    The gate of the old Xiangjiang Paint factory.
    The old Xiangjiang paint factory, which is deeply trapped in the busy city, has been a source of pollution complained by the people for many years and is facing the fate of relocation.

    Strive to complete the relocation of the paint production workshop of the Deya Road factory area by the end of 2015.

    On July 11, 2014, Hunan Xiangjiang Paint Group Co.
    , Ltd.
    (hereinafter referred to as "Xiangtu" or "Xiangtu Group") posted a "Letter of Commitment" on its official website, clarifying the attitude of the relocation as soon as possible and the time of the proposed relocation.

    Just one day ago, Xiangtu Group and the environmental protection departments of Changsha City and Kaifu District organized a symposium with local residents.
    At the meeting, in the face of public opinion strongly demanding the relocation of Xiangtu, the person in charge of the Changsha City Environmental Monitoring Detachment made a statement on the spot, requesting the factory to issue a relocation commitment letter with official seal on the Internet and provide it to nearby residents.

    At this point, the "relocation war" between the residents of Xiangtu and its surrounding areas over pollution has come to an end.
    The tug-of-war between enterprises and people that started more than a decade ago is even coming to an end.
    However, both the local residents and Xiangtu, who lives in the downtown area, can hardly say victory in this tug-of-war-the former suffers inconveniences in life and possible physical harm, while the latter has to face "infamy".
    And the dilemma of expanding development.

    All of this originally only needed a "relocation" action to end; but for Xiangtu, relocation is by no means an easy task—the cost of relocation, the choice of a new site, the approval of land use, etc.
    , are all practical difficulties that lie in front of the enterprise.
    .
    Only at the current time when the policy environment is becoming more and more stringent, did Xiangtu wait for the "opportunity" to overcome difficulties, or have to make a decision to relocate.

    In addition to Xiangtu, this is also the current situation faced by other established paint companies in the busy city; but for Xiangtu, the relocation predicament is particularly typical and more realistic.

    Yelling to move every year

    “I said I would move when I came here, and I haven’t moved.
    ” In a report in early July of this year, a resident who lives near Xiangtu said that Xiangtu called to move every year, every year.
    As always, she had been waiting for 15 years.

    This shows that at least at the turn of the century, voices demanding the relocation of Xiangtu have already existed.
    Since then, the voice demanding to remove Xiangtu has never stopped.

    In 2008, residents near Xiangtu began to use the Internet to speak out.
    In April of that year, residents with the online name "Righteous Indignation" posted in the "People's Voice" column on the red net, demanding that "the relevant government departments should immediately intervene in such vicious behaviors as enterprises that seriously affect people's lives.
    " The post stated, “As the country is stepping up efforts to rectify polluting enterprises and promoting environmental protection, why is the emission of waste gas and wastewater so arrogant in a heavily polluted Xiangjiang paint factory?”

    What made the residents so reject Xiangtu? The above-mentioned post was still followed by residents until August 2012.
    A netizen said in the thread, “Almost every day, Xiangjiang Paint Group will arrogantly emit a large amount of unsmeltable gas.
    This kind of gas is disgusting, and you know it is definitely harmful to your body when you smell it!” Another netizen also expressed doubts: “I don’t understand how such a big polluter has been in the urban area for so long.
    I complained in 2008.
    , But now it’s 2012, we are still suffering from unpleasant, pungent odor pollution.
    "

    In fact, after this post was submitted to the Changsha Environmental Protection Department by the Red Net, it was responded to by the Changsha Environmental Protection Bureau ("Changsha Environmental Protection Bureau"), stating that it had organized sampling, monitoring and review of the exhaust emissions from Xiangtu.
    .
    "After investigation, it was discovered that the unit has two main sources of waste gas pollution: one is the odor generated by the wastewater from the sewage treatment station of the plant; the other is that the plant uses production wastewater to desulfurize and remove dust from the boiler exhaust gas, thereby generating odorous gas that affects the surrounding residents.
    Normal life.
    In response, law enforcement officials immediately issued the "Environmental On-site Monitoring Document", requesting rectification.

    But the situation has not improved.
    In July 2011, netizens "Qiuyi" posted a post calling on relevant departments to pay attention to "Xiangtu often emits unpleasant odors, which seriously affect the lives of the surrounding people and harm their health!" This post also received a detailed response from the Changsha Environmental Protection Bureau.
    , And informed about the pollution status and detection status of Xiangtu.

    The Changsha Environmental Protection Bureau confirmed in the notification that Xiangtu has "a certain degree of paint waste gas pollution.
    " The report pointed out that Xiangtu had six workshops at the time-a resin synthesis workshop, a packaging barrel production workshop and four packaging production workshops-and the working hours were from 8 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday.
    The production process is followed by resin synthesis, mixing, and packaging.
    "From the site survey, the waste gas pollution of this unit is mainly due to the unorganized emission of volatile organic solvents during the production process due to mixing and packaging, that is, the smell of paint.
    "

    In response to this monitoring, the Changsha Environmental Protection Bureau "instructed the unit (Xiangtu) to strengthen the construction of exhaust gas protection measures, seal the windows of the thinner tank shop, install exhaust devices, exhaust gas pipes and exhaust gas absorption devices.
    Unorganized exhaust gas must pass through the pipeline After the collection is processed and reaches the standard, it will be discharged at high altitude.
    "

    In October 2012, local mass media reports in Changsha expanded the scope of publicity of the waste gas pollution in Xiangtu.
    In an on-site interview, an unnamed woman told reporters, “I lived in the sauce dormitory of Liuhe Village, 50 meters away from Xiangjiang Paint Group, for more than 20 years, which is equivalent to smelling the smell for more than 20 years!” This report is once again "Alarming" the Changsha Environmental Protection Bureau, the next day, it sent monitoring personnel to Xiangtu to monitor the plant's waste gas and wastewater discharge and take samples on site.

    The frequent exposure of pollution problems made Xiangtu aware of the necessity of relocation.
    In January 2013, at the 2012 annual dealer meeting of Xiangjiang Decorative Coatings, Qin Feng, general manager of Xiangtu Group Company, gave a special explanation on the relocation progress of the group company and the planning prospects after the relocation of Xiangjiang Decorative Coatings in his speech.
    The relocation operation has been initiated.
