[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] On the second day of the administrative audit on the 3rd, Jeong Wooseok, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, mentioned the apartment construction site in Hwajeong-dong, Seo-gu.

Councilor Jeong stated, “There have been as many as 164 complaints related to the construction site this year,” and “Nevertheless, the site inspection was conducted only a month after the complaints were received, and administrative measures were not properly implemented.”

He also said, “It is mandatory to comply with dust prevention measures when loading waste concrete or soil,” but “at the construction site in question, no water spraying operations were carried out, and there was no dedicated water spraying personnel.”

Furthermore, he claimed, “To prevent noise, the operation time of special construction equipment is restricted from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” and “despite work being done before 6 a.m. and after 8 p.m. at the construction site, it ended with only simple administrative guidance.”

In addition, Councilor Jeong proposed an alternative regarding noise measurement, suggesting that instead of arbitrarily deciding the noise measurement locations, it would be reasonable to measure noise by each construction block.

Councilor Jeong stated, “The complaints about this construction site are complex, involving not only the Climate and Environment Department but also five departments including Traffic,” and “through this audit, I will propose alternatives to resolve the inconveniences faced by local residents and do my best to address the damages.”
