On October 13, netizens complained in Sichuan: I am a villager from five groups of villagers in Niushikan Village, Shihe Town, Southern County. A large pig farm in our group discharged untreated sewage into the lower weir pond for a long time, until the water in the weir pond was seriously polluted, and after the weir pond was full, it was discharged into the villagers' wells below, and the drinking water source was also polluted. The villagers have repeatedly responded to the village committee and the Shihe Town People's Government, but the treatment is delayed, and the method is simple, just sprinkling a large amount of lime into the water, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Please Secretary Gu pay attention to this incident in his busy schedule and help the villagers solve it, thank you!
On October 16, the People's Government of Shihe Town, Southern County, replied to the questions raised by netizens as follows:
Hello people, regarding the pig farm pollution incident you reported, our town has organized relevant staff to visit the scene with the investigators of the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau before you reported the problem, and after discovering this situation, the person in charge of the pig farm was ordered to complete the pollution rectification within the time limit as soon as possible.
Under the supervision of our town, the pig farm has immediately carried out rectification, and the specific measures are as follows: 1. The first step is to stop the discharge of pollution at the source, and at the same time carry out disinfection and sterilization: spread quicklime for disinfection and filtration, and start dredging along the way from the source; 2. The second step is to carry out odor cleaning, ammonia and pond cleaning actions; 3. Order the completion of the deadline: complete the restoration of the weir pond within one week. At present, the rectification has entered the final stage: the water quality has been restored, it is already in the process of disinfection, and it will take some time to fully recover, and our town will continue to pay attention to and urge the farm to complete the rectification and recovery. Thank you for your understanding, if you have any other questions in the future, welcome to contact the People's Government of Shihe Town in Southern County!
