On April 24th, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Sichuan Province held a press conference. At the meeting, two typical cases of ecological and environmental violations were reported.
Case One
Case of Sichuan Leading Microcrystalline Glass Co., Ltd. Exceeding Emission Standards of Air Pollutants
On December 28, 2023, law enforcement officers from the Ecological Environment Bureau of Guang'an City conducted an off-site inspection through the "Guang'an City Air Quality Grid Monitoring and Management Platform" and found abnormal data at the "Huaying Industrial Park No. 577" small and micro station. Law enforcement officers immediately investigated the surrounding enterprises of the small and micro station and found that the exhaust gas treatment facilities of Sichuan Leading Microcrystalline Glass Co., Ltd., which are about 300 meters away from the small and micro station, were damaged and not repaired in time, and the exhaust gas may exceed the standard. The Ecological Environment Bureau of Guang'an City immediately commissioned a third-party testing company to conduct testing on the company's external exhaust gas. The test results showed that the concentration of particulate matter emissions was 123.9mg/m3, exceeding the standard specified in the pollution discharge permit by 3.13 times; The concentration of nitrogen oxide emissions is 1050mg/m3, which exceeds the standard specified in the pollutant discharge permit by 2.5 times.
The above-mentioned behavior of the company violates Article 17, Paragraph 2 of the Regulations on the Administration of Pollutant Discharge Permits, which stipulates that pollutant discharge units shall comply with the provisions of the pollutant discharge permit, operate and maintain pollution prevention and control facilities in accordance with ecological environment management requirements, establish environmental management systems, and strictly control pollutant emissions. According to Article 34 (1) of the Regulations on the Administration of Pollutant Discharge Permits, the Guang'an Ecological Environment Bureau has imposed a fine of 566500 yuan on the company.
Case 2
Case of using infiltration pits to discharge production wastewater by Sichuan Hengxingrui Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. in Malkang, Aba Prefecture
On September 7, 2023, the Ma'erkang Ecological Environment Bureau of Aba Prefecture, together with the Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment for Ecological Environment Protection of Aba Prefecture and the Ma'erkang Public Security Bureau, conducted a joint inspection of the Shuangjiangkou Power Station. During the drone patrol, law enforcement personnel found that the circulating water pump of the wastewater treatment sedimentation tank in the Feishuiyuan Anti filter Material Processing System of the Shuangjiangkou Power Station was not turned on, and there was an opening in the northeast corner of the sedimentation tank. After investigation, it was found that the hole was artificially excavated, and the production wastewater in the pool was discharged into a seepage pit on the south side through the hole, and directly discharged into the underground through the seepage pit. The environmental impact assessment report of this project requires that the water function of the engineering river section is Class II water, and waste and sewage are prohibited from being directly discharged into the water body. They should be treated and reused, sprinkled with water to reduce dust, or comprehensively utilized for agriculture and forestry irrigation.
The above-mentioned behavior of the enterprise violates Article 39 of the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, which prohibits the use of seepage wells, seepage pits, cracks, and karst caves, the unauthorized installation of hidden pipes, the tampering or forgery of monitoring data, or the abnormal operation of water pollution prevention and control facilities to evade supervision in the discharge of water pollutants. According to Article 83 (3) of the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China and Article 63 (3) of the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, the Aba Prefecture Ecological Environment Bureau has imposed a fine of 206900 yuan on the company and transferred the case to the Malkang Public Security Bureau. On January 15, 2024, the Malkang Public Security Bureau lawfully detained the relevant person in charge, Li, for 5 days.

RELATED INFORMATION
Jiangxi Fuyun Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2002, jointly funded by Jiangxi Fushite Hydraulic Co., Ltd. and Jiangxi Copper Industry Group (Dexing) Industrial Co., Ltd. It is located in the economic and technological development zone of Shangrao, Jiangxi, which is known as the "thoroughfare of eight provinces". It is a young and mature, stable and dynamic environmental protection enterprise. The company has advanced production equipment and technology, and has been committed to the research and development, production, and sales of environmentally friendly products and equipment for many years. Capable of technical research and development. A comprehensive service model from engineering consulting, product design, project engineering contracting to after-sales service. Especially in the field of environmental protection filtration systems, our products are widely used in Jiangxi Copper and various metal smelting industries, covering various provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across the country, and have received widespread praise from customers.
Despite the successful completion of eight binding indicators in the field of ecological environment in 2021, achieving dual reductions in PM2.5 and ozone concentrations for two consecutive years, and achieving a good start in ecological environment protection during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the turning point of China's ecological environment quality from quantitative to qualitative change has not yet arrived.
Ozone is a strong oxidant with an oxidation-reduction potential of 2.07V, and its oxidation ability is second only to fluorine. It is an extremely strong oxidant that can be used to oxidize and degrade most organic compounds, including aromatic compounds, unsaturated compounds, difficult to biodegrade organic compounds, and toxic hazardous organic compounds.
On August 30th, the Ministry of Environmental Protection recently released five new standards for pollutant emissions. In response, Zou Shoumin, Director of the Science and Technology Standards Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, stated that after the implementation of the new standards, the emissions of particulate matter, vinyl chloride, and non methane total hydrocarbons in exhaust gas will be reduced by 51%, 72%, and 58% respectively compared to the current standards.
At present, the second round and fourth batch of central ecological and environmental protection inspections are in the sinking inspection stage. The fourth batch of inspectors has once again entered central enterprises to inspect the ecological and environmental management, environmental compliance, and implementation of ecological and environmental social responsibilities of China Nonferrous Mining Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China Nonferrous) and China Gold Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China Gold).
