Extended information unlicensed quarry piles of gravel. Although it was listed as "illegal" mining by the functional departments, the machines in the quarry were not dismantled.

A year, more than 300 mu of forest was destroyed by mountain blasting, and natural vegetation was destroyed, which led to the siltation and burial of reservoirs and affected the lives of 30 thousand villagers. Why can't Puning unlicensed quarry be demolished?

In the past year, an unlicensed quarry in Puning City, Guangdong Province destroyed more than 300 mu of forest by blasting, seriously damaged natural vegetation, caused reservoir siltation and soil erosion, and affected the production and life of nearly 30 thousand villagers around. In the case that the functional department clearly defines the quarry as unlicensed mining and orders it to stop production, the quarry cannot be demolished or moved.

The reporter learned from two field visits in the past three months that quarry operators are lucky because of the lack of administration and poor supervision of local governments and functional departments. Although the production was stopped, he delayed the dismantling of the equipment and stepped up various procedures to restart the work. The local people reacted strongly to this strange phenomenon of "breaking the law and not correcting it".

Unlicensed quarrying endangers ecology and people's livelihood.

The reporter saw in Donggangliao Village, Nanjing Town, Puning City that hundreds of acres of farmland were abandoned due to waterless irrigation; Because it was buried by sand and gravel, the storage capacity of Hukengshan Reservoir, which originally occupied more than a thousand mu and was located below the quarry, was reduced by nearly one third. On the blasted cliff, a lot of vegetation was destroyed;

Dozens of meters high heavy quarrying machines stand in the mountains, and piles of rubble are waiting to be transported out. Although the quarry is in a state of suspension of production, there are still various equipments and workers stationed at the site. Nearby Tiannan Village, Biyu Village, Pingyang Village, Xincuozi Village and Checuowei Village are all affected to varying degrees. According to local villagers' estimates, nearly 1,000 mu of farmland was affected.

In May 2009, a large unlicensed quarry covering an area of 32 mu was built without the environmental assessment and "quarrying permit" approved by the land department, and it was equipped with various equipment, such as transport vehicles, excavators, large gravel trucks, multiple automatic high-speed gravel conveyors, as well as high-voltage substations and special lanes.

No "birth permit" was ordered to stop production.

20 10,10 On February 27th, the leaders of Puning Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources, Water Resources Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, Forestry Bureau, Safety Supervision Bureau and the head of Nanjing Town Government all admitted in an interview that people were sent to the site for preliminary investigation on June 5438+00, 2009, but no department officially approved the establishment of the quarry.

The reporter learned that since the quarry started construction, local villagers have repeatedly reported the unlicensed operation and serious environmental damage of the quarry to Puning City, Jieyang City and relevant departments of Guangdong Province.

According to Wu, the team leader of land supervision of Puning Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources, they discovered this unlicensed quarry on March 20 10, and issued the Notice of Ordering to Stop Illegal Acts of Land and Resources.

The Nanjing Town Government subsequently decided that the quarry was operating without a license, and issued a Notice of Suspension on 20th10, ordering the quarry to "immediately stop production, dismantle machinery and restore the site to its original state".

The approval of the municipal government brought things to a deadlock.

Just one week after the Nanjing Town Government issued the notice of suspension of work, the Puning Municipal Government issued the "Reply on Agreeing that Mr. Chen's Stone Yard in Jimijiaoshan, Donggangliao Village, Nanjing Town" on April 27th, 20 10. The reply put forward that the quarry was agreed to be a designated quarry in Puning City, so please go through the formalities according to the relevant regulations.

This approval from Puning Municipal Government puts the functional departments in a dilemma. Things are also deadlocked. In an interview with reporters, the heads of the five functional departments and the Nanjing town government all said that from the beginning, this quarry was operated without a license. They don't understand why the municipal government started a special meeting when the functional departments didn't report the audit opinions to the municipal government, and why it was listed as a "designated quarry". The opinions of the municipal government and functional departments "fought", which delayed the handling of the problem.

Propaganda Department: Unlicensed mining is a "testing machine"

On February 2 1 this year, the reporter received a fax from the Propaganda Department of Puning Municipal Committee, explaining that the original unlicensed mining behavior of the quarry was a "trial run" before the relevant procedures were applied. At the same time, it said, "In view of the fact that the quarry has not obtained a mining license, our city decided to dismantle the quarry equipment immediately."

The villagers in Donggangliao don't agree with the idea of "test flight". The villagers calculated an account for the reporter. After the completion of the quarry, it has been mined for nearly a year, and about 200 cars of stones can be transported out one day. The value of sand and gravel per car is 700 to 800 yuan, and the daily profit is extremely considerable.

Seeing that the mountains have been blown flat, can such a large-scale mining be called a testing machine? Donggangliao villagers told reporters that although the quarry has been shut down, the equipment is basically intact and can be restarted at any time. Ye, secretary of the Party Committee of Nanjing Town, and Yang, secretary of the branch of Donggangliao Village, told reporters that although the municipal government organized two special meetings around the Spring Festival, it ordered the quarry to dismantle its own equipment and evacuate as soon as possible, and deployed the town government and village committees to do mass work and cooperate with the evacuation of quarry equipment, but it was always "only thunder and no rain"

The villagers in Donggang Liao were puzzled by the delay of the government department. The government department determined the nature, but did not take compulsory action.
