Investigation On Pollution Of River Water Losing Its Original Color "Fur Town" In Daying Town

Although it is only a small town, it is obviously more prosperous than Zaoqiang county.

Daying Town, located in the southern part of Zaoqiang County, is known as the "fur town". It has more than 10 thousand fur processing enterprises and 150 thousand employees, and is the largest in China.

Processing base and sales center.

Last year, the "big camp fur" was successfully awarded the title of national geographical indication protection product.

The annual sales of the fur and leather products in this small town are as high as 20 billion 400 million yuan RMB, with an annual export volume of US $more than 700 million.

In an interview with reporters in Daying Town, reporters found that behind the boom, the local river was "fading" and black brown sewage was constantly rolling out.

A person familiar with the fur industry told reporters that the fur, culturing, tanning and dyeing enterprises of Daying Town will produce a lot of waste water, especially tanning and nitriding. It is necessary to put fur into containers and add chemicals such as neutral salt, acid, chrome tanning agent and water to mix and produce. However, after production, there are a lot of toxic substances, which are often discharged directly without treatment, causing great pollution to groundwater.

The river loses its original color.

When entering the Daying Town, a dry drains paralleled the highway.

Local people told the "daily economic news" reporter, this is the East and west across the Daying Town "camp South Main Canal".

Today, the "Ying Nan main canal" has disappeared after entering the Daying Town. The brown yellow soil is full of the "camp South Main Canal". Surrounded by many large excavators and bulldozers, a huge cement pipeline is lying in the middle of the main canal.

A local resident told the daily economic news reporter that the sewage from the canal could be seen before. Now it has been dug up and buried on the pipe. It seems that sewage can flow through the pipeline.

A staff member of the government of Daying Town also confirmed this to reporters, which indicated that the purpose of burying pipes was to reduce the leakage of sewage.

In the area where the construction was not completed, black sewage could still be seen in the canal, and some fur and bits were scattered along the ditch.

"In the front of the town's rivers and drains, the residents can still swim. Now, except flies, mosquitoes, even grass is not long."

The residents said so.

During the interview in Daying Town, they also found that almost all the rivers that could be seen lost their original color.

A local familiar

People in the industry said to reporters that the fur, culturing, tanning and dyeing enterprises of Daying Town will produce a lot of waste water, especially tanning and nitriding. It is necessary to put fur into containers and add chemicals such as neutral salt, acid, chrome tanning agent and water to mix them. But after production, there are a lot of toxic substances, which are often directly discharged without treatment, causing great pollution to groundwater.

Farmers do not drink local water.

In order to completely solve the environmental pollution caused by fur processing, Daying Town invested 75 million yuan in 2003, and built a sewage treatment plant dealing with 30 thousand tons of industrial and domestic sewage on June 2008. It was put into operation in June 2008, and the effluent discharge standard is the two level of the national comprehensive discharge standard for sewage.

But over the past ten years, why does the big Ying Town appear today?

A local resident told the daily economic news reporter that the name of the sewage treatment plant was centralized treatment of sewage, but it did not directly deal with it.

These problems were reported in the media as early as last year.

Last year, "China environmental observation" reported that in the sewage treatment plant of the large sewage treatment plant, only half of the plants in the biochemical treatment section of the sewage treatment plant were found to be running. The added chemicals were placed in the corner of the pharmacy workshop, and the packaging of the pharmaceutical packaging was in tatters, and the drugs were old and yellowed.

On the above issues, the Zaoqiang county official responded that "the large sewage treatment plant is a state-controlled enterprise, which is monitored online by the provincial and municipal on-line. Every two hours automatically takes data on the import and export of sewage. The data are stored and checked by the provincial environmental protection department's monitoring platform, and there is no phenomenon of stealing straight row of untreated sewage water. The real-time monitoring data can be queried by the national urban sewage treatment management information system."

in addition

The government also stressed that further efforts were being made to check the strength of tanning and tanning enterprises, to shut down enterprises that failed to meet the standards, and to thoroughly clean and close small tanning households.

According to the data released by the provincial and municipal enterprises' self testing information release platform, the sewage discharge monitoring of Zaoqiang County Dali sewage treatment plant shows that the monitoring value of ammonia nitrogen is 35.68, the standard is 5, exceeding the standard 6.14 times, and the chemical oxygen demand monitoring value 69.34. is 50, exceeding the standard 0.39 times in April 17, 2015. 13 hours data show that the ammonia nitrogen monitoring value is 6.14.

In April 21st, 6 hours data showed that the monitoring value of ammonia nitrogen was 35.80, while the standard was 5, exceeding the standard 6.16 times.

The COD monitoring value is 79.74, while the standard is 50, exceeding the standard 0.59 times.

In June last year, the Hebei provincial Environmental Protection Department announced that the second concentrated actions of "sword cutting pollution" showed that 10 enterprises had excessive emission problems. Zaoqiang County Daying sewage treatment plant, Dongguang County sewage treatment plant and Baoding Xiyuan sewage treatment plant were listed.

When reporters were investigating in Zaoqiang, some locals told reporters that Daying Town was famous for its fur, and the local people were rich. Some people married their daughters to give their dowry. But not all of them were willing to marry because the pollution there had affected the lives of the local people.

A farmer near Daying Town told reporters, "the big camp is polluting the groundwater. We drink water and do not drink the water from the big Ying Town. They drink water from the five or six miles outside."

Although the fur industry has polluted the local environment, many people are unwilling to give up.

"The locals basically do not go out to work, they do fur processing, earn 3000 yuan a month, which is better than leaving home to work, so the people around the camp are making money by fur business to solve many jobs."

A local villager said.

Zaoqiang county government work report shows that in 2015, the main target is GDP growth of around 8%, total revenue growth of more than 15%, and strive to break through 1 billion 150 million yuan, more than doubled in 2012, of which fur industry should be bigger and stronger, and the annual industrial tax to achieve 400 million yuan.
