It is strictly prohibited to establish or expand chemical industrial parks and production facilities within a 1-kilometer radius along the riverbanks. According to a report by Huasheng Online on March 26 (by Liu Xiaoxue, reporter from Hunan Daily·Huasheng Online), reporters learned today that the provincial ** office has recently issued the \"Implementation Plan for the Relocation and Transformation of Chemical Enterprises along the River in Hunan Province\" (hereinafter referred to as the \"Plan\"). It is specified that within a 1-kilometer radius along the riverbanks in our province, the construction or expansion of chemical industrial parks and chemical production facilities is strictly prohibited. The Plan requires risk assessments to be conducted on chemical manufacturing enterprises within 1 kilometer of the riverbank, with a focus on shutting down those with outdated production capabilities or those that fail to meet safety and environmental standards by 2020. Guide chemical manufacturing enterprises to relocate to compliant chemical parks located more than 1 kilometer away from the riverbank by adjusting their production structures, and ensure that the relocation and transformation are completed by the end of 2025. Some chemical manufacturing enterprises within a 1-kilometer radius that have market potential and can meet safety and environmental requirements in the event of extreme accidents should be retained, with more stringent measures taken to supervise them. The Plan requires the people’s governments of various cities and prefectures to strengthen supervision over existing chemical manufacturing enterprises located more than 1 kilometer away from the riverbanks in our province, and to encourage such enterprises that are situated beyond 1 kilometer from the riverbanks and not within compliant industrial parks to relocate to such parks. According to the plan, the provincial finance department will allocate 200 million yuan in special subsidy funds each year over 6 years to support the relocation and transformation of chemical manufacturing enterprises along the river. At the same time, priority will be given to areas with such relocation and transformation tasks when issuing local bonds.
