" Dawan villagers called to say we have a lot of dead fish near the intake point , the water may be polluted . " at 11:40 on February 26 , Lee Cheng Taishan Township Water Co., Doosan water plant director Chan Hung is the cafeteria to eat , water Water Division Chenke Zhang suddenly received a phone , and quickly ran down the bowl to the water . Chan Hung get back on the water tool , water points and Chenke Zhang went to check together, the results really found a lot of dead fish . A large number of dead fish near the intake point bonus for the first time allow Chan started emergency procedures , but also to fight the town government for the first time launched a public emergency plans . Then the officers concerned were traceable investigation found the cause of dead fish is a deep cove near someone stealing rare earth mine wastewater pollution , which opened a hideout deep in illegal mining of gold Cloudy Hill points .

Found : a large number of dead fish ponds near water points

Doosan water plant located near water points Dawan a total of three , red and Chenke Zhang Chan from downstream to upstream water were examined one by one . In the first water point , the water is clear , no dead fish ; near the second water intake point is still okay , there are a few small fish floating in the water ; water on to the third point ( Lin Chau water points ) near the surface of the water has a lot of floating fish.

"There seventy-eight big carp floating in there , already dying, we realized that the water might be contaminated. "With the knowledge and years of work experience before training learned , Chan Hung and water quality are chief judge is likely to be near the water by the chemical contamination. "Because no factories nearby , but also the clear water , which can be judged not industrial pollution ; while no obvious smell of water , which can not determine pesticide contamination ; That is the most likely chemical contamination. "

With this initial judgment, Chan Hung immediately made ​​a report to the General Manager . " Companies instruct us to start immediately " sudden emergency water exception handler "and communicate the information to fight Town People's Government and the higher functions. " The day before yesterday morning, when Chan Hung accept the Southern reporter , still appears to be a lingering fear , saying it was the work of 15 years, he participated in the first real response to emergency treatment . According water program , immediately stop the fighting landscape plant water supply, while the maintenance team immediately cut off the water intake point into the water gate to prevent contaminated water and then into the water .

According to reporters at the scene observed the lotus Chau water points

Tour has two reservoirs, approximately two kilometers up the reservoir pool is sound , there is a water source of this water point . According to an EPA analysis Taishan Fortunately, upstream of the intake point has two reservoirs , which the fish has become a test the water . "If not for the dead fish , it may not be so quick discovery of water is polluted, then the consequences could be much more serious . " The analysts .

Emergency : party secretary instructed Paul drinking water

13:30 , in charge of food safety Doosan town Party committee member , vice mayor Chen Chen also received the Friends of the red phone , immediately to the principal leaders of the cases were reported .

The first step to stop fighting for Doosan water landscape plants , water plants to coordinate farms Doosan water supply. To solve the problem because of the low water pressure rise can not be supplied in Weizhen set up 18 water points , convenient high-rise residential water . Stop Grand Bay , in the ceremony , West Joe Lin Chau in three village water river water , the villagers use well water , and each village wells for testing , while arrangements for fire trucks to these areas regularly offers living water. Meanwhile , the town immediately convene the relevant organizational committee secretary, director of meetings , reporting pollution and treatment measures requiring prompt notification committee to explain the situation to the masses , to appease the masses anxiety.

Meanwhile, the water company 's technical staff and technical personnel department of environmental protection have also rushed to the scene , sampling and early detection . Preliminary test results show that the scene of a serious water acidity is too large , PH value of only 3.8 . The site 's environmental department technicians in town to take some immediate guidance targeted measures : with lime to neutralize the acidity of the water , but from the reservoir water to dilute and water samples sent to the province for further testing. " After the detection of ministries and agencies tell us that there is no detectable heavy metals exceeded , let us rest assured that a lot. " Chan Hung told reporters that he is most worried about is excessive heavy metals . According to testing, the contaminated water site mainly relatively high value of ammonia and chloride .

Tracing : Deep col found illegal mining point

黄焕辉is Taishan EPA chief engineer , received the day of the incident reflects the situation after the fight town , the first time arrived at the scene led to guide the town government for processing. He recalls, arrived at the scene to guide the town government on the scene after the initial treatment , he was looking upstream along the water point sources of pollution . " According to the introduction of local people , no factories nearby , we suspect that the situation exists in the upstream mining steal somewhere . Later verify this idea . "

Huang Huanhui water drains along the way up , carefully observe the changes , and finally found the source of a foot of water to another . " Water is supposed to flow from the reservoir over there , but on the other side , I have found over the water , so they go along that water , until you come to a deep col . " There, Huang Huanhui found the answer. Appeared in front of him was a col was hollowed out in the middle is linked to wastewater pond , the water in the pool is cloudy , but also exudes a lot of ammonia odor. Years of experience told him that there is an illegal mining sites , but already people to an empty house . At this point , is 17:30 , that he has gone three hours , where straight-line distance from the intake point about 2 km . Huang Huanhui backtrack along the water point, when again the villagers know the location of illegal mining sites from the villagers say that the villagers are usually rarely go to that remote place, just after the time of the evening will see if there have lighting. Later, land, public security departments to the scene after a search , found a large number of rare earth mining equipment and medicines used , determine the basic point is the illegal exploitation of rare earth mining .

Scene: the whole mountain was full drill hole

The day before yesterday at noon , under the guidance of relevant personnel fighting the town , the reporter drove to the mining sites . Reporter along a new mountain to go inside , about 7 km before reaching the destination. According to the staff , this road is opened to steal mine who previously did not. "On this road project amount to at least two or three months , which we estimate at least six months or more of mining . " go along the mountain road , over two hills , only to a mountain hillside , reporters noticed that the mountainside of the mountain there are many perforations , neatly hillside body and health .

Go inside , one has no vegetation appeared in front of the open col . Reporter car, an odor of fertilizer nostrils . There are several high platform on the ride over the left bamboo shack on a low platform and a shed some inside two big pot stove , indicating that a lot of people here have had to work to eat .

" As of the day before yesterday with reporters, workers have dug up from the site of more than 400 bags of ammonium bicarbonate or about 20,000 pounds .

Along the mountain top, there are clouds of plastic pipe has been laid to the summit, and on top of the hill there is a large pond . "As far as we know , these people ( who steal Mining ) is through the impact of drilling in the mountains and along the foot after punching holes in the hill injecting chemicals , rare earth will flow from the foot of the hole . This method of rare earth mining excavation of the mountain than the old way more dangerous , mountain perfused whole body is highly corrosive chemicals , rare earth riddled flowing from the mountain , the interior becomes sloppy , can easily cause landslides and mountain collapse disaster . " A land department staff told reporters that the situation in this way stealing rare thing happened in the first fight town.

Progress : landscape plants have been fighting to restore water

According to the official notification bucket town government , after discovering the illegal mining sites , the town and the various functional departments have fully done the relevant measures.

Included in the illegal mining site storage dam , the mountain scene exudate retention and adding lime neutralization treatment ; while in the end the king of the foot of the valley dams , conducted in two stages and processes ; addition, release on Water red channel, Doosan dilution water plant water intake upstream of the water body. The water company has also strengthened the relevant section of river water quality monitoring . At 15:30 on February 28 , the monitoring results show that the intake of drinking water sources to achieve water quality standards , decided to restore the water supply plant Doosan day from 21:30 to Doosan and water .

Case: the case is under intense investigation

What people can open up a seven kilometers into the mountain in such a barren and can in rare earth ore mined inside it ? Reporters interview process, a number of government departments have said , the case must have someone with mining exploration and technical knowledge , but still might have to help the locals . After the incident the public security organs have been on file for investigation , and from the scene seized a large quantity of oxalic acid and other chemicals used in the mining of rare earth and generators and other equipment. According to reliable sources confirmed that the public security organs according to the clues have mastered the situation part of the suspect object , and captured some of the suspects.

Yesterday afternoon , the reporter on the case to Taishan City Public Security Bureau to understand the situation , the council , a staff member told reporters that the case merits a major , city leaders have attached great importance to Municipal Public Security Bureau has dispatched elite police full investigation. As the latest progress of the case , the officer said indeed already have clues , but still in investigation stage, to disclose the specific situation .

Reporter yesterday learned from Taishan City Environmental Protection Bureau , the current council has been invited to the identification of bodies from the province , ready to steal the environmental damage caused by mining mining sites were identified and assessed, but the assessment of the environmental damage takes a long time , is expected to take two months to complete. Taishan City Land Resources Bureau also said it had requested to the scene to conduct parent bodies to monitor and assess damage to steal mining , and with the public security organs do related work .

1 , long-term illegal mining , actually undetected ? Response: The location is too remote , inspections found no

Point for the existence of illegal mining , Taishan City Land Bureau law enforcement monitoring unit , an official said, after routine inspections of the bucket brigade and the town 's land and have not found the mining sites , mainly that place is too remote . And for people concerned about the land department know where there are problems of rare earths , which represents the Department of Homeland Taishan no rare earth mine exploration technology , nor understand the situation mineral distribution , and therefore did not know there had also rare earth mine.

2 , water intake point safety , how to ensure that ? Water from farms to Doosan

The discovery of contaminated water points , one is from the scene to see the location of water points far from the reservoir , the second is the water drains are open, easily contaminated . In this regard , Doosan town Party committee member , deputy mayor said , have been proposed corrective recommendations to the water company . First, change the water supply as soon as Doosan , from farms to supply Doosan ; Second, under the current water supply can not plow , the reservoir will be moved to the water points and water drainage pipe to seal or increase protective measures. Doosan water plant director Chan Hung also told reporters that the current water plant project has been launched farms , but also the water from farms according to Doosan after plans to phase out the use of several water points Doosan . For the intake point shift , he will also actively reflect to superiors.

Why such a long-lost dead fish phenomenon of illegal mining ?

Under normal circumstances the mining point of water does not flow water points

Situation from the point of view of mining , mining has been carried out for some time, but the situation was not dead fish had happened , what is the reason? Recently, Taishan City Environmental Protection Bureau , told reporters the chief engineer Huang Huanhui analysis of this strange phenomenon .

First of all, is the point itself is not in the mining Lin Chau River system water points are located, but there is a ravine and Lin Chau river can be connected , and at the point where mining is col, low-lying , so usually do not sewage pit Lin Chau river flowing water points . Before google map Huang Huanhui told reporters that the water upstream of the pig Soft Fleece Tam Reservoir , usually have only one Lin Chau canals to drain water points , and flood control gates are closed , so there is no water intrusion Lin Chau mining point of connection to the situation. And just a few days before the incident , the upstream reservoir just had a flood gate , lotus Chau river appeared back, with the result that water, sewage and water mining sites appeared intersection points , followed by sewage flowing into the river Lin Chau .

"If not flood gate , may not appear canal water back, the case of dead fish will not happen , it will not find this to steal mining sites . " Huanghuan Hui said that from the whole situation, the dead fish incident was an accident, because of this incident found the illegal mining , so to avoid the larger, more severe pollution incidents . " If you have not found the summer, plus the upstream flood storm struck , there will be a lot more drugs and sewage into rivers and mining point of water points , the consequences could be disastrous. "

It has been stolen near the village selling rare mud

June 2013 , there Dawan villagers to the media to reflect , rare earth -rich land belonging to the village is allocated to the punch Trichosanthis town , followed by local villagers to dig ponds in the name be "illegal dredging " profit more than 90 million yuan . Villagers said a man named " lamps to " hill located next to the bucket Dawan Town , Dawan had always belonged . In 1992, the exploration of the town where the red Trichosanthis found that rare earth mine , so he attempted to mining, large bay of the villagers were later found to stop , and then even after the fighting and punching Town Homeland negotiate terms Trichosanthis town , but has not properly resolved, it will hold down. In 1998 , the land was allocated to the punch Trichosanthis town , after some villagers rushed Trichosanthis aspects wantonly stealing rare mud.

The event once aroused the attention of Taishan City Land Department , Department of Homeland two towns have also been investigated and therefore coordination . The reporter inquiries Baidu map found this place just happened to steal mining village is also located in Grand Bay , and also the place where the transfer punch Trichosanthis , and " lamps to " very close , less than two kilometers .

Reporters from Jiangyin City Inspection and Quarantine Bureau , in 2013 , the export of rare earth products Jiangyin amount of $ 24.3 million , down 34%. However, the batch weight has increased by 48% and 22% , the growth rate hit a new high of nearly three years , the overall performance of the amount or price .

Rare product is called industrial monosodium glutamate or industrial vitamins, is the development of high-tech strategic elements , very versatile , mainly for optical glass, phosphor materials , magnetic materials, electronic materials. Manufacturing energy saving lamps that people use every day , cameras, televisions are inseparable from the rare earths. In addition , rare earth can also be used to automobile exhaust catalysts and sulfur medical gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging .

Jiangyin export of 22 rare species, mainly yttrium oxide , neodymium oxide , etc. , are mainly exported to the Netherlands , South Korea, the United States more than 10 countries or regions. 2013 , prices fell by rare earth products is the result of many factors , the most important is the pressure from the world's rare earth supply diversification .

According to reports , in recent years , as China's tightening control of rare earth exports and production , overseas production of rare earth can be quickly restored and fully developed , the international rare earth market gradually reduce dependence on Chinese rare earths . Some countries in the past imports of rare earths from the country , in addition to diversify sources of rare earth imports , it also actively develop alternative materials and recycling technologies to reduce the amount of rare earths . In addition , rare earth processing companies just need enough excess capacity is also an important factor in falling prices . Such as electric vehicles because of immature technology , the demand is much lower than expected, as wind power and demand for rare earth phosphors demand for large enterprises also have seen a sharp decline.
