Chapter 358 Mayor's inspection, river management

October 2017, 10, National Day.

On this day of national celebration, Liu Zexin, the deputy mayor in charge of environmental sanitation of Luzhou City, which belongs to Longhua County, is still busy at work. According to the itinerary planned earlier, he came to Longhua County to conduct research. Senior officials of Longhua County Accompanied by Wang Zhibo.

Their first stop was Qingshui River, known as the mother river of Longhua County.

There is almost no rubbish in the river, the river water is sparkling, and there is no foul smell. If you look closely, you can see groups of fish and shrimp playing in the water.

On the bank of the river, there are willow trees, and on the bank of the river, there are fishermen fishing leisurely from time to time.

Just this scene, people look at, there is a kind of refreshing comfort.

Liu Zexin, deputy mayor of Luzhou City, praised Wang Zhibo, saying, "Senior official Wang, your Longhua County's environmental sanitation is doing well."

"Responding to the central government's call, the treatment of black and odorous water bodies is excellent."

"Every time I come to do research, it always surprises me."

When Liu Zexin, deputy mayor of Luzhou City, came here last time, the daily processing capacity of [Bikong Household Garbage Treatment Plant] was soaring. Production capacity is also to produce more organic fertilizers, so [Bikon Household Garbage Treatment Plant] took the initiative to excavate buried garbage, excavate river garbage, and excavate river bottom silt.

Thanks to the kindness of [Bikong Household Garbage Treatment Plant], several rivers in Longhua County showed signs of revival, and the stench was not so strong.

So under the impetus of Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, the Longhua county government issued the "River Management Regulations", prohibiting residents from dumping garbage into the river at will, and prohibiting factories near the river from discharging sewage into the river at will.

In this way, several rivers in Longhua County took on a new look, and fish and shrimp appeared.

At that time, Liu Zexin, the deputy mayor of Luzhou City, came to investigate. After seeing the river environment in several counties, he was very dissatisfied until he came to Longhua County. The clear river water in Longhua County gave him a deep impression. At that time It is to praise the team of Longhua County for doing a good job.

However, the rivers in Longhua County at that time were mostly superficial.

What does that mean?

That is, the river water is clear on the surface, but due to industrial pollution, the heavy metal content in the river water seriously exceeds the standard, which in turn affects the food ecological chain in the river water.

Although some people came to fish at that time, no one dared to eat the fish they caught!
The excess of heavy metals is too serious.

Just like the Great Lakes in the United States.

Before the 70s, the Great Lakes of the United States were heavily polluted by industries surrounding the lakes.

One night in 1969, Lake Erie in Cleveland even burned directly, which directly led to the enactment of the US Clean Water Act in 1972, the first environmental protection law in human history.

But pollution is easy to control and difficult to control.

Mercury, lead, and cadmium in the silt of the Great Lakes have been seriously exceeding the standard for a long time. Because of the enrichment effect, other organisms in the lake ecology have also seriously exceeded the standard of heavy metals.

Although since the 70s, the content of these heavy metals in the fish in the lake has decreased year by year.

However, reports in 2017 claimed that mercury levels in fish in some places had rebounded, and the specific reasons were unknown.

The report also said that fish from the Great Lakes are still dangerous, and pregnant women and children are advised not to eat them, and adults are advised to eat no more than a few fish per month.

The river in Longhua County is in a similar situation. It looks clear and clean on the surface, but in fact the river water exceeds the standard for heavy metals.

...Wang Zhibo, a senior county official in Longhua County, was ashamed when he heard the compliment from the deputy mayor Liu Zexin.

"En?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin's eyes moved.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, explained, "The predecessor of [Bikon Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] was the [Bikon Household Garbage Treatment Plant] in Longhua County."

"Oh." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin suddenly realized, he remembered that this domestic waste treatment plant in Longhua County was an environmental protection enterprise that had been in the news and was praised by high-level officials.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, added next to him, "The parent company of [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] is [Chaoqun Group]."

"[Chaoqun Group], a big company! It really has a big responsibility." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin praised.

The county senior official Wang Zhibo said with emotion, "It's true!"

“[Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] has been very active since it contracted the water affairs of Longhua County. It transformed the original [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant] so that its daily sewage treatment capacity directly reached 18 tons. It also invested in the repair of old pipelines, connected the sewage pipelines of towns and villages, and flowed nearly 14 tons of sewage generated in the entire Longhua County every day to the reconstructed [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant] for treatment. It's going to be poured into a reservoir or into a river."

"The amount of this project is not small, and the investment is not small." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said with a slight expression.

"Yes!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, nodded and said, "[Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] does not only do these things, they also take the initiative to contact the factories in the county."

"Oh, what kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd? Wang Gaoguan, tell me." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin became interested, "Isn't it the production sewage? The difference between production sewage and domestic sewage is just one word. But the process is very different.”

"Mayor Liu, you are really right. This company's idea is to produce sewage. They found factories and industrial parks in the county and said that they could undertake their production sewage treatment, including industrial waste, at only their cost. I handle [-]% to [-]% of it myself." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, explained.

"What did they do? Customize sewage treatment solutions for each manufacturer? Or build a new industrial sewage treatment plant?"

"No, they added pipes to flow the wastewater from factories or industrial parks into municipal sewage pipes and directly to [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant]!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said with a strange expression.

"All factories? No distinction?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"Yes!" The county senior official Wang Zhibo nodded.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said a little angrily.

Different industrial wastewaters have different treatment processes.

Generally speaking, in a city, the pipelines of industrial sewage and domestic sewage are separated. Although it is said that during the operation process, the pipelines of domestic sewage inevitably flow into industrial sewage, but the proportion is not high, and it is within the acceptable range. Inside.

But it is a bit unreasonable to import all of them into domestic sewage pipes.

"Didn't the county government persuade and stop it?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, showed a wry smile, and said, “[Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] said it used a new technology, and assured our government that there will be no accidents. If there is environmental pollution or other violations of the law, They are willing to bear the corresponding legal responsibility and make compensation."

"The county cannot discourage the independent enthusiasm of enterprises, so..."

"So it's a compromise, right?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"Of course not. The county government later went to [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] to conduct many investigations and investigations, and found that they did have a complete domestic sewage and industrial sewage treatment process. The treated water has reached the level of recycled water and drinking water. That’s why we agreed to the standard.” Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, defended himself.

"Really?" Now the deputy mayor, Liu Zexin, became surprised.

"Yes! And [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] took the initiative to invite us to supervise them. It is also okay to arrange for water quality specialists to settle in, and it is also okay to arrange water quality detectors at the outlets to directly connect to the county's environmental protection department."

"This is a strange thing! It's the first time I heard that a company requires strict supervision of its own business." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin couldn't help but laugh.

"I think it's because they are skilled and bold! [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.] is confident, after all, it is backed by [Chaoqun Group]! But this [reliance] is not the power of power, but the power of technological strength!" Senior county official Wang Zhibo said.

The deputy mayor Liu Zexin also thought it made sense, nodded, and suddenly became interested in [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd], he asked the county senior official Wang Zhibo, "In this case, senior official Wang, take me to this company Let the company learn and learn."

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, showed a look of embarrassment.

"Is there a problem?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked in a suspicious tone.

"That's not true! But there is a [small sewage treatment station] built by [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.], why don't you take a look?" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, asked.

"[Small Sewage Treatment Station]? What is this used for?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked strangely.

"Black and smelly water!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said without thinking.

"In Longhua County, environmental protection was not strictly enforced before, industrial sewage was seriously illegally discharged, and heavy metals in the river water exceeded the standard. Now that the country's "New Environmental Protection Law" has come out, factories dare not go too far as before, but the problem of water bodies is It was left behind, and this [small sewage treatment station] is used by Bikong Environmental Protection Company to deal with this problem.” said Wang Zhibo, a senior county official.

"Oh, is this requested by the county government?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that the cost of treating black and odorous water bodies is not low, and Longhua County's finances are relatively tight, so... this was initiated by [Bikong Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd.], and the county government only gave some support." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said with a smile.

"Play sloppy with me, Lao Wang, the party cadres don't care about this! Just tell me, how much did the county government spend on this? How effective is it?"

"The effect is definitely not good. After testing, the heavy metal content in several rivers in Longhua County has dropped significantly. As long as the source of input is controlled, it will definitely not be a problem for the rivers in Longhua County to restore their previous ecological environment." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said loudly.

"What about the cost? How much did the county government invest?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"Eighty thousand... um, no, one hundred thousand, about one hundred thousand." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, had no choice but to reply in a low voice.

"What?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said in a horrified tone. He took a deep look at Wang Zhibo and said excitedly, "Take me to this processing station."

"Okay, Mayor Liu, come this way!" The county senior official Wang Zhibo hurriedly led the way.

Half an hour later, they took a car to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River in Longhua County, which is also the most polluted location.

The roar of the water pump kept ringing.

When Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin got out of the car, he saw a building with an area of ​​less than [-] square meters, with the words [Qingshui River Sewage Treatment Station] written on it.

The pipe of the water pump is connected to the river, and the water is continuously pumped out and flows into the sewage treatment station. After some process, the white water flows out of another pipe of the sewage treatment station and flows back into the Qingshui River. .

"Is this using modern molecular membrane filtration technology?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"..." After thinking about it, the senior county official Wang Zhibo still said, "In fact, there are only a few trees planted inside."

"Ah?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin's mouth was as big as a duck's egg, and he didn't have the calm demeanor of a cadre at all.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, snickered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface. He said seriously, "Mayor Liu, I heard Mr. Wang from Bikong Company say that this is their parent company - [Super Group] Biological Laboratory Research and Breeding The new product that comes out has the ability to enrich heavy metals, which is more than a hundred times stronger than water hyacinth lotus!"

"It is on this basis that they created a new process for biological treatment of sewage."

"One hundred times? Senior officer Wang, you lied to me, right?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said in disbelief.

"It's absolutely true!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said with certainty, "There is only a tree inside. After the river water was pumped in, the heavy metals were absorbed by the roots of the tree, and then it was discharged directly. Examined, the metal content is almost negligible."

"The development of biotechnology is really changing with each passing day!" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said with great emotion after confirming the real situation.

"Yes!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, also echoed, "Mayor Liu, do you want to go to [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] for inspection?"

The deputy mayor, Liu Zexin, naturally went happily. At this time, there was an idea brewing in his heart.

Forty minutes later.

They came to [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant] which was acquired by [Blue Sky Environmental Protection Business Development Co., Ltd].

Wang Hang, the general manager of the company, has been waiting here for a long time after receiving the instruction.

Before this, Wang Hang, as the factory director of [Bikong Household Garbage Treatment Plant], had dealt with Liu Zexin, the deputy mayor in charge of environmental sanitation many times.

The two are no strangers!

As soon as we met, Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said to Wang Hang in a bad tone, "Okay, Manager Wang, you have hidden this good thing, and don't let me know!"

Wang Hang quickly screamed, "How dare you, Mayor Liu! This is also a technology developed by the group. It has only been used for a few months, and it is still in the trial operation stage!"

"Anyway, I remember you, Mr. Wang! You have to give me a satisfactory answer today." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin had never spoken to Wang Hang in such a [friendly] tone before, and the purpose was not to bring them closer In fact, it is not that Wang Hang has a greater use value.

Wang Hang also knew it well, and accompanied the acting, "Yes, yes, it will definitely satisfy you."

Then the deputy mayor Liu Zexin said, "Then, Mr. Wang, tell me about your situation."

"Okay, Mayor Liu!" Wang Hang glanced at the county official calmly, and then said.
