RESIDENTS in an east China village are being relocated several kilometers away after waste from a nearby garbage plant allegedly killed all their crops and fish.
The local government has finally announced the relocation after confirming a long history of complaints from the villagers, Anhuinews.com reported today.
The plant in Ziyuan Village of Anhui Province's Lu'an City,, the only garbage burial site in the city, has been handling 300 tons a day of household garbage since it opened in 2006.
Black fluid, or discharges from the spoiled garbage, had flooded nearby farming land and ponds, killing nearly all the living crops and animals, villagers told the Website.
"It is now impossible to find anything living in the field or ponds," Zhu Jialun said.
"Particularly on rainy days, the fluid wells up and floods more fields," she added.
Her description was backed by environment professor Jiang Zhenghua with East China University of Science and Technology.
Jiang said such discharges usually contained 22 types of pollutants. Crops growing near such discharges were unsafe to eat and the land could be seriously poisoned.
A governmental examination also confirmed the pollution complaints, according to Xu Haifeng, official with Lu'an Environment Supervising Team.
The garbage plant's owner Lu'an City Environment Sanitation Development Co Ltd was punished, Xu said without specifying the penalties.
