GuangDong HuaAo New Alloy Material Co.,Ltd. has entrusted Guangdong Zhihuan Innovation Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct the environmental impact assessment for the technological transformation and expansion project invested and constructed by the company. According to the relevant regulations of the 'Measures for Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment' (Order No. 4 of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment), it is necessary to publicly announce the implementation of this project to inform the public and to understand the public's attitudes and opinions regarding environmental protection for this project, accepting supervision from the entire society.

1. Project Name and Overview 
Project Name: Technological Transformation and Expansion Project of GuangDong HuaAo New Alloy Material Co.,Ltd.
Project Overview: GuangDong HuaAo New Alloy Material Co.,Ltd. is located in Industrial Zone 2, Hecheng Town, Heshan City, with central geographical coordinates of: Latitude 22°37'55.11", Longitude 112°51'23.82". The total area of the company is approximately 37,524.6 square meters, with an existing building area of approximately 18,621.6 square meters. The company mainly engages in the production and processing of heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant master alloy rods, with an existing production scale of 9,000 tons of heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant master alloy rods per year. The existing pollution sources from the project include waste gas: melting waste gas, cooking fumes from the cafeteria; wastewater: domestic sewage; noise: equipment noise; solid waste: furnace slag, metal shavings, metal dust, and domestic garbage. The melting waste gas is treated through 'gas collection hood + flue cooling and dust reduction + bag filter' and is discharged through two 15-meter exhaust pipes in compliance with standards; the cooking fumes from the cafeteria are treated by an oil fume purification device and discharged through an exhaust pipe to the rooftop; domestic sewage is pre-treated through a three-stage septic tank before being discharged to the Hecheng Town sewage treatment plant; equipment noise is managed through reasonable layout, selection of low-noise equipment, vibration reduction, noise reduction, and sound insulation measures; furnace slag, metal shavings, and metal dust are collected and periodically sold to qualified units, while domestic garbage is collected in containers and regularly disposed of by sanitation departments.
To adapt to market development and customer needs, the company plans to construct the following technological transformation and expansion content:
1. Technological transformation of the existing heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant master alloy rod production line, with unchanged product output, upgrading the product to high-alloy master alloy;
2. Through technological transformation, the high-alloy master alloy will be converted into new products: high-temperature alloy master alloy and high-temperature alloy powder for 3D printing, which means adding production lines for high-temperature alloy master alloy and high-temperature alloy powder for 3D printing;
3. Utilize the existing finished product warehouse to convert it into a production workshop for high-temperature alloy master alloy, with a building area of 2,000.8 square meters; use the existing vacant land in the factory area to build a workshop for high-temperature alloy powder for 3D printing, with a building area of 4,800 square meters; rely on the existing No. 1 production workshop to add a laboratory, build a sewage treatment station in front of the existing employee dormitory building, and establish a general solid waste temporary storage point at the existing slag yard in the factory area, with a building area of approximately 3,600 square meters.
After the completion of the technological transformation and expansion project, the total product scale of the factory will be 2,000 tons/year of high-temperature alloy master alloy, 300 tons/year of high-temperature alloy powder for 3D printing, and 6,700 tons/year of remaining high-alloy master alloy (intended for supply to downstream casting customers). The total building area of the factory will be 22,000 square meters, with a total labor quota of 180 people, operating 310 days a year, implementing a two-shift system, with each shift lasting 8 hours.

2. Work Procedures and Content of the Environmental Impact Assessment 
1. Preliminary Research: Investigation and monitoring of the current environmental status around the project, as well as the collection and organization of relevant project materials.
2. Report Writing: Engineering analysis of the project, monitoring of environmental quality status, prediction and evaluation of environmental impacts, review of environmental protection measures, and providing conclusions on the environmental feasibility of the project construction.
3. Public Opinion Solicitation: After the initial draft of the report is completed, the construction unit will publicize the environmental impact assessment conclusions and the way to obtain the report summary through multiple media channels to solicit public opinions, and collect project construction opinions or suggestions from relevant units, experts, and individuals in the form of filling out public opinion forms, responding objectively to public opinions before the report is submitted for review.
4. Report Submission: Submit for review by the environmental protection authority.

3. Main Matters for Soliciting Public Opinions
