According to the content of the report,As early as September 2022, people have reported to the Fengshun Branch of the Meizhou Ecological Environment Bureau that someone was dumping solid waste in Rongshujiao, Hou'an Village, Tangkeng Town. After entrusting a hazardous waste identification agency to sample and test the dumping site, in April 2023, the Fengshun County Public Security Bureau filed a case for investigation.

Zhang Shunliang, deputy director of the Fengshun branch of the Meizhou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, said that after receiving the report, an agency had been commissioned to sample and test the dumping site, and the identification report showed that the landfill did not have the dangerous characteristics of leaching toxicity exceeding the standardHowever, it has the dangerous characteristics of excessive toxic substance content and belongs to hazardous waste.
