Chapter 115: Stephen is here
After the meeting, Yang Zaixin thought that the international friends would meet with them to enhance their sense of urgency in their work, but the international friends did not do so, perhaps because of the different ways of working with each other.
Through several layers of communication, the people in the township have vague ideas about international friends, Yang Zaixin feels that it is not very right, but thinking that the other party is a professional doctor, and the grade of dealing with the county is too low, it may be normal to not meet with the people in the township.
Before returning to Huairen Town, he called Tian Xiaowei first, and learned that he could not return to the county for the time being, so Yang Zaixin returned to Huairen Town. When I went to the town, I communicated with Zhang Jiguang and other major town leaders to convey the work of disposing of slag in the county. What kind of work to be done and what affairs to be prepared on the township side will have to wait for further notice from the county.
There are currently five piles of slag in Huairen Town, except for Gaocun, there are no other safety hazards for the time being, and there is no way to stop the pollution of the environment.
Landfilling or cover-up may be the best way to dispose of it, but the contamination of groundwater still exists and cannot be eliminated. Even if there is no mining, mines hidden deep in the ground will pollute the groundwater, but only to a certain extent.
At present, in addition to the daily work, a relatively important task is the work of creating a harmonious and beautiful family for the spiritual civilization of the whole county, so that the cadres can devote greater energy.
There are complainers and supporters of this work, but the cadres involved in the work do not dare to slack off and be casual. The county clearly stipulates that if the work is done well, there will be direct rewards, otherwise, there will be more serious punishments, because those who have signed a letter of responsibility will report the progress of the work every week, evaluate the system and report the results of the work.
The result of the report work is a rather powerful move, and the top leaders of townships, towns, and units are afraid of this thing. Being notified once can be forgiven, and being notified many times, you can imagine what the consequences are.
It is certain that they will be interviewed and admonished, and the most important thing is what the principal leaders of the county will think of such a top leader in a township or township? It is only a matter of time before he is dismissed from his post.
Yang Zaixin focuses on the progress of Stephen's team's work, and calls every day to ask about the situation in other towns and villages, which is why he is keen to prepare for slag disposal.
Zhang Tongjun has returned to the county from the city, Yang Zaixin wanted to meet the boss and listen to the boss's guidance on the disposal of this slag, but Zhang Tongjun said that he was not in a hurry to discuss it first, and he wanted to see the conclusions of international friends.
As for the disposal of slag, it is the provincial level that is in line with international friends, and the counties and townships are just implementing.
On this day, Stephen and the members of the regiment came to Huairen Town in the morning, accompanied by the deputy county magistrate Tian Maoping. After arriving in the town, Yang Zaixin naturally gave enough respect to this group of people.
First arrange Stephen's team to the conference room to introduce the current slag situation in Huairen Town, and the current protection and measures for slag in the township.
Then, on behalf of their team, Stephen spoke about environmental pollution and the hazards of these slags. Whether the interpreter said anything was in line with Stephen's own meaning, the attendees could not tell. Yang Zaixin's self-knowledge of English is still lacking, especially speaking and listening, which is indeed not enough to have a real-time conversation with Stephen and others.
But he was also listening attentively, and what Stephen said was only vaguely understood. Many words, presumably technical words, were not understood at all, and the translator also paused while working, presumably guessing what Stephen was expressing.
What Stephen said is basically the same as what the county conveyed, the harm of environmental damage, and the huge and long-term impact on people's health.
These things sound like they hit people's hearts and minds, and they can reconstruct people's views on right and wrong. Yang Zaixin believes that if it weren't for the slight flaws in the translation, Stephen himself would have made everyone's speech more appealing and persuasive, and brainwashing would be no problem.
At the end of the speech, Yang Zaixin said a few words on behalf of Huairen Town, Yang Zaixin said, "Thank you very much Dr. Stephen and his team for their tireless efforts to come to Huairen Town and make unremitting efforts for environmental issues, and express deep respect for international friends who care for the earth and care for the survival of ordinary people."
Huairen Zhenken will cooperate with Dr. Stephen and his team to provide the necessary guarantee and efforts for their work to advance. ”
didn't say much, just expressed the attitude of Huairen Town, with the deputy county magistrate Tian Maoping here, it is enough to understand the meaning of the town.
Immediately, Stephen and the others first chose Tongban Village, where there is a large slag pit. The slag is dumped down from the top of the hill and rolled down into a natural pit surrounded by three hillsides. In terms of potential safety hazards, the slag here basically does not exist, but in terms of environmental pollution, especially for groundwater, it must be more serious.
After arriving at the scene, Stephen and others took pictures of the slag, and then some members took samples from different points in the slag pit and put them into bags. Yang Zaixin took a closer look and saw that these people had at least 30 samples, although each one was not much, but this sampling was directly related to environmental pollution?
Yang Zaixin didn't ask Dr. Stephen directly, walked up to Tian Maoping, and said in a suppressed voice, "Tian County, do these international friends take samples from every slag pit?"
"Yes. Tian Maoping said, "They need to test the slag for the harmful components in it, so that they can do the next step of the disposal work." Tian Maoping's explanation, deputy county magistrate, is indeed reasonable and logical.
"Tian County, where did they get the funds for their work? ”
"It is said that this kind of international team has many sources of funding, the most important of which is the people who care for the environment, they donate a very large amount of funds, and have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and funds in the disposal of the international environment, and have achieved very good results. The province also heard that Stephen's team came to our country for inspection, so they were able to come to Changping County. ”
"And for that reason, then we have to do a good job of cooperating. Listening to what Tian Maoping, deputy county magistrate, Yang Zaixin also felt that it was necessary to solve this problem. Looking at the large pile of slag in front of him, it is estimated that the amount of one million tons will not be less, and how should such a volume be disposed of?
In addition to Gao Village, Stephen's team went to the four piled up slag reservoirs in Huairen Town, took samples, took pictures, and briefly commented on them, and then returned to the town. Yang Zaixin thought that the other party would make some suggestions to the town, especially suggestions for eliminating hidden dangers and improving pollution, but they didn't say anything, and then left, supposedly to rush to the next township.
I called the towns that had been inspected and asked about the process of the investigation, and the reaction of Stephen's team at that time was similar to that of Huairen Township.
Yang Zaixin felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what the problem was.
