Fangchenggang mass death of fish upstream reservoir illegal exploitation of rare earth

Late July to early August continuous rain, the small peak upstream of the reservoir into the illegal exploitation of rare earth wastewater reservoir, causing serious pollution of the reservoir is caused fish cage culture in reservoirs sudden mass death. The Lung Fu Fangchenggang in Guangxi rural small peak reservoir is Fangchenggang source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands.

Guangxi Fangchenggang City-City small peak reservoir cage farmers Chenshi Wu said, the morning of August 1, and as usual he came home in the reservoir of the growth of the fish cages view and found that the color of the water around the cage into a meter White, feed the fish when the fish are not grazing, irritability, and the emergence of fewer deaths.

"I thought it was a lack of oxygen, oxygen immediately to the fish, but not close to the fish aerator, scurrying around, and even jump out cages." Chenshi Wu said he immediately reported to the relevant departments, the night, anti-urban environmental protection, animal husbandry and aquaculture other departments came to the scene view the situation, and the next morning on the water and fish samples for testing. The next few days, Chenshi Wu and the other two reservoirs middle of farmers over 30 cages in the tens of thousands of tail grass carp, carp, tilapia, have died.

"Here we are far from a rare earth mine, we suspect that is where the effluent discharged from the poisoned our fish." Chenshi Wu said he had to rare earth mining area and found that flow out of the sewage color is beige, and These sewage without any treatment, discharged directly into canals and reservoirs connected.

For reasons of dead fish, Fangchenggang-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau responded that the sampling inspection by experts, preliminary determination small peak reservoir with dead fish incident was caused due to the outbreak of fish disease disaster events. The main reason is the grass carp hemorrhage induced by long-term feeding high-protein feed, or other low-quality feed, and the recent climate change causes such as the water temperature is too high.

When a reporter asked whether the incidence of fish associated with water pollution, the anti-urban fisheries technology extension Zhanfuzhanchang Lingzong Fu said, according to the current understanding of the situation, there is no way to determine whether the fish deaths related to water pollution. Anti-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the dead fish samples are sent to a more authoritative body for testing.

"Fangchenggang municipal environmental protection department of the reservoir of water for a number of sampling and monitoring, water quality data show a small peak various indicators have reached the surface water environmental quality class III standards, that water quality is not contaminated." Fangchenggang City urban environment Protection Bureau deputy director Jiang Wenwei said.

However, the reporter in Fangchenggang City Environmental Protection Bureau on August 12 a "small peak reservoir dead fish cages Investigation Report" to see such a statement: After investigation, the small peak around the reservoir without industrial and mining enterprises, mainly small peak reservoir pollution Field crops set a big house illegal exploitation of rare earth dens. The illegal exploitation dens disorderly discharge untreated wastewater directly into the small peak reservoir through canals, affecting small peak reservoir water quality.

For the conclusion of the fish died, farmers who do not agree. Farmers Chen said: "that is the grass carp hemorrhage, but why cages tilapia and carp also died of it? And we have given more than 2 pounds of elephant grass carp are put in long-term feeding with high protein feed or feed poor argument is not true. "

Under the guidance of the villagers, the reporter found hidden in the mountains of illegal rare earth mining sites. A creek next to the mining sites Bangshui built, the floor is marked with oxalic acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonium bicarbonate and other words of plastic bags.

"This place is flowing out of the water toxic, had previously put the fish ponds near the poisoned cattle drank the water, immediately sick." Pingmou nearby villagers told reporters that the illegal mining sites in existence for nearly three years, law enforcement agencies to combat several times, but they are re-started a few months later.

"Every time I arrived at the scene, all the staff are gone, and we can only be destroyed on-site facilities and so far, we do not know who is the organizer of the illegal mining of rare earths and the persons responsible." Fangchenggang City Land Resources Bureau Fangcheng Branch monitors battalion said exposing light vibration.
