At the same time, in the face of such a special area, whether the "environmental protection inspector" can produce actual results is also a big test. During the 15 years before a large amount of leather wastewater entered the sand pit in Donghe village, Wuji county, many villages were in a desperate situation of "no water available", and the water in many villagers' wells turned black.
On June 26, the reporter saw in the on-site interview that there was still a large amount of wastewater flowing into the coal bunker through a sewage ditch. Liu said that most of the wastewater came from some leather factories in the county. The reason why sewage is introduced into the bunker is to make them all penetrate into the ground. Liu lives in Liuhe Village, Wuji Town, Wuji County, Shijiazhuang City. This county is the largest leather town in China, and the leather industry is the first pillar industry in the county, supporting half of the county economy. Wuji county, which is famous for its leather, has been criticized by the people because of its short industrial chain and low added value, especially the long-term environmental pollution, which has brought serious troubles to local villagers. This has also become a difficult choice for many cities across the country.
From a distance, the sewage pit in Donghe Village looks like a quiet lake. Although there are some trees growing well around, more than a dozen poplar trees standing in the water have already died, and there is not a leaf on the bare trunk. The smell of chemicals wafted from time to time in the dark brown water. Liu said that more than a month ago, there was no waste water in this coal bunker, but now this pit about 15 meters deep has been filled with waste water. It is necessary to go through the later infiltration and evaporation to complete the final destination.
