[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun announced on the 9th that it will implement special management measures in the environmental sector in preparation for the Seollal holiday.

Through the special management measures in the environmental sector, the county plans to respond to emergencies such as the accumulation of household waste, environmental pollution accidents, and disruptions in tap water supply that may occur during the holiday period.

To this end, by tomorrow, facilities related to local and metropolitan water supply systems, such as pumping stations, reservoirs, and transmission and distribution pipes, will be pre-inspected, and water quality management and testing for raw and purified water will be strengthened to ensure no disruptions in water supply during the holiday period.

In addition, for disinfection and facility management of public restrooms, the county plans to focus on inspecting △ cleanliness inside and outside, △ availability of toilet paper and hand sanitizers, and △ presence of illegal hidden cameras.

Businesses that discharge environmental pollutants will be encouraged to conduct voluntary inspections, and businesses that discharge large amounts of pollutants will undergo special inspections before the holiday.

Patrols of major rivers such as the Boseong River, which protects the Juamho water source, are also planned.

Household waste and food waste generated during the Seollal holiday will be promptly processed, and illegal dumping of waste will also be monitored.

A county official said, “To create a clean and pleasant holiday atmosphere, we will operate a control room during the holiday period to resolve various inconveniences and respond quickly in case of emergencies.”

Meanwhile, on the 2nd, Boseong-gun conducted a joint inspection with the Korea Environment Corporation focusing on large marts and distribution companies regarding excessive packaging of holiday gift sets.
