The No 5 working group, led by the district housing and urban-rural development bureau, was set up for Sanhekou village. The group elected to conducted investigations and remediation tasks at the same time.

According to Ding Yajun, head of the housing and urban-rural development bureau, the group should eliminate the hidden hazards while not unduly disturbing residents.
