This section is densely populated with commercial buildings and officetels, and by mobilizing all available equipment to resolve residents' discomfort caused by foul odors, the work was completed ahead of schedule.

The county plans to complete waste disposal by March next year for the remaining 10 km section from Oryong-ri, Illo-eup to Isan-ri, Mongtan-myeon, and will carry out river cleanup activities as a job creation project for local residents to preserve the Yeongsan River cleanly.

Governor Kim San said, “Through flood debris cleanup activities, we will do our best to provide a pleasant environment for local residents and pass on a clean Yeongsan River to future generations.”

Meanwhile, Muan-gun continuously requested national treasury support from the Ministry of Environment in October and secured 1.8 billion won in national funds, with plans to complete waste incineration in the first half of next year.
