Recently, the online blogger “Fishing and Hunting Qi Ge” posted that a “milk river” appeared in Dachiao Village, Zhaozhou County, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. The water was milky white, sticky, and emits a bad smell, seriously polluting the ecological environment. Villagers reported that it was caused by sewage discharge from the garlic tablet factory. On the afternoon of August 7, a staff member of the Zhaozhou Bureau of Ecology and Environment said that after becoming aware of this situation, they immediately reported it to the county committee and county government, and immediately set up a special team to test the water samples, and the relevant departments carried out sewage absorption and disposal. The person in charge of the garlic tablet factory of the enterprise involved had been controlled by the relevant departments in accordance with the law. The staff member mentioned above told the reporter that the garlic tablet factory involved has a complete license and is not a “three no” factory. The annual production cycle is just over 10 days. Recently, there has been extreme torrential rain in the area. The water is a ditch formed naturally after being washed away, not a river. Furthermore, the staff member said that either “every year this season emits a large amount of milky white and irritating wastewater,” as stated in the online post, or that this year was only due to extreme weather.
