More than a dozen mines in a county seat in Shanxi share a mining license. With such private mining and excessive mining, the reputation of the miners has been ruined!

Wuzhai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, is located in the west of Xinzhou City. It is one of the rich water areas in Shanxi Province. There are many rivers in the territory. It is known as the county "sitting on the reservoir". The Nanshan ecological and natural tourism area is known as the "Wuzhaigou" in the north ". Wuzhai County is rich in limestone, granite and clay reserves, with an area of about 183.3 square kilometers and a total storage capacity of 50 million cubic meters. After investigation, the national quality inspection department determined that the granite texture of Wuzhai County, such as Binghua Green, Guanyin Green and Jingtang Red, is Class A; but it is this high-quality granite mineral resource that is hidden on the mountain next to the road in the "Wuzhaigou" scenic spot.

Recently, the reporter received a letter from the masses about the chaos of marble mining in Wuzhai, Shanxi:There are more than a dozen mines in Wuzhaigou where marble rough is illegally mined. Everyone shares a "mining license". The one with a "banner" is the only quarry with "formalities". Guards are on duty at the intersection at the bottom of the mountain.

 

Nanping Village, Wuzhai County, is the intersection of 305 Provincial Road and Ma Five Line. From the intersection along the north side of Ma Wu Road (right side), there are several large stone processing plants lined up. About 3.5 kilometers to Wuzhai County, turn right along a path and go 1.5 kilometers north, which is Gushan Village, Wuzhai County.The Gushan on the north side of the village is an earth-rock mountain. A rut with a depth of 50cm has appeared due to the repeated rolling of the stone waste transport vehicle;The rut floating soil is soft when stepped on and feels more than 10cm. The leaves of the wind-proof and sand-fixing plants planted artificially beside the rut are covered with floating soil and their roots are exposed.

 

Soon up the mountain, a cross bar made of iron pipe appeared on the "road". It went into the fork road on the left side of the cross bar. Halfway up the mountain was a high cliff wall, and some stone processing wastes were randomly dumped on the ground under the cliff. Crossing the cross bar to the top of the mountain came to the north side of the lonely mountain,What comes into view is a huge abandoned mine with an area of about 1000 square meters and a depth of 40-50 meters. About 1/5 of the area of the pit has been filled with stone processing waste, and the bottom of the pit has been filled with stone processing wastewater deposits; A large forklift truck was parked on the south side of the pit to push the stone waste dumped by the vehicle into the pit. Different from regular mineral powder wastewater, in order to protect the stone processing saw blade, stone wastewater not only contains stone powder, but also some petroleum hydrocarbons, a large number of surface dispersants and a small amount of ammonium chloride, sodium nitrite and other inorganic salt additives, making the wastewater mixture phase acidic or alkaline, similar to the floating mineral processing wastewater. Due to the high COD content of the wastewater, the natural precipitation products are very dense, and the direct discharge often causes environmental damage that is difficult to repair.

 

Along the 126 County Road into the "Wuzhaigou", the depth of the Wuzhaigou forest vegetation beauty is not to mention, semi-barren mountains of various strange rocks stacked on the hillside. The road into the ravine is getting farther and farther, and the stone transport vehicles are speeding in twos and threes. The accumulation of raw stone and the transfer loading site on the roadside from time to time are not too bad scenery. On the mountain on both sides of the mountain road (especially on the left side of the near mountain direction), there are constantly cases of random dumping of rubble along the hillside and the depression of the mountain. On the road, you can also see the huge wound cut on the top of the mountain, the emergence of tens of meters high, green virtual virtual a piece of rock wall.The large-scale machinery and equipment and figures on the top of the mountain show that such arbitrary mining is still in progress, and a dilapidated banner "Green Water and Green Mountain is Jinshan and Silver Mountain" is hung at the entrance to the foot of the mine.

 

From the satellite image, Wuzhaigou into the ditch direction on the left side of the mountain there are a number of marble mining points distribution, a more concentrated area on both sides of Shantou there are four or five mining operations;From the official website of the Department of Natural Resources of Shanxi Province, the relevant information on the mining license of marble (granite) mine in Wuzhai County could not be found.

Stone processing is a process in which a large saw blade decomposes the raw stone according to the required size, and then grinds, polishes, pickling and other processes according to the needs. A large amount of stone corner waste and waste water will be produced through perennial production and processing.Then, the huge amount of stone processing leftovers and waste water produced by more than 20 stone factories in Wuzhai County all the year round cannot be digested only by throwing them on the roadside. Where will they be discharged?

 

"Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" is the strongest voice of China's new era development. The development of local economy should be planned first. This is the premise of not only Jinshan and Yinshan, but also green water and green mountains. It is also the top-level design to turn green water and green mountains into Jinshan and Yinshan.Wuzhai County, Shanxi Province, guards the profit advantage of green water and green mountains, but only cares about the "golden mountains and silver mountains" of self-interest in front of them. It has to be sighed that people can't help but sigh!
