The court found that since 2007, Ningxia Ming Sheng Dyeing and Chemical Company has adopted "lime neutralization method" to treat industrial wastewater in Tengger Desert on the east side of the factory without environmental impact assessment, declaration, registration and acceptance. In June 2009, Lian Moumou, as the legal representative, began to take charge of the overall work of Ming Sheng Dyeing and Chemical Company, and decided to continue to use "lime neutralization method" to treat industrial wastewater. On April 20 14, the pollution discharge permit of Ming Sheng Dyeing and Chemical Company expired, but it continued to discharge pollutants illegally. By September of 20 14, when the company was ordered to stop production, there was a large amount of industrial wastewater in the seepage pit of Tengger desert on the east side outside the company factory. By sampling and testing the wastewater from Ningxia Environmental Monitoring Center Station, it was found that many detection factors in the wastewater exceeded the national discharge standard. After the incident, the dyeing company and its legal representative, Lian Moumou, took timely measures to eliminate pollution in order to prevent the pollution from expanding.
The court held that Ming Sheng Dyeing & Chemical Company in Ningxia violated state regulations and illegally discharged and disposed of toxic substances, which seriously polluted the environment. Lian Moumou is the person in charge who is directly responsible for the defendant's environmental pollution. The actions of Ningxia Dyeing and Chemical Company and Lian Moumou have violated the criminal law and constituted the crime of environmental pollution, so the above judgment was made. Both the defendant unit and the defendant pleaded guilty and refused to accept the appeal.
