Chapter 246: Exclusive Secret Report
Seeing the words Tianyang Chemical, Chen Dong and He Sen looked at each other and realized that the weight of this report was really not light!
The reason is very simple, this company can be regarded as one of the city's leaders, relying on the production and sales of coal chemical products for many years, firmly occupying the top few positions in the tax list, and it is definitely a star enterprise of Tianyang.
If such a company really has illegal pollutant discharge, it will definitely be a big scandal - how does the Tianyang environmental protection department supervise it? Is there something behind it?
With such doubts, Chen Dong began to flip through the materials.
As he flipped it, Yang Mingwei began to narrate: "At the beginning, when I received the report, my reaction was similar to yours. Tianyang Chemical has always been an environmental protection benchmark unit in the city, how can it be illegal to discharge pollutants?
"But after on-the-spot investigation and witnessing, I found out how dirty and dirty it is behind the glamour on the surface!"
As he spoke, Chen Dong saw a few photos in the materials. In the picture, several men in uniforms printed with the word Tianyang Chemical are connecting a huge pipe to the sewer mouth, and the other end of the pipe is directly connected to the sewage treatment tank!
This scene took place at night, and although it was difficult to see people's faces in the dim light, it was obvious what such a battle was for.
"Tianyang Chemical has built a complete sewage treatment equipment, and if the process of graded treatment is strictly followed, it can of course meet the discharge standards in the end, which is why they can pass the inspection of the Environmental Protection Bureau every year. ”
Yang Mingwei introduced: "But you have also seen that these people actually took the pipe out of the first-class sewage pool and discharged it directly into the city's sewer pipe!"
Flipping back, Chen Dong saw more detailed information. This turned out to be a sewage sampling and analysis report, and the data showed that the heavy metals and harmful components in the water samples seriously exceeded the standard, and some parameters even exceeded the legal value by hundreds of thousands of times!
"This is the result of my informant's attempt to take samples from a first-class cesspool and then find a professional chemical laboratory to analyze them. I asked the experts, such sewage is discharged directly into the city's sewage pipe network, which not only has the potential to cause irreversible pollution of groundwater and soil, but also ultimately damages the quality of surface water!
"The purification of urban sewage is not enough to degrade these harmful components, and these will not even be covered in the inspection indicators, which is why Tianyang Chemical can be so bold and go unpunished for so long!"
Speaking of this, Yang Mingwei shook his head bitterly and said: "It is no exaggeration to say that Tianyang Chemical has indeed saved a lot of costs by doing this, but it is all the citizens of Tianyang who pay for it! Because we all know that the purified urban sewage is eventually discharged to the surface river, and the water in the river happens to be our tap water source!"
When it comes to harm, Chen Dong and He Sen both look solemn. As media people, they instinctively feel angry at this kind of unreasonable thing.
Of course, in addition to the anger, they were more excited - if anyone could make this scandal public, he would be a hero who saved all the citizens!
In the face of the ugly phenomenon, Yang Mingwei also seemed indignant: "Generally speaking, my handling of clues is limited to figuring out what is going on, but this kind of fact is too bad, I can't help it, I still arranged for someone to investigate in depth, but I didn't expect that there would be more significant discoveries!"
After flipping through the materials, Chen Dong and He Sen both began to think about how to report, but they didn't expect the other party to have a fierce news, and they both raised their heads in surprise.
The largest chemical companies are already discharging sewage illegally, but what could be more significant?
Yang Mingwei continued unhurriedly: "When we collected evidence, we happened to be in time for a routine inspection by the Environmental Protection Bureau. The inspection was carried out at night, ostensibly as a surprise operation, but just an hour before the inspection team was about to arrive at the Tianyang Chemical Plant, they actually 'happened' to stop the illegal sewage discharge and dealt with the scene without a trace!"
"So, did they get the news? The Environmental Protection Bureau has their eyeliner?" He Sen blurted out.
Yang Mingwei shrugged: "I don't know about this, with my ability, it is impossible to find out to other people's environmental protection bureaus." However, I have heard some rumors that Tianyang Chemical will send people to some leaders of the Environmental Protection Bureau every year to 'report on the work', and what exactly is reported, hehe, you can experience it for yourself!"
Although the words are ambiguous, there is no doubt that this points to malfeasance in the functional department, and possibly even corruption!
Think about it, how can such rampant illegal sewage discharge last if there is no protective umbrella on it?
It seems that this clue is really valuable, not only to expose the illegal chaos that endangers the health of the city's residents, but also to dig deep into the root cause, find out the initiator, and promote the discipline and rectification of the environmental protection department!
No wonder President Lu said that this is a fierce piece of material that is comparable to Ma Fei's work today!
Chen Dong couldn't help but sigh secretly: Wouldn't it be a bit too hasty to give such a fierce material to He Sen to do? If you want to help him, you won't be so cheap!
Chen Dong didn't have any idea about Lu Yiming's intentions, and the matter had come to this point, he could only tell He Sen: "Brother, this is a little bit of heart that the president specially explained to you, I hope you will play well and don't live up to his expectations!"
He Sen nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, director, I will definitely do a solid job of this manuscript, and I will not disappoint the president and you!"
In his heart, he was cheering loudly: Okay! Damn Luo Zhongxun, didn't you let Lao Tzu be an investigative reporter? I think Lao Tzu has no ability and can't write any big drafts? Lao Tzu will write it to you, and when the time comes, see if you dare to snub me!
Yang Mingwei boasted on the side: "Director Chen is too worried! You have also seen my material, all aspects have been checked very clearly, Reporter He can publish the article as long as it is slightly integrated, to be honest, this is already our excess service!"
As he spoke, he emphasized: "So, I still want to say one more word - the quality of the clues is very high, and the influence of the matter is also very large, but we have a gentleman's agreement and words first, I am selling exclusive clues, I don't want to see the whole city media report in the end, and ask Director Chen and Reporter He to cooperate!"
He was forgiven for saying that. As a professional informant, once you sell a clue, you actually lose the initiative. If the buyer takes it and shares it everywhere, he will not be able to collect the report fee from other media.
Chen Dong laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Yang can put his heart in his stomach, such a good scoop, who is willing to share it with outsiders?"
