In recent years, diamonds have become more and more popular among people, prices have continued to rise, and some people have been eyeing this "business." They refined the diamond by preparing the chemical reagent "Aqua regia". However, in this process, the waste liquid is directly discharged into the ground, which seriously pollutes the environment. Recently, through the prosecution of the Xintai City Procuratorate of Shandong Province, the court sentenced the three principal offenders of the criminal gang to two years and six months to one year in prison for environmental pollution, and sentenced seven accomplices to one year in prison, probation two. year. After the first instance was pronounced, none of the 10 defendants filed an appeal.
Li Juping, 39, is a farmer in Xingan County, Jiangxi Province. From 2006, he went to Fujian to refine diamonds using recycled marble cutter heads. In July and August 2013, through the introduction of fellow villagers, Zhang Wenzhi of Pingyi County, Shandong Province contacted Li Juping and asked him to collect diamonds in Pingyi County.
After years of operating the diamond business in the South, Li Juping felt that the relevant departments had very strict investigations on environmental issues and had plans to switch to the northern market. Therefore, Li Juping and Zhang Wenzhi admitted that they could contact the supply of the knife head, but they were not familiar with the local environment in Pingyi County. They had to find a suitable place to build a factory, and they had to "not know what to do."
"I am looking for a place, when you come over, let's do it together." Zhang Wenzhi promised to Li Juping.
In October 2013, Zhang Wenzhi called Li Juping to say that the place had been found, and let him take a look. Li Jianhong, who is in the same village as Li Juping, also has a scrap of diamonds that refines diamonds. So Li Juping pulled Li Jianhong together to find Zhang Wenzhi.
"This ridge is a village in the village of Yucun, in the land of Xintai and Lishui. This place is far from the village. We will not find it in the village at night." After some investigation, Li Juping chose Zhang Wenzhi. The site is very satisfied. They had dinner together, and during the meeting, Zhang Wenzhi introduced Tang Yan and Lan Chengjun from the same village.
They also hired people to build temporary sheds on the selected ruins, and led the water and electricity from the nearby brick factories to the mountains. They found an excavator from the village and dug a few large pits. Hydrochloric acid, concentrated nitric acid and waste liquid.
At the same time as the construction site, Li Juping, Li Jianhong, and Zhang Wenzhi separately contacted the supply of the knife head and transported them to Pingyi County through logistics. Tang Hao arranged for people to transfer from Pingyi County to the construction site. On November 19 of the same year, Zhang Wenzhi contacted hydrochloric acid and nitric acid to the mountain. On November 23, Zhang Wenzhi and Li Jianhong contacted the supply of the knife head to the construction site. Everything is ready, they are planning to do a big job.
From November 24th, they began to organize production, and the remaining waste liquid was discharged into the previously excavated seepage pit and directly infiltrated into the ground.
Early in the morning of November 28, they were seized by law enforcement officers of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Water samples were taken at the environmental monitoring station for monitoring. After monitoring, the discharged wastewater belongs to the “National Waste List” HW34 waste acid “waste acid solution produced by the passivation of nitric acid”, which is a toxic substance and seriously pollutes the environment.
After on-site investigation, the discharged waste liquid is about 268.84 tons, and the polluted land area is 1023 square meters. Since the place where the plant is built belongs to the barren hill, the ecological restoration time limit, whether the acid solution pollutes the groundwater quality and how much damage is temporarily impossible to estimate.
On the day of the investigation, the EPA inspected and monitored the suspects and transferred them to the Public Security Bureau after being suspected of committing crimes; after review, the Public Security Bureau filed a case on the same day and arrested the suspects.
After the prosecution of the Xintai City Procuratorate, the court held that 10 defendants, such as Li Juping and Tang Yu, violated state regulations and used septic pits and fissures to discharge waste liquid containing toxic substances, which seriously polluted the environment and its behavior constituted a crime of environmental pollution. In the joint crime, the defendants Li Juping, Tang Yu and Zhang Wenzhi played an important role and were the principal offenders; the remaining seven accused were accomplices and should be given a lighter punishment according to law. The 10 accused pleaded guilty and were given a lighter punishment as appropriate. Accordingly, the court made the above judgment.
