Gurye-gun Conducts Special Environmental Pollution Monitoring Before and After Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Mi-seok] On the 17th, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will conduct special monitoring before and after the Chuseok holiday period, which is a vulnerable time for illegal discharge of environmental pollutants.

Focus will be placed on checking whether prevention facilities are not operating, intentional unauthorized discharge, and proper operation of prevention facilities, mainly in areas with concentrated workplaces such as water source systems and heavily polluted areas, agro-industrial complexes, waste disposal companies, sewage and livestock manure discharge facilities, and basic environmental facilities.

Accordingly, Gurye-gun plans to strengthen environmental patrols in vulnerable areas such as riversides and areas with concentrated discharge businesses.

For key monitoring target workplaces, voluntary inspections for preemptive environmental pollution prevention measures according to this special monitoring plan will be requested, and if violations such as pollutant discharge are confirmed through surrounding monitoring, on-site crackdowns will be conducted to actively respond to illegal activities.

A county official stated, “We will thoroughly track and detect intentional and habitual illegal environmental pollution acts that threaten residents' health and ecosystem destruction, and take strict measures such as suspension of operations and prosecution according to relevant laws,” adding, “We will strengthen follow-up management such as verifying implementation status and maintain an emergency contact system with related organizations such as Jeollanam-do and the Ministry of Environment to promptly cooperate in case of environmental pollution accidents.”
