Chungbuk Special Monitoring of Environmentally Vulnerable Facilities During Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy (Chungbuk) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungbuk Province will conduct special monitoring of environmentally vulnerable facilities and areas within the region during the Chuseok holiday.

The province announced on the 18th that it will organize a special monitoring team from the 21st of this month to the 4th of next month to carry out activities to prevent environmental pollution.

The special monitoring team will focus its surveillance activities on areas prone to environmental pollution, such as the Han River and Geum River water source systems, rivers around industrial complexes and factory-dense areas, facilities discharging large amounts of wastewater, and other vulnerable businesses.

First, from the 21st to the 29th of this month, before the holiday begins, 753 businesses located in environmentally vulnerable areas will receive official notices for voluntary inspections of environmental facilities, along with promotional activities for pollution prevention and focused crackdowns on businesses at risk of pollution accidents.

From the 30th to the 4th of next month, patrols around water source systems and rivers near industrial complexes will be intensified, and environmental situation rooms will be established in the environmental departments of the province and each city and county to receive 24-hour reports from residents on environmental pollution acts such as unauthorized discharge of wastewater.

Lee Il-woo, head of the Climate and Air Division of the province, said, “Voluntary cooperation from companies and the interest of residents are important to have a pleasant holiday without environmental pollution accidents,” and added, “We ask for residents’ active attention and reporting on acts of environmental pollution.”
