[Reporter Liu Xiaoxin/Changhua Report] Changhua County is the only city in the country that does not have a crematorium. The Lukang District of Changbin Industrial Zone is about to build an incinerator, which arouses doubts among local manufacturers and the public. Here, Wang Zhiming, director of Changbin Service Center, clarified that "there is absolutely no such thing", because the land use zoning of the two is completely different.

The newly-built incinerator in Lukang District of Zhangbin Industrial Zone has passed the environmental assessment and will hold a briefing session before the start of construction on the 31st. In response to the concerns of local manufacturers, the Zhangbin Service Center will hold a manufacturer symposium tomorrow. Wang Zhiming said that this is not a special case. It is a practice that has been practiced for many years. As long as some manufacturers have doubts about the establishment of factories or facilities, they will be invited to explain pollution prevention measures, and discuss openly and face-to-face with each other. However, the symposium is only open to manufacturers. Not fully open.

Since many manufacturers in Lukang and Zhangbin and residents in Lukang and Fuxing have only recently learned that incinerators will be built, the residents and manufacturers are all overwhelmed. The waste is brought in to be burned, and then the crematorium will be brought in, and it will be too late to protest at this time.

Wang Zhiming emphasized that the land use zoning for incinerators and crematoria is completely different. The land use in industrial areas is governed by the land use regulations of the Industrial Innovation Regulations, and it is not included in crematoriums at all. That is to say, land in industrial areas cannot be used for crematoriums.

The Zhangbin incinerator is indeed intended to process industrial waste, but it cannot accept medical waste or hazardous waste.

Wang Zhiming pointed out that he hopes that tomorrow's symposium can reach a consensus among manufacturers, and that the factory association will also be included in the establishment of a supervision and management committee in the future.

However, county councilor Tu Shumei said dissatisfiedly that the briefing on the construction of an incinerator in Zhangbin, Lugang would have a great impact on the residents of neighboring towns and towns. The previous briefing and the briefing on the 31st did not invite county councilors. , totally unreasonable.

Fuxing Township Mayor Jiang Yandeng emphasized that the Fubao Dairy Farming District is an important dairy farming town in the country. An information session must be held in the Fuba Dairy Farm.

Shi Yueying, Director-General of the Environmental Alliance, said that Changbin manufacturers and environmental protection groups have launched a joint letter of opposition to the construction of the incinerator, because there are two public incinerators in Changhua, Hemei and Xizhou, and there are Riyou and Fengyu incinerators in the west area of ​​the Changbin Line. Therefore, there is no shortage of incinerators in Changhua County, and there is no need to build a new incinerator in Lukang.
