Incidents
July 2010 acid incident
On July 3 and July 16, 2010 acid waste escaped the Fujian province copper plant and into the Ting River. The accident was said to be the size of the BP deepwater oil spill.[4] The copper plant manager, deputy manager and head of environment were detained because the company waited nine days before revealing the spill.[5]
Sept 2010 dam collapse
In September 2010, four people were killed when a dam collapsed at the Xinyi Yinyan tin mine, following heavy rain.[6] The dam collapse was said to be caused by rainfall generated by a typhoon occurring only once in more than 200 years.[5]
