Gwangju Nam-gu, Joint Public-Private Inspection of Environmental Pollutant Emission Sites Starting from the 20th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 19th that from the 20th to the 22nd, it will randomly select 12 sites among local environmental pollutant emission businesses, including car washes and automobile painting facilities, to conduct inspections.

Nam-gu plans to carry out joint inspections together with two residents who have completed prior training on guidance and inspection, in order to raise local residents' awareness of the seriousness of environmental pollution.

The main inspection items will focus on whether emission facilities have been installed without permission or notification to the district office, or if unauthorized discharge through secret outlets has occurred.

Additionally, inspections will be conducted on whether emission facility operation logs are recorded, if broken facilities have been neglected, and compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

As a result of the inspections, businesses that intentionally or habitually violate related laws will face administrative measures and prosecution.

A Nam-gu official stated, “We will continuously inspect pollutant emission businesses to ensure local residents can live in a pleasant environment, and establish a monitoring system with residents to prevent environmental pollution acts in advance.”
