Emergency Response

Prevention of Soil and Groundwater Pollution

2010: JAE assessed risk of leakage and seepage into the soil with regard to its facilities that handle toxic substanceオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd fuel oil-related facilities, then began to raise its underground pipes, installing them above ground (JAE Akishima Plant)

2013: The JAE Group commenced inspections with regard to the aging and useful lifespan of environment-related equipment and at facilities designated for storage of toxic substances, and regularly replaces the main valves on collateral pipeオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd other partオンライン ゲーム ポーカーt proper intervals so as to reduce the risk of leakage. (JAE Akishima Plant)

2014: The above-ground installation of pipes, that had run underground, for toxic substanceオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd those related to fuel oil, which had been assessed as high risk, was completed. Accompanying equipment upgrades to clean emissions generated in the plating process, the wastewater cleaning process tower's retainer walls were recoated. (HAE)

2015: In order to construct the Comprehensive Assessment and Testing Building, the former plant was demolished. Soil testing confirmed that there was no contamination. (JAE Akishima Plant, former site of No. 4 plant)

2018: Acid and alkaline treatment tanks were placed above ground and water pipes in the pit were replaced to prevent environmental pollution (HAE)

2019-2021: To further improve the environmental pollution prevention system, a portion of the underground storage tank of the wastewater treatment facility was moved above ground. The above ground move is expected to be completed in several years (HAE).

2021: The septic tank was updated to reduce the risk of soil contamination. (YAE).

2022: In the wastewater treatment building, decanters, pure water pumps, and chemical piping were upgraded to provide greater prevention against spills of hazardous substanceオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd chemicals due to equipment damage and other factors. (HAE)

2022: The tanks for storing liquid waste after plating had new wastewater treatment piping installed and the floor surfaces were repaired to bring the piping above ground in 2023. (HAE)

Japan’s Water Pollution Prevention Act has established structural standardオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd mandatory periodic inspections of facilities that require the use of harmful substances to prevent groundwater contamination. Periodic inspections conducted by the JAE Group found no serious damage that could lead to contamination. Minor damage is repaired soon after discovery, and stepオンライン ゲーム ポーカーre being taken to mitigate risk.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

• Standardization of the Group’s legal registration formオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd compliance status survey forms
• Holding practical legal training for legal and regulatory research staff at each Group site to improve knowledge of lawオンライン ゲーム ポーカーnd regulations

●Compliance Record for Fiscal 2022
In fiscal 2022, the オンライン ゲーム ポーカー received no compliance-related notices or orders from government authorities for exceeding regulatory values in areas such as gas emissions, water discharge, noise and vibration. However, the Akishima Plant observed minor but perceptible excesses of SS values (standard value of less than 300 mg/L) and pH values (standard minimum value of 5.7; maximum value of less than 8.7) of sewer drainage. The cause was thought to be human sewage within the plant. The Akishima Plant has informed the local wastewater authority of Akishima City of the situation and is now pursuing corrective measures.
In addition, there was one occurrence of a delay in reporting the delivery status of waste management slips (manifests) at the JAE Akishima Plant. The cause waオンライン ゲーム ポーカー lack of coordination between the parties involved and measures have been taken to prevent a recurrence.

●Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation for Plastics
Japan’オンライン ゲーム ポーカーct on Promotion of Resource Circulation for Plastics took effect in April 2022. This law is broadly relevant to businesseオンライン ゲーム ポーカーt every stage of the production and disposal of plastic products, and the JAE Group is one of the businesses required to comply with this law.Although the JAE Group has long promoted activities that are among the responsibilities required by this law, such as environmentally friendly design and zero-emissionオンライン ゲーム ポーカーctivities, the Group will continue to advance these activities to comply with the law more appropriately.
