The new situation of illegal sand mining. Is the source of your machine-made sand legal?

In the new situation of illegal sand mining, is the source of your machine-made sand legal? The produced machine-made sand may also belong to illegal sand mining. The Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Transport and local governments have stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal sand mining. It is not uncommon to see reports on the ban on mining in the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Pearl River, the Ganjiang River, the Han River, and the main stream, plus the tributaries. In the new situation of illegal sand mining, are your machine-made sand raw materials legal? Recently, the relevant department of the Ministry of Water Resources found in the field inspection that the machine-made sand field occupies a large amount of the management scope of the Ganjiang River channel, and its construction has not been approved by the water conservancy department, and the source and destination of a large number of pebbles are unknown. These acts are suspected of violating the Flood Control Law and other laws and regulations.

Due to the rising price of sand and gravel, a large number of pebbles inside and outside the river sand mining area and in the inland river have been excavated and sold to the machine-made sand field for processing, which has become the main suspected source of illegal sand mining recently. The use of pebbles in river channels for processing also belongs to river sand mining, which should be included in the total amount control of river sand.

Illegal sand mining has caused farmland damage, environmental pollution, road damage, noise pollution and other problems. It is imperative and urgent to combat illegal sand mining. Why illegal sand mining is prohibited repeatedly; The reason is profit! Due to the shortage of sand and stone, the cost of illegal sand mining is low and the profit is high; The employment threshold is low, the technical content is not high, the access is free, the law is not perfect, and the legal concept of sand miners is weak; The combined force of multi department management and law enforcement needs to be strengthened.

It is not enough to stop illegal sand mining only by relying on the government's legal restrictions. It requires the public's joint participation. Citizens should learn from the spirit of reporting by the Chaoyang people. After all, illegal sand mining damages the environment; Enterprises should abide by the law, not only looking at the immediate interests but ignoring the future development; Law enforcement departments should strengthen law enforcement and leave no gray areas in front of environmental protection.
