Chapter 304: Environmental Issues (8)

The movement caused by the convoy made Qi Tianxiang very dissatisfied, and frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure, looked at Zhou Tong on the opposite side and said slowly: "How far are we from Guishui County now?" ”

"It is more than 70 kilometers from the city to Guishui County, and it takes about an hour." Without waiting for Zhou Tong to answer, Tao Ran answered first, and then added: "They are all national highways, the quality is very good, although it cannot be compared with the high speed, but because there are not many cars, it is still relatively easy to walk." ”

Qi Tianxiang frowned slightly, although it was only an inadvertent moment, but it did not escape Tao Ran's keen eyes, and he also understood Qi Tianxiang's Zou eyebrows and the reason for his dissatisfaction, after answering Qi Tianxiang's question, he turned his gaze to look at Zhang Jiashuai, the director of the public security bureau, and made a closing gesture, and then looked at Mao Zhigang, and said solemnly: "Notify the vehicle in front, and the irrelevant personnel will go back to the city first!" Then notify them when needed. ”

After Tao Ran finished saying this, he looked at Qi Tianxiang again, and softly asked Qi Tianxiang's opinion and said, "If Governor Qi is not very tired, should you let Mayor Mao Zhigang report the accident situation and our emergency plan to you and Secretary General Zhou?" ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang nodding his head gently, Tao Ran glanced at Mao Zhigang and ordered: "You can report the situation to Governor Qi and Secretary General Zhou!" Try to be as concise as possible, the leaders are tired enough to ride all the way. ”

As soon as Mao Zhigang heard Tao Ran's order, he hurriedly cheered up, as if he had been ready, looked at Qi Tianxiang intently, and said in a clear voice: "Now it has been preliminarily ascertained that the cyanide plant where the accident occurred is the Hongxing Plant in Pingba Township, Guishui County. In addition, there were landslides that washed away their sheds and factories, and some semi-finished raw materials also entered the Guishui River, and due to the large flash floods, in just a few hours, the polluted river water entered the Qinghe River, causing a large area of pollution incidents. ”

"Because it was an accident that occurred last night, it was not until this morning that the situation was reported to the county environmental protection bureau step by step, and the county environmental protection bureau immediately reported to the provincial and municipal environmental protection departments and environmental protection bureaus, and reported to the county party committee and county government. Mao Zhigang keenly saw the unhappiness on Qi Tianxiang's face, and knew that what he said was too wordy, not the subject that Qi Tianxiang wanted to hear, so he hurriedly continued: "After the disaster, we immediately instructed the county to carry out rescue, because Pingba Township is located in a deep mountainous area far away from the county seat, the traffic is very inconvenient, and the landslide has just occurred, the situation in the mountain is unknown, and the rescue machinery cannot go up, so we can only ask the fire squadron to send experienced officers and soldiers to bring the necessary equipment into the mountain first." ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Mao Zhigang's rambling words, but he never came into contact with the essence of the accident, so he impatiently interrupted his report and asked slowly: "How is the situation in the mountains now?" Where have rescuers and equipment arrived? What is the current situation of the polluted Guishui River? How has the drinking water problem of the county seat and the people along the Guishui River been solved? ”

Qi Tianxiang's series of questions, asked suddenly, so that Mao Zhigang did not think for a while, stunned, seemed to look at Qi Tianxiang unexpectedly, and then turned his head to look at Tao Ran, thought for a while before he came to his senses, and hurriedly continued: "The firefighters arrived at the accident site at more than nine o'clock in the morning, and a worker who took care of the factory was buried by the collapsed shed. In addition to rescuing the buried workers, the firefighters also cleaned up the warehouses where finished and semi-finished products were stored in the factory, found some cyanide raw materials that had not been washed away, and sealed them on the spot. ”

"At present, it is not very clear about the situation near the accident site, because there are still several landslides on the road that have not been rushed through, and the people who entered the mountain are only firefighters and some cadres in the township, and other large-scale rescues cannot be carried out, and the personnel cannot be organized in a large area, and they are all on standby in Guishui County." Mao Zhigang calmed down and continued: "There are not many people in Guishui County and along the Guishui River Basin, and there are not many people who use the Guishui River as a source of drinking water. ”

"It's not a big question, how big is it, there are not many people who use the Guishui River as drinking water, how many people are there? How many numbers do you have? What about the river water pollution? To what extent? Where are fire trucks going to get clean and safe water? How many people are there and how long do they need to provide for their daily necessities? Qi Tianxiang was very dissatisfied with Mao Zhigang's understatement of introduction, and he had almost no grasp of anything so far, and compared to the emergency measures in Qinghe City, it can be said that there was no actual action here. Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang's anger did not come to one place, and asked solemnly: "It has been more than a day since the accident occurred, and it has been more than half a day since the situation was reported to you, and the progress of the matter is almost nothing, how much is the pollution of the river water?" Is the person in charge of the enterprise involved in control of it? How many similar companies are there? What precautions have been taken? When are these problems going to be solved? Who will solve it? And how to solve it? ”

Qi Tianxiang's emotions became agitated, looking at Mao Zhigang and asking sternly, it seemed that all the resentment had gathered on his face, and only he could answer his own questions and calm his anger.

Mao Zhigang was speechless by Qi Tianxiang's repeated questions, he didn't know how to answer, he became nervous under Qi Tianxiang's eyes, and looked at Tao Ran as if asking for help, but what he saw was Tao Ran's indifferent expression, so he glanced at Li Luobing again, as if he wanted him to help him relieve the tense atmosphere.

Li Luobing glanced at Mao Zhigang with understanding, then looked at Qi Tianxiang, and said seriously: "The incident happened suddenly, although we have made some emergency plans, but because the roads and traffic in the mountains are not very ideal, it is always difficult for the rescue work to be carried out according to the predetermined plan. This kind of sudden disaster is irresistible by external forces, and the responsibility of the production enterprise should not be excessively investigated, even if it needs to be dealt with in the future, it must be dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations after the results of the investigation of the matter come out. In addition, as Mayor Mao said just now, in the middle reaches of the Guishui River here, there are not many people along the river downstream, and the problem of drinking water is not very prominent. ”

"Is this your personal opinion, or is it your understanding of the Sanyin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government?" Qi Tianxiang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, turned his face sideways to look directly at Li Luobing, and said with a gloomy face: "Your name is Li Luobing!" Executive Vice Mayor of San'in City Government, responsible for land resources and environmental protection. The occurrence of such a serious environmental pollution accident is only a force majeure emergency in your opinion, and it must be investigated and dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations. As far as I know, without a strict wastewater and residue recovery and treatment system, it is impossible to engage in high-risk cyanide dilution and liquefaction production, and all recovery tanks and sedimentation tanks must be hardened and closed, so that no leakage and other materials can enter. This is the process that must be followed for the management and approval of such enterprises, and if it does not meet the requirements, it is not possible to engage in production? And all such high-risk chemical production enterprises, away from rivers and water sources, this is not also a requirement. ”

"Since you are the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection, shouldn't you be more aware of the hazards that cyanide can cause when it enters the water body, and how long it will stay in the water body, how long it will take for the polluted water body to pass, and how to deal with it to meet the drinking standard? Although the Guishui River is located below San'in City, San'in City will not be affected too much, but what about the people who need water downstream? Does it also need to be safe for a family to get water? Qi Tianxiang's words became heavier and heavier, and his tone became more and more severe, almost reproaching, "The Guishui River finally flowed into the Qinghe River, where should the masses drink water?" How to solve the future life of nearly 10 million people? How to deal with these things, don't you care about your business? Is it possible to avoid holding companies accountable for environmental damage? ”

Qi Tianxiang's eyes were on fire, even if he tried his best to restrain himself, he still looked at Li Luobing's eyes with a lot of anger, and it was already unbearable. After reading Li Luobing, he looked at Mao Zhigang again, but he didn't make eye contact with Tao Ran, and he didn't want to say anything.

This is one of the few outbursts since Qi Tianxiang became the governor. Mao Zhigang's questions and tries, Li Luobing's sophistry and shirking of favoritism, as well as Tao Ran's indifference and pretending to be deaf and dumb, all made Qi Tianxiang deeply dissatisfied and very surprised. When such a major safety accident occurred, the municipal party committee and the municipal government not only did not pay enough attention to it, but as the secretary of the municipal party committee, they did not even have the necessary attitude and anxiety. From the fact that there were no people from the Housing Construction and Environmental Protection Department in the procession, we knew that the attitude and practices of the municipal party committee and the municipal government were very abnormal, and although it is not clear why this situation occurred, at least as a first-level party committee and government, it is very undesirable to have such an idea of waiting.

Looking at Qinghe's reaction, and then looking at the situation in Shanyin, Qi Tianxiang felt deeply worried, and also had a trace of worry about the next step of rescue and accident handling, and even a little uneasy.
