According to reports, May 20 around 1 o'clock in the morning, the plant opened the sewage gates, while the night to the adjacent Liquan Spring River discharge "smelly sewage." As the lifeline of the water source, but frequently become the source of pollution. Who will secure the water? Who should bear the responsibility of water pollution? Kim Gong Group again exposed to the scandal of pollution by CCTV exposure media reports, Shandong Gold Gong Group is located in Meishan, a factory suspected of "illegal sewage." It is understood that the local villagers repeatedly to the city, county government and environmental departments reflect the problem, but has not been resolved, Rou also claimed that their own inspection report is qualified. Data show that the Liquan Spring River length of more than 60 kilometers, the basin area of more than 520 square kilometers, living along the river 150,000 people, is the province of Sichuan, the key small watershed renovation area, the quality of the perennial is inferior five standards. Flow through the Sichuan Province of Meishan Liquan Quan River length of more than 60 kilometers, the original meaning of Liquan springs refers to the sweet spring, but now has become the same black sewage river. Sewage down the ditch rushing to flow, the discharge of sewage is home rou Meishan Gold Gong Food Co., Ltd. May 20 around 1 o'clock in the morning, the plant opened the sewage gates, while the night to the adjacent Liquan Spring River emissions "foul smell of sewage." The company was originally a local state-owned enterprises, after being Shandong Jin Gong Group company, Meishan Gold Gong and the group of several food companies, known as the current China's largest pig slaughtering processing and meat production base. In addition to this rou, in the Fishes Beach bridge less than 1 kilometers of the reach, there are 8 of paper mills, or obviously or concealed set up sewage, sewage situation is also shocking. Meishan Dongpo District In recent years, 15 consecutive villagers died of lung cancer. Facing the illegal problem, Kim Gong Group, a relevant person in charge of the response that the company has been paying attention to sewage treatment, has also been subordinate to the Meishan Gold Gong Food Co., Ltd. installed a sewage treatment system. At the same time, there is information on the Internet, Jin Gong group in the field of water treatment has a more advanced technology and processing technology. Because meat processing and soybean deep-processing business will produce a large number of waste water, Jin Gong Group has now formed a water treatment system, sewage centralized treatment system and sewage treatment equipment production three business units. Jin Gong group in each exposure after the scandal, will be highly publicized their advanced technology, equipment, and improve the management system. However, while advocating their own, but can not conceal the frequent exposure of the scandal. Local regulators are already aware of the situation and are actively dealing with it. Jin Gong Group PR company staff said he received from the Kim Gong Group, "at present, the local Environmental Protection Bureau has entered the investigation, the company is also actively conducting an internal investigation." We will not shy away from this responsibility. And what kind of responsibility the company needs to bear, the person said, he is not clear, because all the results of the inspection has not come out. A head of Sichuan provincial environmental Protection Department said: "Very responsible, we have been in the process of dealing with, investigation, we have to go through the statutory procedures, first by the Ministry of Supervision of the scene to carry out law enforcement inspection, if it involves the need to come up with sewage data, and then submitted to the regulatory Department for Verification, after verification, will give the corresponding punishment recommendations, will be fined or discontinued, such as different punishment measures. "The cost of sewage treatment is high for large enterprises every day," "First of all, the installation of sewage treatment systems is a huge expense," said Ma June, director of the Center for Public and Environmental research at the civil Environmental Protection Organization. Second, the larger the average daily displacement of the enterprise, its pharmaceutical costs, electricity, labor management costs, sludge processing costs will be higher. Large enterprises, a day of pollution costs can often be tens of thousands of to a hundred thousand of, it is (illegal emissions) motivation. "CCTV financial commentators believe that the pollution is to improve the illegal costs, such as the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the illegal discharge of sewage, not only administrative fines, but also to accept criminal sanctions." The fine is below 250,000 dollars and the sentence is imprisonment for 15 years or less. From the frequent emergence of the corporate pollution scandal, we see that the treatment of enterprise violations must be a punch, increase the punishment, not in violation of the problem, pay some fine can be done, this will undoubtedly condone the illegal business. Only let the enterprise realize that the cost of breaking the law is very high, the punishment is very heavy, so that enterprises dare not violate the operation, can fundamentally solve the problem.
