Yue, labeled “Government is not as” do? This is one of the reasons in the end what is it?

10 thousand residents of drinking water, the threat

new wall River, originating from Pingjiang baby Ling, flows through the Linxiang, Yueyang, finally into the Dongting Lake and is only 108 km length in the map of China and even in Hunan, both on the map is difficult to be found. However, the provisions of the river unknown, but because of arsenic pollution, “overnight fame.”

9 6, Yueyang County, Environmental Protection Agency on the new river wall cases of surface water inspection found excessive levels of arsenic. Re-sampling, re-testing. September 8, Yueyang Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center data show that: water arsenic exceeding 10 times. This means that, Yueyang County, 10 thousand residents and downstream along the six townships the masses are a serious threat to the safety of drinking water.

It is understood that arsenic chemical name for “Arsenic”, commonly known as arsenic, high toxicity, as a carcinogen. If it is chronic poisoning, will lead to liver and kidney damage and peripheral neuritis, eventually can cause lung cancer, skin cancer and so on.

9 Yue 8 On the afternoon of Yueyang county, the county government held an emergency meeting and make decisions: organizational strength, check the sources of pollution; increase the monitoring frequency; as soon as possible to the public, drinking water, not drinking water at the same time the organization.

evening, Yueyang County, environmental protection, public health departments began to investigation sources, through multiple points of different water sampling inspection to determine the sources of pollution in Linxiang City, 50 kilometers upstream mining Peach Street office area.

9 9, the local environmental protection department lock the birthplace of the pollution incident as Taolin Lead-Zinc Mine. 10, the State Environmental Protection Administration sent a working group rushed to the accident companies suspected of field surveys, Yueyang County, river bed sediment in the wall for many years kept the plot of arsenic pollutants. They initially found that pollution from the incident was not a sudden environmental incident, it is suspected of corporate normality emissions caused by the nature of bad.

normal emissions from long-lost river twists and turns the discovery of new walls in its upper reaches were located in the territory known as the Linxiang Taolin River. Taolin quite well-known in Hunan is located Taolin River lead-zinc.

Taolin Lead-Zinc Mine was founded in 1957, is the “First Five-Year Plan”, one of 156 key projects in 2002, bankruptcy due to resource depletion.

2003 Nian Taolin Lead-Zinc Mine, after the completion of bankruptcy, the three individuals from the field boss of the mine, plant and equipment leases, respectively, do play a sulfuric acid plant, zinc oxide plants, chemical plants and other three companies, while the arsenic pollution on the the original sulfuric acid plant from the Taolin Lead-Zinc converted Yueyang Haoyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Haoyuan Company”).

Haoyuan’s main entrance at the left side of the wall, “China Economic Weekly” reporter noted that there is such a profile: The company is Linxiang city in 2004 on the scale of the introduction of a private enterprise, an annual output of 40,000 tons sulfuric acid. Meanwhile, Haoyuan company office with one “key protection Linxiang city enterprise” plaque.

But what is confusing is that this has been key to protect the enterprise since 2004 after production has been carried out there would be no environmental approvals. Until May of this year, business was issued by the local environmental protection department of a temporary waste discharge permit.

Linxiang City deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection, Shu-Hua Lu said Taolin Lead-Zinc bankrupt, in the original sulfuric acid production line established on the basis of the Haoyuan company, and later contracted to the Liuyang Zhao-Hui Yao.

with Haoyuan wall separates the company is a zinc oxide plant, the plant has an integrated pool. According to the staff of the environmental protection department, which is Taolin mine sulfuric acid plant effluent treatment pond, the original sulfuric acid plant effluent should be treated in this efflux. But Haoyuan’s opening, its sewage treatment facilities have been non-existent, but the other side of the factory opened a sewage outfall, wastewater directly into taolin river without any treatment. Over time, as well as outfall of the sediment deposited more than one meter thick.

Linxiang city environmental protection bureau, told reporters Chen Lin explains, “this plant, we have been required testing. From the record, their emissions have been compliance. But companies secretly tamper with, we have no way to of the. “

However, the Hunan Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, said Jiang Yimin,” Enterprise normal emissions so long, why not find? local environmental protection bureau dealing with the pollution incident bears considerable responsibility. “

officials said candidly that fight the “edge ball”

9 Yue 12 On the afternoon of Yueyang county, from time to time delivery of drinking water through the fire trucks and water truck on the street.

Yueyang county official “China Economic Weekly” said, in fact, from the Yueyang City, Yueyang County, just 25 kilometers from the county to the city it is quite easy, “direct losses were incurred, but the indirect losses are not small.”

for the arsenic contamination causes of the incident, the official said that “This year’s dry season came early, before an adequate amount of water, pollutants dilute faster.”

deeply the pain of arsenic contamination of citizens believe that the environmental protection department Monitoring is not timely, “I do not know how much above the standard for drinking water.” It is understood that the Yueyang County, EPA river wall of new surface water sampling is early September, while the last detection time is early June, the time span has reached 3 months.

According to “Water Environment Monitoring Standards” provides: General small and medium rivers and sampling frequency of the basic points of not less than six times a year, Fung, flat, dry season of two times; water supply sources and other important waters and sampling frequency of not less than 12 times per year .

in accordance with the provisions of the new river wall, through the regional environmental protection department of the sampling frequency significantly lower than national regulations. Jiang Yimin Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau explains, “This river is too small, but also on the above provisions are not enough in the ‘medium and small rivers’. Like this will normally be divided into quarterly monitoring, 4 times per year. Meanwhile, the dry season to According to the water level had increased sampling frequency. “

Jiang Yimin added,” Water Environment Monitoring Standards “is set in 1998 in the country more and more emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development today, with horses with the” normative “need to be more the high requirements in order to adapt to social development.

“enterprises to change the raw material is also in connection with the incident have an important relationship.” Linxiang City Vice Mayor Lu Shu-Hua investigation of the case based on his explanation, before the Haoyuan company to buy raw materials from the Guangdong Province, the price high, but the amount of arsenic small. In recent years, sulfuric acid market downturn, in order to reduce costs, companies bought a batch of raw materials from the Anhui Province, the price is low, but high levels of arsenic, “is still left as they are discharged, the result of the accident.” Lu Shu-Hua, deputy mayor said.

environmental approvals for this are not won even come to the enterprise, municipal environmental protection bureau Chen Lin explained that the Linxiang City Environmental Protection Bureau of this business is limited to a number of routine testing detected. The so-called compliance, in fact, only a routine compliance, detection of heavy metals such as arsenic, Linxiang City, including Yueyang county do not have such equipment, you must get to the detection of Yueyang City. Which is a heavy metal testing time to three hours, “is a device, Linxiang all businesses a one each enterprise, our staff numbers ten and do not finish the year also.”

It is understood that the present a set of heavy metal detection equipment is about 400 thousand yuan. Chenlinjuzhang “China Economic Weekly” said, “according to standardized test requirements, environmental protection departments Linxiang so at least the vehicle is equipped with two standardized testing, but now one also can not afford.”

In addition to financial and human resources in addition, the local environmental protection departments seem to have a deeper difficulties. It is understood that an annual output of 100,000 tons of sulfuric acid the following companies are prohibited by the state of high pollution, high energy consumption of the “five small” project, Haoyuan’s annual output of sulfuric acid only 4 million tons, while the company had the effrontery to “key protect the enterprise “Prior to approving the environmental protection examination and approval of production for so long.

Lu Shu-Hua, deputy mayor said that the bankruptcy Taolin mine has been quite a headache for local government. At first, the mine, there are more than 8,000 employees, corporate bankruptcy, the workers a way out a problem. Later, it was to invest a large portion of workers will be very welcome, particularly when the plant was originally the production of sulfuric acid, “Haoyuan company has also launched a way.” Chenlinjuzhang added, “As long as firms are not going too far, we generally the edge of the policy to fight some ‘edge ball’. “

to” not as a “knife

9 13, learned that the full restoration of Yueyang County residents have water.

It is understood that water intake of drinking water sources still have a certain excessive levels of arsenic, but no longer affect the water plant supply water quality. In addition, the three companies suspected of arsenic contamination was halted, the local government is stepping up to the limestone of the sewage outfall was plugging, closure and other measures to prevent the formation of new rivers after rain pollution.

same day, the Hunan Provincial Government has decided the composition of the provincial supervision department and the provincial Environmental Protection Bureau joint investigation team, the responsibility for pollution accidents investigation of this incident all the responsible persons, whoever is involved, an investigation has revealed that some serious punishment must not be tolerated.

In this regard, said Pan Yue, SEPA has been informed to the Ministry of Supervision, it is recommended the provincial government to strictly pursue the local government administrative responsibility of the person concerned has now begun on the local “executive is not as” investigation of the matter, and environmental protection Administration will pay close attention and follow up supervision and the results of the investigation and handling of this incident.

Supervision Department, Hunan Province, an official said that Hunan is a province infested rivers and lakes, a long time, there are more security risks of drinking water sources, the provincial government is very likely to the arsenic contamination as an opportunity to carry out a large-scale “environmental remediation storm.” (Cao Kai-hong)

地方官员谈岳阳污染：是走在政策上线边缘罚款

企业常年污水“的手术，”对饮用水的威胁“岳阳砷污染”地方政府“擦边球”
涉及几十万人
“我喜欢看的企业的责任，在当地政府的实际来源，地方保护主义，’政府不作为’导致污染事件的根本原因。“9月14日，国家环保总局潘岳对岳阳县砷污染直言不讳副主任。

9 8，岳阳县，墙河水质污染已被确定的砷污染。在这一点上，国家环保总局派出赶到事故现场初步调查怀疑，确定该事件是由涉嫌企业因污染造成的正常排放企业工作组。

当时，公司没有解决，为什么？正常排放当地政府和环保部门潘岳说，标有“政府不作为”怎么办？这是最终的原因之一是什么呢？

10000居民饮用水的威胁

新墙河，从平江原产婴儿岭，流经临湘，岳阳，终于进入洞庭湖，只有108的中国地图公里长，甚至在湖南，在地图上都难以被发现。然而，在河未知的规定，但由于砷污染“一夜成名”。

9 6，岳阳县环保局对新河地表水墙案件检查发现，过量的砷。重新取样，重新测试。 9月8日，岳阳市环境监测中心的数据表明：水砷含量超过10倍。这意味着，岳阳县，1.0万居民和沿线6个乡镇群众的严重威胁到下游的饮水安全。

据了解，对“砷，砷的化学名称”，俗称砒霜，高毒性，为致癌物。如果是慢性中毒，会导致肝，肾损害和周围神经炎，最终可导致肺癌，皮肤癌等。

9乐在岳阳县8日下午，县政府召开紧急会议并作出决定：组织力量，检查污染源，加大监测频率，尽快向公众，饮用水，不喝酒水在同一时间组织。

晚上，岳阳县，环保，卫生部门开始调查的消息来源，通过不同的水多次抽样检查，以确定在临湘市上游50公里处挖掘桃街办公区污染源点。

9 9，当地环保部门锁定作为桃林铅锌矿发生污染事件的发源地。 10日，国家环保总局派出工作组赶赴出事的实地调查，岳阳县，河墙上的床泥沙涉嫌公司多年来不断的砷污染物的阴谋。他们初步发现，从事件污染并不是一个突发性事件，它是企业正常的性质造成的不良怀疑排放。

从长期正常排放洛斯特里弗曲折的新墙在其上游的发现是在为临湘桃林河称为境内。桃林已很清楚，位于湖南桃林河铅锌矿。

桃林铅锌矿于1957年成立，是“一五”计划，其中156个重点项目于2002年，破产因资源枯竭。

2003念桃林铅锌矿，破产后的完成，从矿山，厂房及设备租赁，分别外地老板的三个人，确实发挥硫酸厂，氧化锌厂，化工厂和其他3公司，而对原有的桃林铅锌矿转换岳阳浩源化工有限公司（以下简称“浩源公司”）的硫酸厂砷污染。

浩源的在左侧墙上的正门，“中国经济周刊”记者指出，这样的概况：该公司是临湘在2004年就对一家民营企业，一个年产4万引进大规模的城市吨硫酸。同时，浩源一个“临湘市重点企业”牌匾保护公司的办公室。

但令人困惑的是，这是关键，以保护自2004年以来，企业生产后已经进行了就没有环保审批。直到今年5月，企业颁发了当地一个临时排污许可证的环境保护部门。

临湘市在环保，陆树华副市长分管说，桃林铅锌矿破产，在原硫酸生产线的基础上建立浩源公司，后来承包给浏阳姚朝晖。
与浩源墙
分离公司是氧化锌厂，工厂集成了一个游泳池。根据环保部门，这是桃林矿硫酸厂的污水处理池的工作人员，原硫酸厂的污水应在此外排处理。但浩源的开幕，其污水处理设施已不存在，但工厂的另一边开到桃林河排污口，废水未经处理直接。随着时间的推移，以及沉积泥沙排放超过1米厚。

临湘市环保局对记者说，陈哩嗯解释说：“这个工厂，我们一直要求的测试。从纪录，其排放的废气一直遵守。但公司秘密篡改，我们是没有的方式。”

然而，湖南省环境保护局表示，蒋一民，“企业只要正常排放量，为什么找不到？当地环保局与污染事件处理负有很大的责任。”

官员坦言，打“擦边球“

9乐12日在岳阳县下午不时通过的饮用水消防车和洒水车在街上输水。

岳阳县正式的“中国经济周刊”说，其实从岳阳市，岳阳县，只有25公里，县，市是很容易的，“直接损失，已经支付，但间接损失不小。“
的砷污染
事件的原因，这位官员说：“今年的干旱季节来到之前，早期适量的水，稀释污染物快。”

深切公民的砷污染的痛苦相信，环保部门监测不及时，“我不知道有多少以上的饮用水标准。”据了解，岳阳县环保局新的地表水取样河堤是9月初，而上次检测时间是6月初，时间跨度达3个月。

根据“水环境监测标准”规定：一般中小河流及抽样不少于6次，每年的基本点的频率，丰，平，枯水期的2倍，供水水源和其他重要水域和采样频率不得少于每年12次。

按照新墙河的规定，通过区域的采样频率大大低于国家规定降低环境保护部门。蒋一苠省环境保护局解释说：“这条河是太小了，而且在上述规定中没有’中小河流够’喜欢这个。通常会到每个季度的监测，分为每年4次。与此同时，旱季的根据水位有所增加采样频率。“

姜一民说：”水环境监测标准“成立于1998年在该国越来越多的环境保护和可持续发展的今天强调与马， “规范”需要更多的高要求，以适应社会的发展。

“企业改变原材料也与该事件有关的有一个重要的关系。”临湘市副市长吕树华案件的调查，他解释之前，浩源公司，根据购买的广东省，价格高，但砷量小的原料。近年来，硫酸市场不景气，为了降低成本，公司购买了由安徽省一批原料，价格低，但高砷含量，“还是像原来那样出院，结果意外。“陆树华，副市长说。

这甚至不来赢得企业的环保审批，市环保局陈梨嗯解释说，临湘市环保局的这项业务仅限于数量的例行检验检测。所谓的遵守情况，在事实上，只有符合常规，砷等重金属检测，临湘市，包括岳阳县没有这种设备，您一定要到岳阳市检测。这是一个沉重的金属检测时间缩短至3小时，“是一个设备，临湘所有的企业每一个企业，我们的员工人数10，不完成今年也是。”

据了解，目前的重金属检测设备一套约40.00万元。 Chenlinjuzhang“中国经济周刊”说，“根据标准化测试要求，环保部门临湘，至少在车辆配备两个标准化测试，但现在一个也不能。”

除了财政和人力资源外，当地环保部门似乎有更深入的困难。据了解，10万硫酸下列公司是由高污染，对“五小”项目，浩源的硫酸只有4年产100万吨高耗能国家明令禁止的年产万吨，而公司他居然以“重点保护企业”前通过环保审查和批准生产这么久。

吕树华，副市长说，桃林矿的破产已经不少地方政府头痛。起初，矿山，有超过8,000名员工，企业破产，工人一出一问题的办法。后来，这是投资的工人大部分是非常欢迎的，尤其是当该工厂原来是硫酸生产，“浩源公司还推出了一个办法。” Chenlinjuzhang补充说：“只要企业不是走得太远了，我们一般的政策的边缘打一些’擦边球’。”

“不作为”刀

9 13，据悉，全面恢复岳阳县的居民有水。

据了解，水饮用水源的摄入量仍然有一定的砷含量过高，但不再影响自来水厂供水的水质。此外，这三家公司涉嫌砷污染停产后，当地政府正加紧对石灰岩排污口堵塞，封锁和其他措施，以防止酸雨污染后的新的河流的形成。

同日，湖南省政府已决定了，省监察厅组成和省环保局联合调查小组，对污染事故调查这一事件的责任，所有的负责人，不管涉及什么人，一项调查发现一些严重的处罚，绝不姑息。

在这方面，潘岳说，国家环保总局获悉，以监察部，建议省政府严肃追究当地政府有关人员的行政责任，目前已对当地“行政不作为开始”调查此事，环保总局将密切关注和跟踪监督，调查和处理这一事件的结果。

监管司，湖南省一名官员说，湖南是一个省布满河流和湖泊，很长一段时间，也有更多的饮用水源安全隐患，省政府很有可能以此为契机，进行处理砷污染了大规模的“环境整治风暴。” （曹开洪）06.9.18
