Problems frequently reflect regulatory problems
On March 5, 2018, the staff of the relevant departments of Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province found in the daily patrols that there were a large number of oil drums and tons of bags piled up along the river in Nan Zhao Village, the fishing town of the city. According to the investigation, tons of barrels (industrial waste oil) and The waste oil slag bucket totals 150 tons, the ton bag (industrial sludge) is 64 tons, and the total amount of hazardous waste is 214 tons. The hazardous waste is dumped to Xinghua City after being subcontracted by other provinces.
Similar problems of dumping solid waste and polluting the environment are not rare. At the beginning of this year, the Xuanzhou District Procuratorate of Xuancheng City, Anhui Province discovered in the course of performing its duties that some people dumped unidentified wastes along the Shuiyang River in the west bank of Liucun Chencun Village. After investigation, from November 20, 2017 to January 10, 2018, the illegal activist Zhang, Ding Mou and others dumped 88.545 tons of 'waste resin powder' belonging to hazardous waste from an environmental transportation company in Hangzhou three times. In the puddle generated by sand excavation in the west river bank.
In response to the problem of dumping hazardous waste and domestic waste across the province on the river basin or water source, on April 19, 2018, at the regular meeting of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the spokesperson Liu Youbin emphasized that the current illegal transfer and disposal of danger in China Waste incidents still occur from time to time.

In this regard, Xue Tao, Executive Dean of E20 Research Institute, told the reporter of “Daily Economic News” that the emissions of water and pollutants are relatively fixed, and it is easy to monitor the sewage outlets. However, due to the existence of easy transfer characteristics, solid waste is very difficult to supervise. Big.
'Through the closed compartment, the solid waste is dumped to a place where people are less smoked. It is difficult to be discovered in time. In terms of solid waste dumping, there is no good supervision in the world now. ' Xue Tao said that at present, it needs to be short-term. Strengthen the inspection of law enforcement personnel, mobilize the supervision of the masses, report the enthusiasm, and increase the punishment for illegal dumping.
An industry insider told the reporter of "Daily Economic News" that the dumping incidents in the solid waste area are frequent, and the root cause behind it is the interest drive. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and environmental responsibility of the emission enterprises, and cut off the interest chain from the root cause.
