Public Notice from the Zhangqiu Branch of the Jinan Ecology and Environment Bureau regarding the approval opinions on the environmental impact assessment document for a construction project scheduled to be approved on April 30, 2020 (Riyue Chemical Industry). Project Name: Project to Upgrade the Ammonia (Alcohol) Production Facility Using Pressurized Gasification Technology. Contractor: Shandong Jinmei Riyue Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Evaluation Agency: Shandong Qingke Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. Project Overview: The project to upgrade the ammonia (alcohol) production facility using pressurized gasification technology carried out by Shandong Jinmei Riyue Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is located within the existing factory complex of this company in the Chemical Industry Park in Di Town, Zhangqiu District, Jinan. The total investment in this project is 1,550 million yuan. The main construction activities include: (1) Building one new synthetic ammonia production unit with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons (comprising a coal crushing and pressurized gasification furnace and a water-coal slurry gasification furnace, one in use and one as a backup), while phasing out the existing synthetic ammonia production unit with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons that also produces 70,000 tons of methanol per year； (2) Build 1 new 100,000 t/a hydrogen peroxide production plant and phase out 2 existing 15,000 t/a hydrogen peroxide production plants ； (3) Install 2 new high-temperature and high-pressure circulating fluidized bed boilers with a capacity of 150 t/h each (1 in use and 1 as backup), and phase out the existing 4 medium-temperature and medium-pressure circulating fluidized bed boilers with a capacity of 75 t/h each. Upon completion of this project, the plant’s annual production capacity of 370,000 tons of amine alcohols per year will remain unchanged (of which 200,000 tons are liquid ammonia, 70,000 tons correspond to methanol produced from supplied syngas, and 100,000 tons are monoalcohols), as will the production capacity of 100,000 tons of hydrogen peroxide per year. On May 30, 2019, the project obtained the approval document for construction projects in Shandong Province (2019-370100-26-03-026190). On October 23, 2019, the Development and Reform Bureau of Zhangqiu District, Jinan City issued its review opinion on the plan for reducing coal consumption as a substitute for it in this project (Document No. Zhang Fa Gai Zi [2019] 81), granting principle approval to such a plan. Main environmental impacts and strategies and measures to prevent or mitigate adverse environmental impacts: The collection and drainage systems, reclaimed water treatment facilities, and sewage treatment facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the principles of separating rainwater from wastewater, separating clean water from polluted water, and treating water according to its quality. 1. All types of wastewater must be collected and treated at newly built sewage treatment plants and reclaimed water reuse systems. After treatment, the wastewater meets the standards set for key protection areas in the \"Comprehensive Discharge Standards for Water Pollutants in River Basins – Part 3: Xiaoqing River Basin\" (DB37/3416.3-2018), the \"Discharge Standards for Water Pollutants in the Synthetic Ammonia Industry\" (GB13458-2013), Table 3 of the \"Discharge Standards for Pollutants in the Petrochemical Industry\" (GB31571-2015), the requirements specified in the \"Notice from the People’s Government of Zhangqiu City on Raising the Discharge Standards for Water Pollutants by Certain Polluting Enterprises\" (Zhangzhengban Zi [2015] No. 18), Document Ji Zhengban Zi [2017] No. 30, the \"Notice from the People’s Government of Zhangqiu District, Jinan City on Implementing Regional Discharge Limits for Water Pollutants in the Xiaoqing River Basin of Zhangqiu District\", as well as the quality requirements for wastewater entering the Second Wastewater Treatment Plant in Zhangqiu District; thereafter, it is discharged to this plant for further treatment before being released in compliance with relevant standards. 2. Facilities such as the plant area, tank farm, accident pond, sewage collection, treatment, and temporary storage systems, as well as water transmission pipelines, shall adopt the leak prevention measures specified in the environmental impact report to prevent contamination of groundwater. (II) Do a good job in preventing and controlling waste gas pollution. 1. It is necessary to strictly implement all the pollution control measures specified in the report, to ensure that the waste gases generated during the project’s operational processes meet the emission limits set out in Table 1 of the “Regional Comprehensive Emission Standards for Air Pollutants” (DB37/2376-2019) for key control areas, the secondary standards listed in Table 2 of the “Comprehensive Emission Standards for Air Pollutants” (GB16297-1996), the standard limits specified in Table 2 of the “Emission Standards for Odorous Pollutants” (GB14554-93), the emission limits for Period II outlined in Table 1 of the “Emission Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds – Part 6: Organic Chemical Industry” (DB37/2801.6-2018), and the emission limits for organic characteristic pollutants in waste gases as specified in Table 6 of the “Emission Standards for Pollutants in the Petrochemical Industry” (GB31571-2015). Each exhaust stack must not be lower than the height required by the report. 2. The boiler is equipped with efficient pollution prevention facilities for dust, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide removal, ensuring that the emitted exhaust gases meet the emission concentration limits for coal-fired boilers specified in Table 2 of the “Emission Standards for Air Pollutants from Thermal Power Plants” (DB37/664-2019). The exhaust stack shall not be lower than the height required by the report. 3. Do a good job in pollution control regarding uncontrolled emissions of waste gases at all stages. Sealing measures must be implemented in all production stages, as well as for the storage and transportation of various materials; high-standard coal warehouses, ash silos, slag storage facilities, etc. should be constructed. Appropriate pollution control facilities shall be installed to ensure that various types of unorganized exhaust emissions meet the maximum concentration limits specified in Table 2 of the \"Comprehensive Emission Standards for Air Pollutants\" (GB16297-1996) at points outside the facility perimeter, the concentration limits at monitoring points at the facility boundary as set out in the \"Emission Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds – Part 7: Other Industries\" (DB37/2801.7-2019), the concentration limits at monitoring points at the facility boundary as specified in Table 2 of the \"Emission Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds and Odorous Pollutants from Wastewater Treatment Plants in Organic Chemical Enterprises\" (DB37/3161-2018), as well as the requirements of the \"Control Standards for Unorganized Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds\" (GB37822-2019). (III) Optimize the layout of the plant area and select low-noise equipment. Noise reduction measures such as sound insulation, noise elimination, and vibration damping should be taken for the main noise sources, to ensure that the noise level at the factory boundary meets the requirements of Class 3 specified in the \"Emission Standards for Environmental Noise at the Boundaries of Industrial Enterprises\" (GB12348-2008). (4) All hazardous wastes must be collected. The collection and storage facilities must comply with the “Standard for Pollution Control in the Storage of Hazardous Wastes” (GB18597-2001) and its amendments. Each type of hazardous waste must be entrusted to a qualified entity for transportation and disposal as stipulated. During the transfer process, management systems such as the transfer manifest must be strictly implemented ； Generally, all industrial solid waste should be comprehensively utilized ； Domestic waste is promptly collected and processed by sanitation authorities. (5) Establish and improve environmental management systems, implement the various environmental risk prevention measures outlined in the report; develop emergency environmental response plans, put into effect all emergency handling and prevention measures, and file them as required. Toxic gas leakage alarm systems are installed in the plant area and tank area; pressure and flow monitoring systems are provided for storage tanks and pipelines. Dikes are constructed around the tank area, and drainage systems are set up in both the tank area and the plant area. A new accident containment tank with a capacity of no less than 3000 m3 has been built in the northern plant area, while the southern plant area makes use of the existing accident containment tank with a capacity of 2000 m3, and the drainage connection systems in all areas are improved. All pollutants generated under abnormal operating conditions must be collected and properly disposed of. (VI) Take effective measures to prevent and control pollution during the construction period. The noise level during construction must meet the requirements specified in the \"Standards for Environmental Noise Emissions at Construction Sites\" (GB12523-2011). (7) Existing engineering environmental issues should be addressed in accordance with the principle of using new technologies to address older problems, to ensure that all types of pollutants are discharged at levels that meet the specified standards, and to comply with current emission requirements as mandated.
