Riverside police

Chen Gong is not only the chief engineer of the Water Conservancy Bureau, but also a member of the Party Committee of the Water Conservancy Bureau. He returned to Linghai from the riverside survey and immediately reported to Director Yang.

Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian paid great attention to the crazy sand mining in the Linghai section of the Yangtze River. They actually asked the Finance Bureau to allocate 50,000 yuan to Xu Sanye's apprentice from the Water Conservancy Bureau. In addition, the flood season will begin in two months. When it comes to the Yangtze River embankments, the Water Conservancy Bureau must pay more attention.

After listening to the report, Director Yang felt that Apprentice Xu Sanye had a good idea, and immediately rushed to Binjiang Water Conservancy Bureau with Gong Chen.

Deputy Director Liao, who was in charge of water administration at the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, figured out their purpose and immediately called the heads of the legal affairs department and water administration supervision brigade who were about to get off work, asking them to come to the small conference room on the fourth floor for a meeting.

They are all from the water conservancy system, and they are all acquaintances, so no introduction or politeness is needed.

Considering that it was already time to get off work and everyone wanted to go home for dinner, Director Liao asked Mr. Chen to introduce the situation.

Captain Huang roughly understood what he understood. He held his chin and asked: "Mr. Chen, disorderly and indiscriminate mining of river sand may lead to the collapse of the river embankment, but that is the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River has a Water Conservancy Commission. Our local water conservancy department is responsible for illegal sand mining on the river." Is there jurisdiction?”

"Yes, I have brought all the required documents."

Mr. Chen opened his briefcase and took out two copies of laws and regulations.

Section Chief Teng of the Legal Affairs Section of the Binjiang Water Conservancy Bureau is a well-known expert on laws and regulations in the Binjiang Water Conservancy System. As soon as Captain Huang took over the document, Section Chief Teng raised his head and said: "The Regulations of the People's Republic of China on River Management promulgated in 1988." "For the management of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, water system management is required to be combined with hierarchical management. In theory, people's governments at or above the county level have the authority to manage them."

Deputy Director Liao asked: "Actually?"

"Director Liao, you know the actual situation. It sounds like as long as there are embankments in the river, the waters between the two banks, sandbanks, beaches, flood areas and embankments are under our water conservancy management, but the fact is that we can only discover it during flood control. Only when there is a problem will the superiors think of our water conservancy."

This is undoubtedly an awkward topic.

Although rivers and farmland water conservancy are all under water conservancy management, now everything is centered on economic construction, and water conservancy, especially water law enforcement departments, cannot manage much.

To take the most common example, when the transportation department builds a road and encounters a river, it is required to consult with the water conservancy before building a bridge. There are standards for how high a bridge should be built, but will they discuss it with you? I will tell you that it is for you. face.

Especially when building urban and rural highways, local governments are reluctant to even build bridges to save costs. Instead, they directly take earth and build dams to build roads, cutting off the flow of a good river.

When waterlogging occurs and the swollen river water cannot be discharged due to blockage of the river channel, the superiors will think of water conservancy and may even ask you why you didn't stop it at that time.

There are also many township markets along the river, and nearby people want to build houses in the markets. There are not so many housing sites, so they make a fuss on the river.

They pay attention to driving piles in the river and building the house on the river, which is a veritable floating home.

They simply fill the river with soil and occupy the river channel to build houses.

The village agreed, and the township government may have collected money from them. If you went over and said they were breaking the law, they wouldn't pay attention to you.

The document also requires that no nets be blocked in the river, and no fixed nets can be set down, otherwise it will affect the drainage of waterlogging and floods.

But in fact, there are only a few major shipping rivers in Binjiang without dams. Almost all other rivers are contracted by villages and even townships to raise fish. It is almost impossible to find a river without dams.

There are many nets blocked near the drainage gate. The drainage gate is usually unattended. The people watching the fishing nets even live in the drainage facilities at the gate.

As for illegal well digging, that's a joke. Who doesn't have a well in the countryside? If you were stupid enough to investigate, you would be scolded.

In short, the jurisdiction of water administration is very wide, but there are very few things that can actually be managed.

The Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau's Water Supervision and Law Enforcement Team was established at the end of last year. It has four people in total and is responsible for water supervision and law enforcement and the investigation and handling of water cases throughout Binjiang.

However, since its establishment, it has neither conducted much supervision nor investigated and dealt with water-related cases.

The three cases investigated and dealt with last year were caused by city leaders discovering problems when inspecting flood control work and asking the water administration inspection brigade to investigate and deal with them.

There are only a few people and no funds. Superiors do not pay much attention to it, and there is no support from relevant departments. The work has always been passive.

As a result, I didn’t know how to write when I summarized my work achievements at the end of last year, so I had to invite a "talent" from the Dongqi Water Conservancy Bureau who was particularly good at writing to help.

That "scholar" lived up to expectations, wrote brilliantly, and finally summed it up in eight words: Investigate and punish one incident, educate the other!

Thinking of this, Captain Huang smiled bitterly and asked: "Mr. Chen, there is some kind of resistance to our supervision and law enforcement on inland rivers. If you ask us to go to the river to enforce the law, doesn't that mean we are going to fight? The fishery administration has gone to the river to enforce the law." , As far as I know, anyone who has ever caught eel fry on the river has been beaten!"

Chief Teng was convinced and raised his head and said: "We need people but no people, no boats, no funds, how can we go to the river to enforce the law?"

Comrade Lao Huang didn't want to wade into the muddy water, so he muttered again: "I know those sand miners don't have fuel-efficient lamps. If you block their way of making money, they will really dare to fight you!"

His subordinates were afraid of difficulties, and Deputy Director Liao was embarrassed.

The city's work is not as active as the lower districts and counties, and the city's work is not as good as the lower districts and counties. It can be said to be Binjiang's tradition.

Director Yang of the Linghai Water Conservancy Bureau suddenly felt a strong sense of superiority and pride. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Huang Da, your news is too old. The fishery administration has been beaten for a long time. At least I haven't heard it in the past five or six years." I have said that a fishery official was beaten for going to the river to enforce the law."

"real?"

"If you don't believe me, you can call Binjiang Fishery Administration Station and ask."

Director Yang put out his cigarette butt and explained: "In recent years, the Binjiang Fishery Administration Station and the Donghai District Fishery Administration Binjiang Station have been assisting the Shuishang Public Security Bureau, Changhang Public Security Bureau and our Linghai Public Security Bureau when they went to the river to investigate and deal with illegal eel fishing. . Anyone who dares to violently resist the law will be arrested if found!"

Comrade Lao Huang was doubtful and muttered: "The police assist fishery administration, but they may not necessarily assist us in water administration. We have never dealt with them."

"Huang Da, Chen Gong and I have just reported this matter to Bureau Liao. As long as your team is willing to go to the river to investigate, I can guarantee that the Water Public Security Bureau, Changhang Public Security Bureau, Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau and our Linghai Public Security Bureau will fully assist you. "

Director Yang waved his hand and then changed the subject: "If your brigade is not interested, then Gong Chen and I will apply to the municipal party committee and government to form a water law enforcement team after we return. But we may not be able to make it in time, and the water law enforcement team will be formed We can only investigate and deal with the sand mining in our Linghai section."

In terms of water administration supervision and law enforcement, Binjiang Water Conservancy Bureau is the only one in Binjiang, and there is no other branch.

Comrade Lao Huang realized that if he didn't do it, the districts and counties below would do it. He couldn't help but ask: "Director Yang, will the police and the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority really help us?"

"Huang Da, you have often gone to Linghai to inspect our work. Do you have any impressions of Xu Sanye from the Linghai Public Security Bureau?"

"I have an impression that Xu Sanye used to preside over the work of the Linghai Public Security Bureau. In the past, we would inspect the river embankments and sea embankments in Linghai. Every time we went to inspect, we would see him on the embankment."

"Xu Sanye has an apprentice named Xianyu. He has been responsible for the security of the riverside and rivers for these years. He used to work at the Yanjiang Police Station of our Linghai Public Security Bureau, and then went to the Shuangshui Public Security Bureau for a temporary job, and then was transferred to the Changhang Branch. He served as deputy detachment leader for two years, and now he has been transferred back to the Linghai Public Security Bureau as the branch director of the Development Zone Bureau."

Director Yang smiled and continued: "He was the one who discovered that someone was mining river sand indiscriminately on the river. Our Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian took it very seriously and asked him to fully assist us in the investigation. At the same time, we asked our Water Conservancy Bureau to ensure the safety of the river embankment."

Lao Huang was deeply impressed by the wild Xu Sanye from the Linghai Public Security Bureau, and subconsciously asked: "What is Xu Sanye responsible for now?"

"Xu Sanye has been dead for several years. He died of bone cancer."

"Xu Sanye is dead!"

"Um."

"He is not very old. He was very young when he took charge of the work of the Linghai Public Security Bureau. He is several years younger than me."

"Good people don't live long, Huang Da, let's not talk about Xu Sanye, let's talk about business."

"OK."

Comrade Lao Huang calmed down and looked through the regulations and said: "With the assistance of the public security and the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority, we can investigate and deal with it. The problem now is how to investigate and deal with it. There seems to be no corresponding penalty details for sand mining."

Chen Gong had already done some research on the way to Binjiang and raised his head and said: "The province and city may have considered that the Yangtze River is mainly under the jurisdiction of the Changhang Navigation Bureau and the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission, and indeed have not formulated detailed penalties for mining sand on the river without permission. , but we are not helpless.”

"Are there any regulations that I can refer to?"

"It's not a reference, it can be used directly."

Chen Gong took the document from Comrade Lao Huang and turned to the second page: "The penalties in the River Management Regulations of the People's Republic of China are clearly written. For those who manage rivers without permission or in accordance with the regulations of the river management authority, Sand mining, soil extraction, gold panning, disposal of sand, gravel or silt, blasting, and drilling within the scope.

In addition to correcting illegal acts and taking remedial measures, the river course authorities of the people's governments at or above the county level may also impose warnings, fines, and confiscate illegal income; if public security management penalties should be imposed, they shall be punished in accordance with the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Penalties"; Those who constitute a crime will be held criminally responsible in accordance with the law! "

Director Yang also studied laws and regulations on the way here, and smiled sideways: "Director Liao, our Jiangnan Province's river management regulations also have relevant provisions."

Deputy Director Liao nodded slightly.

Chief Teng of the Legal Department raised his head and said: "Bureau Yang, Mr. Chen, these two regulations are not specific enough. What's the use of warnings? Will those sand miners listen to our warnings? If there is a fine, how much will it be? There is no standard." Penalty details. As for the confiscation of illegal gains, it does have a certain deterrent effect, but it is not that easy to do."

"With the assistance of public security, it is not that difficult to confiscate illegal gains."

"Bureau Yang, the police have public security work. They can assist us once or twice, but they cannot assist us every day."

"Don't worry about this. Xianyu said that he will help to the end just like assisting the fishery administration to protect the Yangtze River fishery resources. He and his master have been assisting the fishery administration to combat illegal fishing of eel fry since 1988, and they have been assisting until today. , never stopped.”

"He doesn't have to do other work?"

"No, although he is the director of the Development Zone Bureau, he only cares about things along the river and on the river."

As soon as Director Yang finished speaking, Comrade Huang frowned and said: "Although it offends people to confiscate illegal income, we can continue to do this work as long as the public security assists us. The problem is that even if the illegal income of the sand mining bosses is confiscated, It’s also difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.”

Deputy Director Liao didn't know much about the sand mining industry and asked in a low voice: "Why can't it be solved?"

"Director Liao, you don't know how quickly those sand miners make money. Even if we can successfully confiscate their illegal gains, they can make a lot of money by mining sand on the river for a few days. They went to the river to mine ten times. , as long as they are not caught by us once, they will make money."

As soon as Lao Huang finished speaking, Chief Teng said thoughtfully: "From a judicial practice point of view, it is difficult to hold them criminally responsible. At least I have never heard of anyone being sentenced for sand mining."

Deputy Director Liao reacted: "The cost of breaking the law is low, at most we can spend money to eliminate disasters?"

Chief Teng said helplessly: "Absolutely."

If the river embankment collapses due to sand mining, the water conservancy bureau will be in trouble if there is a flood.

Chen Gong felt that the two people from the municipal bureau had no courage after sitting in the office for too long, so he opened the regulations again and emphasized: "There are no details or standards for fines at the moment, but the national and provincial river management regulations also say that Correct their illegal behavior and take remedial measures.

What do you mean by remedial measures? They mean that they have made the bottom of the river puddled, and they have to restore it to its original state!

You should know how expensive the construction of rivers and waterways is. They make 100,000 yuan from illegal sand mining, but if they want to take remedial measures to restore the original state, they will definitely not be able to do it without 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. "

How to solve the problem once and for all is to make those sand mining bosses afraid.

The more Deputy Director Liao thought about it, the more he realized that Chen Gong's words made sense. He knocked on the table and said with a smile: "Just use this method to treat them. Investigate and punish one case, educate them all. As long as you are determined to investigate and punish one or two, I don't believe that anyone will dare to test the law!" "

Illegal gains can be confiscated and those who illegally mine sand can "take remedial measures"...

Comrade Lao Huang felt that something was going on in this matter, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Bureau Yang, Worker Chen, and the police are assisting us in the investigation. Have they made any requests for funds?"

As expected of an old comrade, I know that my help will not be in vain.

Director Yang looked back at Director Liao and said with a smile: "Xianyu said that you can't go without a boat when going to the river to enforce law. He can borrow a law enforcement boat from the Water Branch, the Port Supervision Bureau and the Customs, but the fuel cost will have to be borne by your brigade."

"You know the situation of our team, how can we have any money!"

“You can record the money first and then give it to them in the future when the illegal gains are not received.”

"no problem."

"Furthermore, cracking down on illegal sand mining is not only assisting you in water law enforcement, but also assisting the Port Supervision in law enforcement. After all, those sand mining and sand transporting vessels have affected water traffic safety. The Port Supervision Bureau considers that without the assistance of public security, the work will be difficult. Difficult to do, promise to sponsor them a patrol boat."

Director Yang paused and then continued: "Xianyu promises to fully assist in water law enforcement. At the same time, he also implores the Water Conservancy Bureau to sponsor a patrol boat for the Water Conservancy Bureau if there are any fines and confiscations in the future. After all, cracking down on illegal sand mining will ensure The safety of our Binjiang and Yangtze River embankments is a long-term task, and nothing can be accomplished without law enforcement vessels."

The Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau is notoriously wealthy.

So many air conditioners were installed in the 1980s. Later, a traffic control building and an office building were built. The traffic control building can be called a landmark of Binjiang.

The situation of the Water Conservancy Bureau is only slightly better than that of the Agriculture Bureau. Can it compare with the rich and powerful Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau?

Deputy Director Liao was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "How much does it cost to purchase a patrol boat."

"Six hundred thousand."

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Director Liao, six hundred thousand sounds like a lot, but as long as Huang Da is determined to investigate and punish those who mine sand, not to mention six hundred thousand, even six million can be obtained."

Chen Gong took the conversation, looked at Comrade Huang with a smile and said: "Huang Da, I went to the river with Xianyu to survey today. Xianyu said that the harbor supervisor has a surveillance boat, and your water administration should also be equipped with a surveillance boat. I think this is An opportunity, if it weren’t for the lack of time, Director Yang and I would not come to you.”

The national and provincial river management regulations clearly state that water management agencies at or above the county bureau level have the authority to manage them.

In other words, the Linghai Conservancy Bureau can also form a water management supervision and law enforcement team.

It's just that superiors now have high requirements for law enforcement officers. They must first participate in professional training organized by the Water Resources Department, and then take the exam. Only those who pass the test can obtain a law enforcement certificate.

If the superiors' requirements were not so strict and they could just put up a sign and bring a receipt for the fine as before, then the Linghai Water Conservancy Bureau would not have to ask the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau.

You have to pay for gas, and you also have to give someone a patrol boat worth 600,000 yuan. Who is willing to do that?

But without the assistance of the public security and port supervisors, and relying on a few people from the Water Supervision Brigade, this matter would definitely not be possible. The "six million" mentioned by Chen Gong would only be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

Deputy Director Liao weighed it up, raised his head and said: "Bureau Yang, Mr. Chen, I don't have any say in such a big matter. I have to report it to Director Cai, and even have it discussed at the party group meeting."

I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

How can there be any reward if you don’t invest?

Director Yang believed that the leaders of the municipal bureau should understand this truth and said with a smile: "There is no urgency about sponsoring patrol boats. The top priority is to investigate and deal with it quickly."

Section Chief Huang didn't expect that the public security police would have such a big appetite. He asked for a patrol boat worth 600,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but ask: "Director Yang, you just said that salty fish is now the director of the Development Zone Bureau of Linghai Public Security Bureau. , can he represent the Shuishang Public Security Bureau and the Changhang Navigation Bureau?”

"able."

"Where's the Port Superintendent?"

"It works just as well."

"Whether he, the branch director, is a principal or a deputy, can he have the final say on such a big matter? Moreover, the Changhang Branch and the Port Supervision Bureau are different from our Water Conservancy Bureau. They are managed vertically."

"Although he is only a deputy department now, he really has the final say on Jiang Shang's affairs."

"Is it because I worked in the Water Branch and the Changhang Navigation Branch?"

"He not only worked in the Water Branch and Changhang Navigation Bureau, but he also grew up watching the leaders of the Water Branch, Changhang Navigation Bureau, Port Supervision Bureau and Customs."

That kid was really a different kind. Not many people on the shore knew him. Maybe even a lot of police officers from the Linghai Public Security Bureau had never seen him, but he was thriving on the river.

Director Yang thought about it and smiled again: "Deputy Director Zhu Chunmiao of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau not only watched him grow up, but was also his matchmaker. His lover worked in the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau and is now at the Linghai Port Supervision Division of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau. Director."

Lao Huang and Section Chief Teng didn't know who Zhu Chunmiao was, but Deputy Director Liao knew it very well and asked in shock: "Does he know Mayor Qin?"

Director Yang nodded and confirmed: "He is the one Mayor Qin watched growing up."

"Understood."

Deputy Director Liao no longer hesitated and stood up and said: "Old Huang, your brigade will focus on investigating and punishing illegal sand mining. Chief Teng, your legal department will fully assist the Water Supervision Brigade in investigating and punishing illegal sand mining. Take the time to thoroughly study the relevant laws and regulations!”
