The enterprise is located at Yueyang City, Hunan Province, at the Chenglingji Sanjiangkou where Dongting Lake and the Yangtse River meet, close to two 5000 tons foreign trade wharf at Port of Chenglingji. Since it is on the south of Yangtse Golden Channel, on the east of the eight hundred Li of Dongting Lake, on the west of Beijing- Guangzhou Railroad and connected with Beijing-Zhuhai Express and the 107 National Road, the land and water transportation is quietly convenient. The enterprise is mainly committed to the production and sales of cultural printing paper, with major products including more than 30 models in 5 series such as LWC, pigment treated offset paper, color-printing supercalendered paper and light weight printing papers. Its products are widely used for printing of high-level books, newspapers and magazines. The brands of its products enjoy great honor. Its series of offset printing book paper with the brand of “YUEYANGLOU� has won the “Gold Medal of National Quality� and “National Customer Satisfaction Award�. Its refined light weight coated paper and pigment treated offset paper with the brand of were elected as the “famous products of Hunan Province�. The enterprise passed certification of ISO 9001-2000 international quality system in January 2006, and in the same month, the enterprise passed the Environmental Management Plan for Technical Renovation on Clean Production Technology of Chemical Reed Bleaching System of YUEYANG FOREST ＆ PAPER CO., LTD 岳阳林纸股份有�公�化学苇浆漂白系统清�生产技术改造环境管�计划 certification of “three in one system� of ISO 9001-2000, ISO 14001 environmental management system and GB/T28001 occupational health and safety management system. The Dongting Lake area where YUEYANG FOREST PAPER is located is rich in fibrous paper making raw materials such as Italian poplar, Masson pine, foreign pine, reed, bamboo, etc. The enterprise positively implements the policies concerning “returning farmland to forest and returning farmland to lake�, insist to road of “integrating forest and paper making�. It has planted forest of 863700 Mu, realized the virtuous circle of “advancing paper making with forest, develop forest with paper making, combination of forest and paper making, and common development of forest and paper making�. It has been designated as the leading enterprise of forestry industry in Hunan Province. The enterprise has strong technology research and development capacity. For example, it developed many new products such as 45g/m2 light weight high-grade color printing newsprint, refined high-whiteness color printing newsprint, light weight coated paper, light weight printing papers and pigment treated offset paper. Among above new products, light weight high-grade color printing newsprint, refined high-whiteness color printing newsprint, light weight coated paper, light weight printing papers won the title of “National Key New products�. The research programme “Italian poplar AMPM new pulp making technology and its application� conducted by the enterprise won the second prize of National S&T Progress Awards in 2003. In recent years, the enterprise finished a series of important science and technology programme at provincial level or above. Up to end of 2006, the enterprise had developed 3 new products at national level and 20 new products at provincial level. It had declared 26 patents and 15 had gained the national patent. It has been awarded 1 National S&T Progress Awards and 6 S&T Progress Awards at provincial and Ministry level. Current projects of the enterprise include 7 pulp production line in 4 classes—bleached chemical wood pulp, bleached chemical reed pulp, poplar chemimechanical pulp and Deinked Pulp with the total pulp making capacity of 570 t/a. in addition, the enterprise also product machine-made paper such as news paper, light weight coated paper and pigment treated offset paper with self-made pulp and pulp board Environmental Management Plan for Technical Renovation on Clean Production Technology of Chemical Reed Bleaching System of YUEYANG FOREST ＆ PAPER CO., LTD 岳阳林纸股份有�公�化学苇浆漂白系统清�生产技术改造环境管�计划 purchased from outside with the total paper making capacity of 800 t/a. the enterprise is also equipped with corresponding alkali recovery device and device of co-generation of heat and power. The production capacity of chemical reed pulp workshop of YUEYANG FOREST PAPER is 180 t/d. This workshop uses traditional sulfate batch cooking process, with the bleaching system is EC bleaching technique. This type of technique will generate a large amount of waste water containing AOX, which not only caused high waste water emission of unit product and high content of inorganic matter and organic matter in waste water, but the AOX in waste water is much higher than the new control indicators which will be implemented in near future. Therefore, the enterprise planned to renovate the technology used in the bleaching section of this workshop, i.e. to phase out current chlorine bleaching system and to replace CEH bleaching with ECF bleaching technology. The construction of this technical renovation project will largely reduce the organic matte in pulp bleaching waste water, which will benefit to the development of YUEYANG FOREST PAPE to high level, low consumption and low pollution. The project will prevent and reduce the generation of pollutants from the source thus to reduce external treatment, reduce production cost and realize clean production. According to the requirements in “Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China�, “Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment� and “Regulations on the Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection�, YUEYANG FOREST PAPE entrusted Hunan Research Academy of Environmental Sciences to undertake the Environmental Impact (EI) Assessment work of Technical Renovation on Clean Production Technology of Chemical Reed Bleaching System of YUEYANG FOREST PAPER CO., LTD, and prepare this EI report. Upon accepting the entrust, assessment unit prepared this report after it examined the site of proposed project, collected of relevant information, and programme group conducted current environmental quality monitoring, public participation survey.
