Chinese, Simplified
A Property Management Company contracted with an Environmental Protection Company for the Environmental Protection Company to dispose of wastewater from an industrial park (containing several electroplating enterprises), using wastewater disposal equipment owned by the Property Management Company. Law enforcement officers of the Chongqing Municipal Environmental Supervision Corps found that neither the two total chromium reactors nor one integrated reactor facility in the wastewater disposal station was operational, and that wastewater containing heavy metals was being discharged into the external environment without disposal.
The Chongqing Municipal Environmental Supervision Corps fined the Property Management Company, and the Company applied for administrative review of the fine before Chongqing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau which reaffirmed the penalty. Subsequently, the Property Management Company filed an action with the Primary People's Court of Yubei District of Chongqing Municipality, requesting to overturn the administrative penalty decision and the administrative review decision. The Primary People's Court of Yubei District of Chongqing Municipality reaffirmed the administrative judgment.
Alongside this, the People's Procuratorate of Yubei District of Chongqing Municipality initiated a public prosecution before the Primary People's Court of Yubei District of Chongqing Municipality, accusing the Environmental Protection Company of pollution. The Company and Cheng et al were found guilty of the offence.
