Public Participation Notice on Social Stability Risk Analysis for the 60,000-Ton-Per-Year Multi-Functional Chemicals Project

Pursuant to the requirements stipulated in the Interim Measures for Social Stability Risk Assessment of Major Fixed-Asset Investment Projects Issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) (Document No. [2012] 2492) and the Interim Measures for Social Stability Risk Assessment of Fixed-Asset Investment Projects Issued by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission (Document No. Gui Fa Gai Tou Zi [2013] 833), a social stability risk analysis must be conducted for the 60,000-ton-per-year multi-functional chemicals project. To broadly solicit opinions and concerns from stakeholders in the vicinity regarding potential social stability risks associated with the project’s decision-making, preparation, construction, and operation phases, the following information about the proposed project is hereby made publicly available: I. Project Name 1. Project Name: 60,000-Ton-Per-Year Multi-Functional Chemicals Project 2. Project Owner: Solenis (Beihai) Chemical Co., Ltd. 3. Project Location: Petrochemical Industry Park, Tieshan Port (Coastal) Industrial Zone, Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (see attached map). 4. Total Land Area: 66,635.10 square meters (approximately 99.95 mu) 5. Construction Scale and Content: This project involves constructing a new production facility for 60,000 tons per year of multi-functional chemicals within the Petrochemical Industry Park, Tieshan Port (Coastal) Industrial Zone, Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The land parcel is newly acquired. The project will leverage partially completed public utility infrastructure and the already finished 'seven-throughs-and-one-leveling' (i.e., provision of seven utilities plus site leveling). Public utilities and auxiliary facilities required for the new production unit will be newly constructed. The estimated investment for Phase I is approximately USD 35 million, and the total plant area is approximately 66,635.10 square meters. Products include high-tech, multi-functional papermaking chemicals—such as aqueous solutions and emulsion polymers of polyacrylamide/polyacrylic acid; cationic polyacrylamide/other monomer-based polymers; novel defoaming agents; papermaking process chemicals; water and wastewater treatment chemicals; and novel silica sol products—as well as certain chemicals used specifically in water and wastewater treatment processes. 6. Total Project Investment: RMB 250 million (RMB 250,000,000)
