Shagang Group pollution rectification and Yangtze riverbank steel slag stockpiling flagged in inspection notice
In June 2018, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment notified that Shagang Group's rectification of smoke and dust pollution was perfunctory and that solid waste stockpiling and other problems existed, noting that Shagang and Yonggang had together piled about 2.3 million tonnes of steel slag on the Yangtze riverbank, threatening water ecological security. This entry records an environmental event associated with Shagang Group; the 2.3 million tonnes is the combined figure for the two groups and is not entirely attributed to a single company.
