The next day, Pei Erhu lived up to expectations. In the morning, he sent the rectification notice to Qiangsheng Mine. The mine signed and stamped it, and stated that it would stop emissions as soon as possible and make comprehensive rectifications. The slogans were shouted loudly, but the attitude was unspeakable. As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, Pei Erhu was photographed.

Photos and videos of mines recklessly discharging wastewater and sewage into the Widow River.

Obviously, Xiong Da didn't pay attention to the rectification notice from the township government at all, and he didn't believe that the government dared to punish him. Even if the punishment was only to require the payment of fines and rectification, for him, these insignificant measures were not worth it.

Mention.

However, when he returned home that night, Xiong Da reported Ma Ming's inspection and receipt of the rectification notice. As a result, Xiong Qiang scolded him and asked him to stop the discharge of wastewater and sewage and restore the occupied forest land to its original appearance in a timely manner.

"Dad, there are thousands of tons of tailings waste on the forest floor, and it won't be cleared away for a while." Xiong Da said aggrievedly, "Also, if the tailings wastewater is not discharged into the river, there will be no place to discharge it."

"You are the mine manager, you come up with a solution!" Xiong Qiang, who has always been strict with his two sons, said with a fierce look on his face, "This period is a critical period for applying for a green mine, and there must be no punishment or media reports.

Starting tomorrow, increase your manpower, be optimistic about the mines, and don’t allow outsiders to approach, including township cadres!”

Tailings wastewater is mainly produced when tailings are transported to tailings ponds. At the same time, there is also washing of ore, and the wastewater generated in mining areas contains a large amount of toxic substances that cause oxidation reactions, as well as floating matter, oil pollution, chemicals and solid particles.

According to environmental protection standards, tailings wastewater must be discharged into sewage ponds and undergo strict purification before it can be discharged into rivers. However, purification facilities and equipment are very expensive and the process is complicated, requiring dedicated personnel to manage and process. In order to save costs, many mines omit this

After passing through this channel, it is discharged directly into rivers, lakes or seas.

"Dad, you are too conservative. We have people in the Environmental Protection Bureau and Forestry Bureau, so what are we afraid of?" Xiong Da couldn't think of a better way to solve the problem of wastewater, so he returned to the relationship.

"Be careful." Xiong Qiang said with a dark face, "There is a rigid indicator for applying for a green mine: no punishment within two years. If it is punished, our Qiangsheng Mine will not be selected. The one managed by your brother

Qisheng Mine has been punished twice and is no longer qualified, so you are the only one left."

"Dad, I still don't understand why we have to declare a green mine when we are so obsessed with making a fortune?"

"What do you know?!" Xiong Qiang glared at him and said, "With this halo, not only will there be financial subsidies and tax rebates, but you can also expand production. According to the internal information I have so far, the subsidy for technological transformation is based on 20%.

After the selection, the first echelon will be rewarded with 5 million yuan, and the second echelon will be rewarded with RMB 5 million.

3 million yuan, and the third tier is 1 million yuan. After that, tax refunds were given for three consecutive years. The refund ratio was 40%, the highest in our county, in the first year, and then 25% and 15% in the next two years. The refund ratio is the highest in history.

This is the first batch of discounts, and the discount amount will be reduced year by year for those who are selected later.”

This is top-secret information that Xiong Qiang obtained through government insiders.

In the afternoon, according to the instructions of the county party committee secretary and the county magistrate, Executive Deputy County Mayor Fang Youwei, together with deputy county magistrate Ye Zhijian, organized the county Land and Resources Bureau, County Finance Bureau, Taxation Bureau, Financial Bureau and other units to hold a closed meeting to discuss the green issues

After conducting in-depth research on the mine selection conditions, subsidy standards, tax concessions, loan concessions, etc., a preliminary plan was drawn up and submitted to the county magistrate and county party committee secretary for review and signature. It will be used as an attachment to the green mine construction pilot work plan and will be held the day after tomorrow.

Discussed at the county party committee standing committee.

"Sounds good." Xiong Da smiled slyly, "However, Dad, that technological transformation is very expensive. Our environmental protection, safety equipment and mining technology are not up to standard. If we really want to do it, we will probably have to invest

Tens of millions.”

"Are you stupid?! The reward money plus the tax refund money is enough." Xiong Qiang nodded his son's nose and cursed, his face changed again, and he said with a sinister smile, "Technical improvements can also be made."

Xiong Da, who knew nothing about reading, had an astonishing ability to understand the twisted thoughts. He immediately understood his father's wishful thinking and laughed non-stop.

The father and son murmured for a while, and then simply took out a bottle of champagne and toasted to a beautiful and bumper tomorrow.

On the morning of the next day, Ma Ming came to the County Environmental Protection Bureau to visit Deputy Director Chen Changqing (deputy section-level cadre).

The two have known each other for a long time. Chen Changqing came down for inspections and Ma Ming accompanied him several times. Ma Ming felt that he had a high professional level and was upright, which gave him a good impression. The key was that he supported green environmental protection and healthy industrial development, and was regarded as the best choice for bosses like Xiong Qiang.

A thorn in the side.

Chen Changqing was a little surprised that he was promoted to department head just after his probation period. He secretly admired how quickly he was promoted. The key is that his masculine and confident temperament has not changed, and he has added a bit of maturity and stability. In short, the progress is obvious.

If it weren't for the minimum five-year service requirement for township civil servants, he would have wanted to transfer Ma Ming.

Chen Changqing is in his thirties, dark and thin, and wears a pair of large black-framed glasses that almost cover half of his small face.

He politely invited Ma Ming to sit down and served him tea and water.

After Ma Ming explained his purpose, Chen Changqing said thoughtfully: "Penalty is not the purpose, it is just a means. We have not reduced the fine, but it is of no use. The company continues to go its own way."

"Then impose heavy penalties and shut down!"

Chen Changqing smiled bitterly and said: "Shut down when you say we should shut down? Where is the baton of our county? We are going all out to fight for the economy, wholeheartedly bail out enterprises and serve the development of the industry. We will not shut down easily for fear of affecting the output value and benefits.

It also involves workers’ employment issues.”

Ma Ming said sadly: "But we can't ignore the law for the sake of economic data, and even the lives and health of the people."

Chen Changqing sighed: "Anyway, the fine is just scratching the surface, and companies don't take it seriously at all, because the amount of fines in our county is very low. One trip with a truck pulling stones is enough to fine us."

To put it bluntly, the county government has determined the current situation based on the GDP-only concept.

"But they should be punished. Regarding individual cases, Qiangsheng Mining has never been punished. It is too excessive and too arrogant. Even if it is just scratching the surface, we must teach them a lesson. Director Chen, this is also a way to protect ourselves. If

If a large-scale pollution incident occurs one day, or the Ministry of Environmental Protection is brought to the attention of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the higher authorities are responsible for it, I'm afraid we will be mute and unable to tell the story of the suffering caused by eating Coptis chinensis."

What Ma Ming said made sense, and Chen Changqing nodded slowly.
