An earthworm farm in Zhushan Town, Nantou County has been illegally collecting and transporting food waste to feed earthworms for many years, resulting in a strong odor in the area, which may affect the health of local people and trigger public complaints. County councilor Chen Yuling pointed out during the county government's general inquiry that the businesses continued to operate as usual every day after paying a small amount of fines. The residents were miserable and complained that "every day they eat with the smell of shit." They demanded that the county government forcefully cut off water and electricity as soon as possible in accordance with the law and return clean air to residents.
In this regard, Su Ruixiang, director of the County Agriculture Department, responded that the earthworm farm was originally established in the name of a chicken farm and is no longer actually engaged in raising chickens. The county government has revoked its animal husbandry registration certificate. However, the operator is not satisfied with the petition. After the county government's defense, if the Ministry of Agriculture decides to maintain the original withdrawal of the certificate, the county government will enforce it in accordance with the law.

Li Yishu, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, said that the farm illegally collected and transported food waste and produced a stench. The Environmental Protection Bureau has issued a total fine of 5 million yuan in accordance with the "Air Pollution Prevention Law" and the "Waste Cleanup Law". The operator has currently paid a fine of 195,000 yuan, and the unpaid fine will be transferred for enforcement. After the Agriculture Department completes the company registration cancellation process, the water and electricity can be cut off. In addition, the prosecutor has also intervened to investigate whether the company is involved in criminal liability under the abolition of cleanup laws.
Speaker He Shengfeng emphasized that Nantou County welcomes legal enterprises, but the county government must show public power for illegal operators who go their own way and refuse to improve. If the long administrative proceedings are waited for, it may be delayed for several years. The county government should take the initiative and respond proactively to maintain the living environment of residents.
