An aerial photo shows a massive seepage pit used to dispose of the toxic wastewater. It is located 6 km from the main facility of the Datang Hexigten Qi plant (background). The plant is incapable of completely treating all of the wastewater it produces and achieve its claimed 'zero discharge' goal. Its only option is to store the large amount of industrial wastewater (highly concentrated salt water) in massive evaporation pools, such as this, which have turned into manmade lakes of wastewater. China’s flagship coal-to-gas pilot project is already breaking national standards on air and water pollution, according to an on-the-ground investigation by Greenpeace China.
