Land Bureau Charges Million "Paul" Brick Kiln Destroyed

Linquan County, Zhouzhuang Town, single Village Town Village lease a large number of agricultural land for placing brick.

According to Xinhua news agency, the central government has repeatedly refused to touch 1 billion 800 million mu of arable land "red line", while Linquan County, Anhui Province, where 90% cultivated land is the basic farmland protection area, 7000 acres of arable land were hundreds of "uncertified" clay.

"Through the payment of money, the unauthorized brick kiln factory wanton illegal occupation of land, is bound to seriously trample on the basic farmland protection area, this is sticking to the" red line "of cultivated land runs counter to it.

Cheng Biding, former vice chairman of the Regional Economic Association of China, believes that government departments only charge no supervision, which has formed a terrible community of interests with brick kiln factories.

The brick kiln factory became the government's "rocking Qian Shu", releasing the dangerous signal.

Destroyed 7000 mu of cultivated land

The land used in the brick factory has no approval

Linquan county is a large agricultural county in Anhui Province, with a total population of about 2 million 300 thousand people, with 1 million 862 thousand mu of cultivated land and basic farmland.

A farmer in Chen Village, Zhouzhuang Town, told reporters that a kiln factory was built in the village, which needed land. "I rent it to 4.2 Mu contract area of a kiln factory, with an annual rent of 4200 yuan."

For some farmers, selling land to kiln factories is helpless.

Yang Qiao town cold house villagers talk about Kexin (a pseudonym) told reporters that if they did not sell the land to the owner of the kiln, the kiln would dig deep pits on the farmers' land and collapse naturally in the rain. Many farmers would be forced to sell land in order to reduce the losses.

Wang Chunyu, deputy director of the Bureau of land and resources of Linquan County, said that according to the estimation of the annual production capacity of about 18 million bricks or so, the brick kiln in the whole county could accumulate 1000 mu of arable land in 1 years in 1 years.

According to regulations, it is forbidden to occupy farmland for building kilns, but now there are 116 brick kiln factories that have obtained the mining license number.

Taking into account the principle of "who signs who is responsible" for land approval procedures, several officials of the land management department have no chance to sign. As a result, the temporary land use of 152 local brick kilns has not been approved for land use, and all of them are suspected of illegal production.

Linquan county land and Resources Bureau staff and former shareholder Zhang Wenhai admitted that the county's kiln factories accumulated illegal, illegal occupation of land more than 7000 mu.

"Collective" fees, "guaranteed" production

Regulators become "umbrella"

Why can a lot of brick and kiln factory have no land approval procedures for a long time to occupy a lot of land and crazily "eat the land"?

"If a brick kiln factory wants to" harmony "production, it must pay 200 thousand yuan each year.

Xing Shunli, the head of a brick kiln in Yang Qiao Town, Linquan County, said that because of the larger kiln, the annual tax paid to him was about 200000 yuan.

If we don't pay, we can't burn bricks.

During the Spring Festival every year, even the money that condolences to the five insured households is given by the brick kiln factory.

It is under the umbrella that the owners of Linquan brick kiln earn a lot of money.

Niu Kun, director of a brick kiln in Niu Zhuang Ning village, said that an ordinary round kiln with an annual output of 20 million bricks will cost about about 1000000 yuan. According to the profit of 7 yuan per brick, the annual profit can be up to 1 million 400 thousand yuan.

How many departments are charging? "Like the IRS, the Local Taxation Bureau, the Land Bureau and other departments all collect fees, usually call, limit the number of days, where to pay, otherwise, the kiln will have to rectify or stop production, so the loss will be greater."

Qi Chao (a pseudonym) said, "for these departments to pay, half of the Department to invoice is good, the rest are white."

Reporters learned that the land and resources bureau is a truly "big fee".

According to a financial data of the Bureau, in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010, the whole county brick kiln plant had to pay 4 fees, including mineral resources compensation fees, mining royalties, mining rights fees and land reclamation fees, which reached 7 million 181 thousand yuan and 7 million 436 thousand yuan respectively.

On the two payment list, the reporter saw that the list of 106 owners of the kiln factory was listed on the top, the maximum payment was 128 thousand yuan, and the minimum payment was 20 thousand yuan.

Who will manage the destroyed farmland?

Relevant functional departments

Shirk responsibility

In view of the prevalence of clay brick kilns, local people complained about it. "Who will manage the illegal occupation and destruction of land?" because the brick kiln factory belongs to the non coal mine series, the reporter came to Linquan County, director of the non coal mine.

Li Chengxian, director of the Commission, said that the County Commission could only play a coordinating role and not directly manage, because the mining license, the production safety license and the business license were issued by other departments. "We have not issued any certificates, nor have specific enforcement powers. How do you tell us how to manage brick kiln factories?"

Ding Nansheng, deputy director of the Anhui Provincial Commission for non coal industry, said that from the land management law of our country on prohibiting the occupation of cultivated land for building kilns, the departments concerned issued the license numbers for mining rights to these brick kiln factories, and if they occupied farmland, it was suspected to be illegal.

The brick kiln factory occupies a lot of land for production. On the one hand, the land department has not examined and approved, but on the other hand, it has been charging heavily. This behavior is also illegal.

Instead, the Linquan county land and Resources Bureau avoided the answer to the "charging behavior" of the illegal brick factory which the reporter asked. Instead, he shifted the topic to the difficulty of banning the brick kiln factory.

Li Dongsheng, deputy director of the county land and Resources Bureau, said: Although the land department of the county has the right to handle, register and investigate the illegal land cases, it only involves the suppression of the closure of the brick kiln works. Only the people's governments at or above the county level can carry out the work. If no other departments cooperate, it is clear that the goal of banning the closure can not be achieved.

The reporter also found that the Environmental Protection Bureau of Linquan County issued the report on pollution reduction in the 1-5 month of 2011 in June 8th. The county government has not issued a government document to stop clay brick brick and tile kiln in recent two years.
