According to the Hubei Daily, by the end of the year, Hubei province will complete the relocation and renovation of 47 hazardous chemicals manufacturing enterprises, as well as the closure, transformation, and relocation of 119 chemical enterprises located along the river. This news came from a video conference held on June 3 by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to promote the relocation and transformation of hazardous chemical manufacturing enterprises in densely populated urban areas of Hubei Province, as well as the relocation, transformation, closure, and shutdown of chemical enterprises along the river. This year is the final year of the three-year campaign to shut down, relocate, and transform chemical enterprises along the river, as well as to relocate and reform hazardous chemicals. The head of Hubei Province’s Department of Economy and Information Technology said that they will reverse the schedule, work according to a detailed plan, and use a task-tracking system to ensure that this year’s annual goals are achieved. It is reported that since 2018, Hubei Province has completed the relocation of 261 chemical enterprises located along the river, as well as the renovation of 99 enterprises dealing with hazardous chemicals; last year, it achieved 176% and 128% of its annual targets respectively.
It is reported that the Hubei Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology was the first in the country to issue the \"Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in Overcapacity Chemical Industries such as Phosphoric Ammonium in Hubei Province,\" in order to strictly control the addition of production capacity in these overcapacity chemical industries. It was also the first in the country to develop the \"Acceptance Standards and Work Procedures (Trial) for the Closure, Transformation, and Relocation of Chemical Enterprises along the Rivers in Hubei Province, as well as for the Relocation and Renovation of Hazardous Chemicals Production Enterprises,\" thereby establishing strict acceptance standards. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission took the lead in formulating the \"Guiding Principles for the Recognition of Chemical Industrial Parks,\" and a total of 40 compliant chemical industrial parks were identified. The Provincial Finance Department established special funding for rewards and subsidies at the provincial level, allocating 200 million yuan each year, for a total of 600 million yuan over three years, to reward and subsidize the cities and prefectures. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission allocates 25 million yuan each year to support the relocation and transformation of chemical enterprises. Four chemical industrial parks, including Xiaoting in Yichang, have received 590 million yuan in subsidy funds for demonstration projects aimed at the circular transformation of such parks at the ** level.

This marks a significant achievement in the efforts to relocate and transform these chemical enterprises along the riverbank in Ezhou City, and it represents an important step forward toward fully completing such transformations as well as the relocation of enterprises that produce hazardous chemicals. In 2019, two asphalt production enterprises located within a 1-kilometer radius along the river in Ezhou City – Tongshida Asphalt and Jiaotou Zhiyuan – began the process of closing down, relocating, and transforming into businesses focused on asphalt logistics and warehousing, making substantial progress in this direction. The Gedian Development Zone effectively identifies the biopharmaceutical and chemical enterprises within its jurisdiction, initiates closures, reforms, or relocations for 15 key enterprises, encourages these companies to operate in a standardized manner within the zone, and aims to develop a large-scale health industry park. In accordance with the Work Plan for the Closure, Transformation, and Relocation of Chemical Enterprises along the Yangtze River in Hubei Province, Ezhou City is required to complete the closure, transformation, and relocation of 9 chemical enterprises by December 31, 2020; an additional 5 chemical enterprises are to be handled in this manner by December 31, 2025. To date, aside from the 7 companies that have passed the acceptance process, the other companies have also made positive progress.
