[China Packaging News] Zhang Wenqi, an environmental volunteer, has continuously reported environmental pollution problems of Henan paper enterprises since July 2014. Due to his report in 2015, Zhang Wenqi was filed for investigation by the local Public Security Bureau on suspicion of damaging business reputation and commodity reputation, and is facing prosecution with a maximum penalty of 2 years' imprisonment. This case will be heard in the people's Court of Wuzhi County, Henan Province on January 23, 2018

repeated reports

Zhang Wenqi's colleague Wang Fei (a pseudonym) told that Zhang Wenqi was engaged in chemical sales in an enterprise in Shanghai. Due to business contacts, he had frequently traveled to Wuzhi County, Henan Province since about 2011, and was very familiar with the reported enterprise. Later, Zhang Wenqi slowly found that the enterprise had problems such as underground water pollution caused by secretly burying waste

after July 2014, Zhang Wenqi began to report frequently to relevant departments. "He got involved with these enterprises." Wang Fei said

on July 24, 2014, Zhang Wenqi sent the first anonymous report letter at the Wuzhi county government station. In the letter, Zhang Wenqi claimed to be an employee of the enterprise, reflecting that Wuzhi Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd. stored a large number of dangerous chemicals, "there are 5 or 6 buried tanks alone, all of which are benzene dangerous goods, and this small chemical plant also reacts with hydrogen, which is easy to explode."

not only that, Zhang Wenqi also said in his letter that Guangyuan paper secretly buried a large amount of waste paper deinking and sewage treatment waste in the plant pit, about 10000. He wrote in the tone of the company's workers in the report letter, "now our Guangyuan paper workers don't drink the groundwater here. It's all the water sent by Jianghe paper industry of the general factory every day. It's said that the groundwater detected in the factory seriously exceeded the standard. Our village is very close to the factory, and the groundwater is also polluted."

on September 3 of that year, Wuzhi county government replied that Guangyuan paper did store dangerous chemicals such as hydrogen and methanol. During the inspection, it was found that Wuzhi County Safety Supervision Bureau had issued a notice of rectification on July 29, requiring it to go through safety evaluation procedures within a time limit. On August 19, another review was conducted, and it was found that the safety evaluation procedures had not been handled, and the enterprise was immediately ordered to stop construction and go through the relevant procedures

for the problem of landfill pollution, the Wuzhi county government replied that the company's waste is temporarily stacked in the fixed area of the plant, and an organic fertilizer workshop is being prepared, and the sludge will be used as the main raw material. At present, the content of heavy metals in sludge has been tested by Jiaozuo environmental monitoring station, which meets the requirements of national soil environmental quality standard (GB)

in this inspection, Guangyuan paper was found that the newly-built papermaking auxiliary project was started without approval of the environmental protection department, which was an unapproved project. Therefore, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Wuzhi County issued a "notice on the correction of environmental violations within a time limit" to Guangyuan paper industry, ordering it to immediately stop the construction of its papermaking auxiliary project, and complete the relevant environmental protection procedures before October 3, 2014. The correction shall be reported in writing to the County Environmental Protection Bureau before October 10, 2014. Construction shall not be started without approval, otherwise it will be punished according to law

Guangyuan paper, which should have completed the relevant environmental protection procedures and submitted a written report before October 10, 2014, was subsequently punished. According to the punishment letter issued by Jiaozuo environmental protection department, on October 11, 2014, the environmental law enforcement personnel of Wuzhi County conducted an on-site inspection and found that the papermaking additive project of Guangyuan paper industry was put into production without the approval of the administrative department of environmental protection, and an administrative penalty of 300000 yuan was imposed, and the production and use were again ordered to stop, and the environmental impact assessment procedures were completed within three months

Wuzhi Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. was reported by Zhang Wenqi together with Guangyuan paper. Wuzhi County Environmental Protection Bureau also ordered it to stop production and use, limited to three months to complete the environmental impact assessment procedures and an administrative penalty of 300000

Wang Zhenyu, Zhang Wenqi's defense lawyer, told the interface that although the current industrial and commercial data did not show the relationship between several enterprises, many public data and information can confirm that Guangyuan paper and Zhihui technology are subsidiaries of Henan Jianghe Paper Co., Ltd

according to the official data of Guangyuan paper, in 2010, Henan Jianghe Paper Co., Ltd. wholly acquired Guangyuan paper, which has been suspended for one year. Through the search of several enterprises by "tianyancha", it can also be found that Jianghe paper, a shareholder and director with a shareholding of 20.77%, is also the legal representative of Zhihui technology. The original site of Zhihui technology is located in the courtyard of Jianghe Paper Co., Ltd. at the beginning of 2013, the company's carbon free carbon paper developer project, as an auxiliary material workshop for the expansion project of Guangyuan paper with an annual output of 300000 tons of special paper, was relocated to Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd. Moreover, Wuzhi Xinjiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jianghe paper industry, is located in Guangyuan Paper Industry Institute

on January 27, 2015, Jiaozuo Environmental Protection Bureau issued a notice that recently, the provincial and municipal environmental supervision and law enforcement personnel found that the production of papermaking additives project of Wuzhi Guangyuan Paper Industry Co., Ltd. had been stopped, and the chromogenic agent relocation project of Wuzhi Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. was still in illegal production, and the above two projects had not yet obtained the EIA approval procedures. Wuzhi County Environmental Protection Bureau is required to ensure that the chromogenic agent relocation project of Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. is stopped immediately and the EIA approval procedures are completed on schedule

Zhang Wenqi was not satisfied with the result of such treatment. He has repeatedly reported it to relevant ministries and commissions, provincial, municipal, county environmental protection, discipline inspection, letters and visits and other departments. Environmental protection departments at all levels in Henan Province, Jiaozuo City and Wuzhi county have also made public responses for many times. Several enterprises failed to pass the approval of the environmental protection department and were punished for many times, but the inspection did not find that the enterprises had problems of sewage discharge and burying secretly

Zhang Wenqi also found that Guangyuan paper still had the problem of dumping waste residues. On April 15, 2015, when he passed Guangyuan, he saw an earthwork truck loaded with blue waste driving out of it. Later, Zhang Wenqi found that these blue waste residues were dumped in the flood discharge ditch

Wang Fei analyzed that the blue waste residue should be aniline compounds, carcinogens, and not easy to degrade. Once it rains, aniline compounds dissolve in water, and Henan has sandy land, which is easy to penetrate into groundwater

"Zhang Wenqi was born in Nanjing Institute of chemical technology and knows these very well." Wang Fei said

on May 8, 2015, Zhang Wenqi and his colleagues went to Wuzhi County People's government, Wuzhi County Tax Bureau and other places to post more than 10 "open letters to all the people of Wuzhi county", writing all the problems he repeatedly reported in the letter

environmental protection punishment

according to China Environment News in July 2015, as the Ministry of environmental protection received reports from the masses reflecting the environmental problems of Henan Wuzhi Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd. and Wuzhi Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd., Pan Yue, then Vice Minister of the Ministry of environmental protection, instructed that the North China Environmental protection supervision center of the Ministry of environmental protection investigated the problems of several enterprises

the investigation found that the papermaking auxiliary project of Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd. was constructed and put into trial production without approval, and the solid waste generated during the trial production was disposed of without authorization. Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. will not cause the high porosity company to construct and put into trial production the colorant project for carbon free carbon paper without approval, dispose the solid waste generated in the trial production without authorization, cause serious unorganized odor emission in the workshop, and cause the two ton steam boiler and the two ton heat transfer oil furnace to have no perfect pollution prevention and control facilities

on April 16, 2015, the day after Zhang Wenqi found the dumping and transfer of waste residue, Wuzhi County Environmental Protection Committee issued the notice on powering off 10 enterprises including Zhihui technology to Wuzhi County Electric Power Corporation, requiring that Zhihui technology and Guangyuan paper papermaking aid project be powered off immediately. On May 23, the North China Environmental Protection Supervision Center conducted another on-site inspection

the inspection of North China Environmental Protection Supervision Center confirmed that the papermaking auxiliary project of Guangyuan paper industry and the color developing agent project of Zhihui technology 1000t/a carbon free carbon copy paper have been suspended since the case was filed and investigated in 2014. The sludge illegally dumped by the informant is actually the sludge produced by Guangyuan Paper sewage treatment station (30 cubic meters/day). About half of them are entrusted to local villagers Ma Chenping to transport to Wuzhi County landfill for landfilling, a small part is mixed with coal and sent to boilers for incineration, and the rest is used for experimental composting in the new composting workshop in the plant

on May 24, 2015, Wuzhi County Environmental Protection Bureau issued the opinion that the solid waste of Guangyuan paper industry can be used as fertilizer. The next day, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Wuzhi County issued the "decision on administrative punishment" for the illegal dumping of sludge by Guangyuan paper industry, ordering the enterprise to immediately correct the illegal behavior and impose a fine of 20000 yuan

the report of China Environment News also mentioned that Jiaozuo Environmental Protection Bureau would not approve both projects because the plant was not a chemical park

in 2016, Guangyuan paper and Zhihui technology, which were in the "shutdown state", were more severely punished. According to public documents, on April 27, 2016, Henan Provincial Environmental Supervision Corps, together with the North China supervision center of the Ministry of environmental protection and Jiaozuo Environmental Protection Bureau, jointly fed back the investigation to the Wuzhi county Party committee and the county government. From April 28, the boiler room and power distribution room of Wuzhi Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. in the new plant area of Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd. were demolished. Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd. and Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. were also required to be demolished before May 18. The person in charge of the enterprise was also subject to administrative punishment. On April 29, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Wuzhi County transferred the case to the public security department. The public security department gave Zhou Hongwei, general manager of Guangyuan Paper Co., Ltd., and the papermaking operator the punishment of administrative detention for 10 days in accordance with the law that they could quickly check out the type of failure in the operation and use of the equipment in Chapter 1. Chen Fujun, head of the auxiliary workshop, and Wang Hongguang, head of Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd

the document also shows that the director of Wuzhi County Environmental Protection Bureau and the deputy director in charge were also criticized and educated, while Shi Hongwei, the executive deputy leader (presiding over the work) and director of the office of Wuzhi County Environmental Supervision Brigade, was given administrative demerit recording punishment, and Zhang Aimin, the deputy leader of Wuzhi County Environmental Supervision Brigade and director of the East Center of the county, was given administrative demerit recording punishment

finally, the environmental protection department also found the problem of environmental pollution. Jiaozuo Municipal government official's "public notice on the acceptance and transfer of reports by the central environmental protection supervision group (15)" announced that the chemical plant in Guangyuan Paper Industry Institute, a subsidiary plant of Jianghe paper industry in Wuzhi County, had been illegally produced for two years and had been investigated and banned by the North China supervision center of the Ministry of environmental protection for secretly burying chemical waste residues. At present, this illegal chemical plant has been moved to the last row of workshops of the old factory of Jianghe paper industry to continue illegal production and illegal disposal of chemical waste residues. In the name of producing papermaking additives, they actually produce chemical dyes. They mix the production waste residues into coal and burn them, emitting toxic gases. Recently, this chemical plant has built a new plant in Jiaozuo western industrial zone
