Beijing orders removal of garbage near reservoir
BEIJING, Feb 24, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
Beijing authorities have ordered
removal of the garbage in a pit near the Miyun Reservoir, a major
source of water for the city, the local environmental protection
bureau said late Sunday.
According to a statement issued by the bureau at its official
microblogging site, the Miyun County Government has ordered all
household garbage dumped in the pit at the Bulaotun Township be
cleared by Monday noon.
The order was issued Thursday after the environmental
protection hotline received complaints about garbage burial in the
pit.
The pit, which was left following a waterway dredging project
in 2009, has posed threat to the water quality of the nearby river
and reservoir, said the statement, although monitoring results
showed the water quality had not been affected so far.
The Miyun County Government will carry out an overall
inspection nearby the reservoir to eradicate similar risks that
may affect the water quality, the bureau said.
