In the inspection, the panel of experts carefully heard reports on environmental protection on the part of the project, reviewed a report on monitoring the environmental protection facility upon completion of its construction issued by Henan Provincial Environmental Monitoring Center, and conducted on-site verification to check the situation of operation.
