Is waste secretly buried next to the water source area of Wushantou Reservoir? Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau will conduct an excavation and thorough investigation tomorrow

The Tainan City Environmental Protection Alliance received a named report. It is only about 200 meters away from the tap water quality and quantity protection zone of Wushantou Reservoir. It is suspected that unscrupulous operators are illegally dumping unknown waste. The environmental protection group immediately launched a drone aerial inspection today and found that the dumping site yesterday had been covered with soil and leveled today. It was suspected that they were trying to destroy evidence, and the soil-covering monster involved in the case even deliberately hid in the surrounding woods.

The environmental protection group has urgently filed a report with the Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau, the Southern District Environmental Management Center of the Ministry of Environment's Environmental Management Agency, and the Tainan City Investigation Division of the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau, requesting that the inspection and environmental protection authorities immediately enter the site to excavate and take samples to strictly prevent the drinking water sources of millions of people in Tainan from being contaminated.

The Tainan Environmental Alliance and other environmental groups said that high-altitude footage showed that there were large areas of different soil textures and colors at the reported site, and clear and dense traces of compaction and bulldozing by crawler heavy machinery were left on the surface, indicating that there had been intensive and continuous land preparation and burial operations in recent days. The aerial shot also clearly captured a yellow excavator hiding inside, proving that the scene had just been completed with the tactic of "dumping the waste and then covering it up with soil" to avoid detection.

The Environmental Protection Bureau said that after receiving a notification from the police on the afternoon of November 4, the Environmental Protection Bureau immediately sent personnel to inspect the scene together with the police. They found an excavator at the scene and obvious signs of land preparation and dumping of earth on the surface. After preliminary visual inspection, although no clear waste burial has been found, considering that there are signs of land preparation and covering of soil at the site, whether unknown waste is buried underground still needs further verification. Therefore, soil samples have been collected and sent for inspection. Tomorrow (6), we will dig and inspect with the police, landowners and relevant units to clarify whether illegal burial is involved.

Aerial photography of the surrounding area revealed that the strange hand was hiding in the surrounding woods. (Provided by Tainan Environmental Alliance)
