Chapter 375: Falling Out (18)

After lunch, Qi Tianxiang was invited to the VIP room, Yao Bingxin and his entourage, as well as the relevant personnel of the Housing Construction and Environmental Protection Department, solemnly informed Qi Tianxiang of the investigation report and the draft handling opinions, because it was not officially approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and it was only an oral report to Vice Premier Huang by telephone, and it had not yet been signed and approved by Vice Premier Huang and specific instructions, and the report could only be regarded as a draft status, so it could only be regarded as a notification, not a formal decision.

Although the difference is subtle, it still exists, which is something that Yao Bingxin and Qi Tianxiang both understand, but what is even more clear is that the investigation report issued by a professional environmental protection agency is based on detailed and real data, has absolute authority and scientific basis, and is difficult to be denied and overturned.

Not to mention the policies and regulations of the State Council, the existing legal documents such as the Environmental Protection Law, the Forest Law, and the Mineral Resources Law can accurately characterize the accident and impose specific penalties according to the legal provisions violated.

This is an obvious fact, and as long as the handling opinions do not exceed the scope defined by the law, they will be the same result in front of leaders at any level.

As long as an investigation report is made, the possibility of completely refuting or denying it is almost non-existent.

It is common practice that the greeting and operation are carried out at the beginning of the investigation, and once the investigation report is formed, it will be more difficult to falsify and change, unless there is greater energy to change, otherwise it is equivalent to an established fact.

Yao Bingxin and Qi Tianxiang were waiting for such a time and node, and at the sensitive stage when the accident first happened, there were many calls and greetings from all sides, and the pressure was also very great.

Yao Bingxin's strategy is that the incident happened in Ho Hai Province, and after waiting for the rescue to be carried out for a certain period of time, it will be comprehensively considered according to the wishes of the Ho Hai Provincial Government.

Qi Tianxiang's approach is the same, consciously postponing the handling of the accident to the rescue, putting people's livelihood protection in the first place, and the more sufficient reason is that Minister Yao Bingxin personally led a team to the scene and was assigned by Vice Premier Huang to investigate and deal with the accident, and also wanted the idea of the accident before making a decision.

The more entanglements arise, the more complicated things will become, and the more unpredictable the outcome will be, and the result of the delay will be that the investigation is in full swing, and the conclusions are also made by many parties, not only environmental protection agencies, but also local governments of water conservancy, mining, and forestry, and even armed police professional institutions.

Such an investigation report in itself explains a lot of problems, and it also makes many things self-evident.

For such a briefing, Qi Tianxiang and Yao Bingxin both knew what it meant, so the enthusiasm for meeting was short-lived, and then it turned into a serious atmosphere, and after a simple greeting, they entered the main topic.

The accident report is carried out by the person in charge of the Environmental Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and as the authoritative body of environmental monitoring, the conclusions and reports made are also fully authoritative and scientific.

The report is divided into three parts, the first is the cause of the accident, which lists in detail the radioactive pollution and dust hazards caused by mining in the mining area, as well as the cyanide dilution that may be produced, and the obvious and hidden hazards to the soil, water and atmosphere.

The second part is the environmental hazards, in fact, the development of the cause of the accident, through the monitoring data of soil water resources and atmosphere within a few kilometers around the mining area, as well as the large-scale pollution of the Guishui River and the Qinghe River basin caused by the cyanide pouring into the Guishui River with the mountain torrent, as well as the harm to the people's life and health, especially due to the disorderly mining and processing of mineral resources, the harm to the mountainous forests and the surrounding environment, and the impact on the ecological environment of the mountainous areas of Guishui County, the statement is very clear. The survey data cited have also been tested by multiple departments such as water conservancy, forestry, minerals and environmental protection.

The third part is the handling opinion, which characterizes the accident as the environmental damage caused by the illegal mining and over-scope production and processing of the enterprise, as well as the lax control, which makes the related enterprises have serious production liability accidents, causing irreparable environmental damage and affecting the lives and health of nearly 10 million people.

The following treatment opinions are divided into two parts, according to the qualitative determination of the penalty opinion, environmental restoration, and ecological improvement.

The penalty opinion is made in accordance with the environmental protection law and other laws and regulations, according to the degree of harm and the loss caused, and has detailed terms and basis.

Environmental restoration and ecological restoration instructs the Hehai Provincial Government and relevant departments to formulate a detailed environmental governance plan according to the actual degree of harm and loss, and to carry out closed restoration of the area at the grassroots level of all hazardous enterprises, and to place the restoration work under the supervision of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, so as to jointly carry out the governance work and restore the environment and ecology.

After the briefing, Qi Tianxiang made a statement on behalf of the provincial government in accordance with the procedure.

Prior to this, Qi Tianxiang had always said nothing, listened attentively to the briefing, and recorded it carefully in his notebook, without communicating with anyone until the end of the briefing.

Qi Tianxiang looked around at the heads of provincial and municipal departments who participated in the briefing, and finally focused his eyes on Yao Bingxin's face, and said seriously and seriously: "Thank you very much for the patient and meticulous work done by Minister Yao and the environmental protection department, and made such a detailed investigation report under such severe and harsh environmental conditions. ”

After a brief opening remarks, Qi Tianxiang turned the topic to reality, and sincerely continued: "As the governor of the Hehai Provincial Government, I did not timely detect and intervene in Guishui County for such a serious accident that endangers the environment and the lives and health of the people, so that such a major safety liability accident occurs, I have an unshirkable leadership responsibility, and I will make a profound inspection to the provincial party committee, and ask the central government to investigate and deal with it, so as to strictly enforce party discipline and prevent the recurrence of such incidents." ”

"I fully agree with the scientific conclusions and handling opinions made by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and resolutely implement them."

Qi Tianxiang's attitude became resolute, the expression on his face also became firm and serious, and he said clearly: "For the environmental governance and ecological restoration work that the provincial government will undertake, I must actively organize all units and departments with full enthusiasm, serious and responsible attitude, and the belief in the benefit of future generations, carefully study the implementation plan, and consciously accept the supervision and guidance of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and strive to restore and restore the ecological environment in the deep mountainous area of Guishui County in the shortest possible time, so as to make the environment of the mountainous area more beautiful." ”

Qi Tianxiang's statement was serious and sincere, which also showed the firm will of the provincial government, which was highly recognized by the participants, and also made the briefing activities achieve unprecedented unity.

After Qi Tianxiang made a statement, Yao Bingxin said slowly: "Comrade Qi Tianxiang's statement on behalf of the Hehai Provincial Government is very good and meaningful, which shows the provincial government's understanding of environmental protection and people's livelihood security, as well as the coordinated development of the environment and the economy and society, and the role of promoting social progress. ”

"The development of the economy and the protection of the environment, many local governments in their understanding, are considered to be a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, it seems that economic development and progress, will inevitably be accompanied by environmental and ecological damage, and the idea of pollution first and then treatment, is still the basic idea of many leading cadres in environmental protection. Sustainable development and green development can only remain in high-profile propaganda in words, and cannot be implemented in policy formulation and practical actions. ”

Yao Bingxin's face became grim, and his tone became anxious and concerned, "Over the years, both resource development and economic activities have brought serious environmental and ecological damage, wetlands and green spaces have been greatly reduced, and the protection of water sources and groundwater control are in a disorderly state. Air, soil and water, the basic conditions on which we depend, are becoming more and more dangerous and unsafe, is this the inevitability of economic development, or is it a deviation in the way of development? This is worth thinking about for each and every one of us. ”

Yao Bingxin spoke, looked around at all the people participating in the briefing, and said in a heavy tone: "The collapse of the sedimentation pond in Guishui County is an isolated case and a small probability event, but in the big picture, the probability event has brought huge harm and ecological disasters. For the sake of corporate interests, the lives of nearly 10 million people in the Guishui River and Qinghe River basins are at risk, is this just harming others and benefiting oneself? Is it just short-sightedness and blindness? Fortunately, this accident occurred, otherwise the illegal illegal discharge of enterprises, I don't know how long it will last, and how many people's health will be endangered. ”

"Such behavior must not be tolerated, we must resolutely crack down, only by cutting off the curse of profit-driven, can we return a safe environment to the society, and a natural and beautiful space for the ecology."

Yao Bingxin seemed unwilling to say anything more, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said gently: "This is a long-term and arduous work, which requires the provincial government, all localities and cities here, and all relevant units to work together, work hard, and make great sacrifices to achieve it. ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Yao Bingxin solemnly and nodded, looked around at the participants, and said solemnly: "We not only listened to the accident report made by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, but also heard Minister Yao's requirements and ardent hopes for us. In a few years, I remember what kind of answer sheet we can hand in and what kind of answer is the best answer, and I hope everyone who attended the meeting will also remember it deeply. ”
