$32,000 to go swimming?

Would you go swimming in this river? A Chinese man is offering a reward of $32,000 if an environmental official will go swimming. The catch however is that he must go swimming in the river found near the city Rui'an that is extremely polluted from dumping. The biggest question in all of this is why hasn't the environmental agency done anything to help clean this up and prevent it from happening in the future?
