A printing and dyeing company in Shaoxing did not put serious effort into pollution control. Instead, it used crooked ideas. It not only installed a valve between the bottom of the reuse tank and the drainage tank, but also used human interference to automatically monitor and sample samples in an attempt to achieve data compliance.
Case Review
2021 7 On the evening of March 30, law enforcement officers from the Yuecheng Branch of the Shaoxing Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau received clues from online surveillance videos and immediately conducted a nighttime surprise inspection of a printing and dyeing company located in Shaoxing, Paojiang New District.
During the on-site inspection, it was found that the company privately connected the COD and total nitrogen detector sampling tubes in the online monitoring room to the prepared equipment. wastewater in plastic bottles to ensure that wastewater online monitoring data meets standards. Law enforcement officers immediately inspected the company’s sewage treatment situation and took water samples. At the same time, they investigated and questioned relevant personnel of the company.
According to the relevant personnel involved, the company’s mud press was damaged on July 28. In order to prevent the sewage from containing mud and causing the discharged wastewater data to exceed the standard, the company Starting from July 28, company employees privately connected the sampling tubes of the online monitoring room to the prepared mineral water bottles containing wastewater that met the standard at around 5pm every evening to ensure that the online data met the standards. Then restore the online monitoring room to its original state. At present, the relevant evidence has been fixed. Wang, the manager of the company’s online monitoring room, and Song, the sewage supervisor, have admitted the facts of the operation.
At the same time, after investigation, it was found that there is a valve between the recycling pipe set up at the bottom of the stamp recycling pool and the outflow pipe set up at the bottom of the outflow pool. When the valve is opened, At this time, the wastewater in the printing reuse tank can be discharged through the discharge pipe network.
According to the water sample monitoring report, the COD of the water sample taken from the company’s sewage discharge tank at that time was 321mg/L , total nitrogen 21.9 mg/L, ammonia nitrogen 4.02 mg/L. According to the “Water Pollutant Emission Standard for Textile Dyeing and Finishing Industry” GB4287-2012, the emission standards are COD 500 mg/L, total nitrogen 30 mg/L, and ammonia nitrogen 20 mg/L. The water sample data of the effluent pool all meet the standards, but the printing The water sample data of the reuse pool (which can be reused or discharged) is 307 mg/L, total nitrogen 191 mg/L, and ammonia nitrogen 164 mg/L.
According to online traffic query, the wastewater discharge volume from 18:00 on July 28 to 8:00 on July 29 is 823m3; from 18:00 on July 29 to July 30 The wastewater discharge volume at 8 o’clock is 1184 m3; the wastewater discharge volume from 18:00 to 20:00 on July 30 is 110 m3.
Progress of the case
The company’s The behavior violated the provisions of Article 39 and Article 83, Paragraph 3 of the “Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China”. According to the “Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Several Issues concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Environmental Pollution” Article 1, Item 7, the local ecological environment department transferred the case to the public security department on August 6, and the public security department has accepted the case and launched the next step of investigation.
Legal basis
“The People’s Republic of China Article 39 of the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the Republic of China
It is prohibited to use seepage wells, seepage pits, fissures, caves, privately set up hidden pipes, tamper with or falsify monitoring data, or abnormal Discharge water pollutants by operating water pollution prevention and control facilities and other methods to evade supervision.
“Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China”
Article 83 Violation of the provisions of this law involves one of the following acts If the situation is serious, the environmental protection department of the people’s government at or above the county level shall order it to make corrections or restrict production or suspend production for rectification, and impose a fine of not less than 100,000 yuan but not more than 1 million yuan; if the circumstances are serious, it shall be reported to the people’s government with the power of approval for approval. Ordered to suspend business or close down:
Item 3: Using seepage wells, seepage pits, fissures, caves, setting up hidden pipes privately, tampering with or falsifying monitoring data, or abnormally operating water pollution prevention and control Facilities and other facilities discharge water pollutants in a manner that avoids supervision.
“Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Environmental Pollution”
Implementation of Article 1 The behavior specified in Article 338 of the Criminal Law shall be deemed as “serious pollution of the environment” if it falls under any of the following circumstances:
Item 7: Tampering and forgery by key pollutant-discharging units Automatically monitor data or interfere with automatic monitoring facilities, emitting chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants.
A case of tampering and forging automatic monitoring data by a printing and dyeing company in Changle District
In April 2021, the Fujian Provincial Pollution Source Monitoring Platform issued a warning message that the oxygen content in the boiler of a printing and dyeing company in Changle District (hereinafter referred to as the printing and dyeing company) was lower than that of the same industry. According to the alarm information, on May 4, 2021, the Fujian Provincial Environmental Supervision Corps and the law enforcement officers of Fuzhou Changle Ecological Environment Bureau conducted an on-site inspection of the printing and dyeing company and found that the company’s automatic flue gas monitoring equipment oxygen content analyzer range calibration value setting is 14%. After investigation, in order to reduce the pollutant values uploaded to the monitoring system of the ecological environment department, the printing and dyeing company adjusted the oxygen content analyzer range calibration setting value without authorization, resulting inThe oxygen content value uploaded to the industrial computer is only 67% of the actual flue gas concentration, which affects the converted concentration of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, resulting in serious distortion of the data received by the monitoring system of the ecological environment department.
The above-mentioned behavior of the printing and dyeing company violated the provisions of Article 42 of the “Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China” and Article 20 of the “Atmospheric Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China”, Fuzhou Changle Ecological Environment Bureau ordered the company to correct the above-mentioned environmental violations within a time limit, imposed a fine of RMB 500,000, and transferred the case to the public security agency. </p
