After preliminary investigation, Qinghai Xingqing Industry and Trade Engineering Group Co., Ltd. was suspected of illegal exploitation and destruction of the ecological environment. Many officials were dismissed, many people were investigated, and the responsible persons of the companies involved were taken compulsory measures.
At present, the special investigation of illegal mining in Muli mining area in the hinterland of the southern foot of Qilian Mountain is still in progress. What is the situation of on-site rectification? What is the impact of illegal mining on the ecological environment of Qilian Mountain?
Some news media reporters found that at present, the gate of the mining area is closed, and the outer fence has been welded with steel bars and surrounded by barbed wire. The ground at the entrance of the mining area is pitted, which is the result of perennial crushing by large coal trucks. At present, illegal mining in Muli mining area in Tianjun County, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province has stopped, and some mining areas are exposed.
Aerial photography shows that there are a large number of mining areas on both sides of Tianmu Highway, and some mining areas form puddles about 100 meters long, leaving ruts on the mountains on both sides.
At the entrance of No.5 well in Juhugeng mining area of Tianjun Energy Co., Ltd. of Qinghai Xingqing Group, a mining area was covered with green dust-proof net, and the mountain on one side of the green cloth had been dug into ditches.
What impact does illegal mining in Muli mining area in Qinghai have on the environment? According to insiders of Xingqing Company, the company covers the ore bodies and excavated coal with soil or with green soil net, which looks like a green lawn. But what the company did was actually to cover up the environmental damage caused by its illegal mining.
The company's illegal large-scale mining has led to the devastating destruction of non-renewable resources such as high-quality coking coal and combustible ice. Large-scale and destructive illegal open-pit mining of coal mines has brought great trauma to the original alpine grassland wetland and destroyed the local ecology of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Qinghai Lake and Qilian Mountain water conservation areas. In the illegal mining area, you can see green natural wetlands, scattered sheep like pearls and mountains dotted with snow in the distance, while nearby is a mess of coal piles, slag piles and shocking huge pits. In contrast, just like the green plateau meadow is suddenly torn, black coal and muck are like the flesh and blood dug out of the wound, which makes people look straight.
