Shuangfei bearing illegal production was fined 120,000

Jiashan, as one of the concentrated production areas of the Zhejiang oil-free bearing industry, has witnessed rapid development in recent years, and a number of state-level high-tech enterprises like Zhejiang Shuangfei Bearing Co., Ltd. have emerged.

The Association’s leased workshop is actually the same responsible person behind the illegal production.

Behind the rapid development of the industry, there are also some phenomena that are contrary to national laws and regulations. In recent days, Zhejiang Shuangfei Bearing Co., Ltd. has been locally subcontracted to Jiashan County Dry Kiln Bearing Association and illegally engaged in electroplating production. The continuous complaints of the masses and the complainant also emphasized that the chairman of the Jiashan Dry Kiln Bearing Association is the legal representative of Zhejiang Shuangfei Bearing Co., Ltd.

Environmental Protection Department Checks the Company's Illegal Disciplinary Decision

Jiashan County Environmental Protection Department confirmed: Shuangfei Bearing Company has long used a leasing workshop to transfer the right of use to the Jiashan County Dry Kiln Bearing Association to engage in electroplating production and processing. Shuangfei Bearing Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the production and sales of oil-free lubrication bearing products. The production and operation projects do not include the electroplating process.

In response to the illegal acts of Shuangfei Bearing, the Jiashan County Environmental Protection Bureau issued a decision on administrative penalty on March 4, 2014: The company was ordered to stop the production of the electroplating shop immediately, and it was approved through the environmental review, and a fine of RMB 10,000 was collected.

The masses complained again: the production of enterprises is still difficult for environmental protection law enforcement: punishment has a performance cycle

Can the punishment make the company wake up? not necessarily!

According to the complainant's report, although the environmental protection department has verified the violation of the law and issued a corresponding penalty decision, the company’s production continues. It did not stop production due to a paper document from the environmental protection department.

Is the fact reflected by the people? The reporter interviewed Wang Weifeng, chief of the law and regulations publicity section of the Jiashan County Environmental Protection Bureau.

Wang Weifeng admitted that the company electroplating workshop is still in production.

Can companies ignore environmental penalties?

“The environmental protection department has not enforced the enforcement power.” Wang Weifeng said: “According to the regulations, the company should immediately stop the illegal activities, and within 15 days from the date of receiving the penalty decision, the penalty shall be paid. However, if the company refuses to accept the punishment decision, There are still two months to apply for administrative reconsideration. Even if an enterprise fails to apply for administrative reconsideration and does not perform the punishment decision within the overdue period, our environmental protection department can only apply to the people's court according to law to enforce it."

Enterprises are also using this point to delay the implementation of penalties.

As one of the leading companies in the local pillar industries and the chairman of the industry association, the person in charge of Zhejiang Shuangfei Bearing Co., Ltd. not only did not set an example, but instead played an old Lai psychology on the issue of environmental protection violations, and was able to delay. Such a "leadership" is really the attitude of a president of the association?

Where are the pollutants such as heavy metals and cyanide?

In addition, since the company does not have qualification for electroplating process, how to deal with the pollutants produced in the production process? Where does heavy metal, cyanide wastewater, and exhaust gas go?

With the promulgation of the two high judicial interpretations, the illegal discharge of heavy metals and other pollutants more than three times the standard will constitute a "serious environmental pollution crime," ranging from criminal detention to criminal punishment of 3 to 7 years, and will no longer be a fine. It's that simple.
