Recently, the reporter discovered in Foshan City, Guangdong Province that a chemical company in the city was actually built next to a large prison in Guangdong Province. The nearest distance was only 10 meters away, and only a very narrow road was separated. In response, the reporter conducted an investigation.
This newly-built chemical company is entirely known as Foshan Gaoming Gaoyi New Chemical Co., Ltd. The company's plant site on the southeast side of Foshan Prison covers an area of ​​100 mu. The total investment for the project construction is 67,544,300 yuan. It was started in January this year. Currently, the project has been carried out for one third of the project. The construction fund has already invested about 20 million yuan. After the company is completed, it can annually produce 90,000 tons of formaldehyde and 100,000 tons of butyl acetate. The main raw materials are methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, sulfuric acid and so on. There is also a chemical storage tank area.
On August 19 of this year, the Foshan prison submitted the document No.99 (2005) to the Guangdong Provincial Prison Administration, detailing the construction of Gaoyixin Chemical Co., Ltd. and its impact on the security of the prison.
The report said that the company’s “project safety pre-evaluation report†and “project environmental impact assessment report†stated that the company is located in a sparsely populated non-residential area. In fact, the Foshan prison is located in the northwest position of the company. The nearest distance between Gaoyixin and the prison is only 10 meters. The company's concealment of the distance from the prison seriously violated the basic requirements for establishing a factory site.
The report said that the prison covers an area of ​​1,500 mu and there are more than 3,500 detainees. The Gaoyixin Company's production facilities and dangerous chemical storage tanks are only 10 meters away from the prison sports ground and only 500 meters away from the closed surveillance area where prisoners are imprisoned. According to the national “Maximum Allowable Concentration of Harmful Substances in Residential Areas†requirement, the maximum floor-to-ceiling concentration of harmful substances shall not be less than 1,100 meters away from the residential area of ​​the downwind population. The entire Gaoyixin company's entire factory area is within 1000 meters from the prison. Once a gas leak or explosion occurs at the chemical plant, it will seriously threaten the security of the prison police and prisoners. Moreover, the inmates are different from the ordinary people and they can walk away. It is very difficult for thousands of inmates to quickly transfer or evacuate. It is necessary to study and arrange in advance, mobilize the police in advance, design routes in advance, and accidents in chemical plants are impossible to do. Know in advance and inform the outside world in advance. Once inmates are unable to transfer and poison, they will inevitably cause serious domestic and international impacts. The major responsibility accidents incurred cannot be afforded by any level I government or department.
According to the report, the prison police and the prisoners are already high-pressure psychological recipients. They are worried about the hazards caused by chemical companies and make them even more uneasy, causing serious security risks to prisons. In addition, prisons are often referred to as "explosives" or "craters" because they are detained. This is a major source of danger. The Gaoyi New Company also has become a major source of danger due to the production and storage of a large number of flammable, explosive, hazardous and toxic substances. It is self-evident that the two dangerous hazards of different natures are close together and affect each other.
Based on the above reasons, Foshan Prison strongly urged the relevant departments to relocate the chemical company as soon as possible.
In early September, Xu Sanyuan, head of the Foshan City Safety Supervision Bureau, led the investigation team to the Foshan Prison and corporate investigation. Found that Gao Yixin Chemical Co., Ltd.'s start-up procedures are not complete and have not been approved by the planning and fire department. The violation projects that started without authorization should be stopped for investigation.
The municipal government of Foshan City stated that it is necessary to conduct a third-party assessment and demonstration of this construction project in order to verify whether the Gaoxinxin Chemical Co., Ltd. hazardous chemicals production project will affect the Foshan prison.
