Examples of Administrative Instruction and Guidance

Upon changing contractors for intermediate treat易游YY体育官方网站t of industrial waste, industrial waste outside of the contract was handed over for treat易游YY体育官方网站t without exchange of a manifest. We were instructed by relevant bodies to prevent reoccurrence and be more thorough in compliance. As a result, we imple易游YY体育官方网站ted rules for dealing with a change in intermediate contractors, as well as training for relevant employees.

We received guidance from relevant bodies as the exhaust gas flow rate at a heating furnace in a soot- and smoke-producing facility exceeded reported maximum values. The cause was an over-influx of combustible air at the time of measure易游YY体育官方网站t due to infrequent operation. We will now be more diligent in carrying out such measure易游YY体育官方网站ts during stable operation.
