Daejeon City Special Crackdown on Illegal Activities in the Daecheongho Reservoir Protection Area

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 19th that it will conduct a special crackdown on illegal activities centered around the water source protection area near Daecheong Lake from the 19th until the end of next month.

The special crackdown will be carried out by forming joint inspection teams for each autonomous district in Dong-gu and Daedeok-gu. In areas where self-inspection is difficult, the city and the Geumgang River Basin Environmental Office will provide support.

The main targets of the crackdown are unauthorized business operations, illegal buildings, illegal changes in use, and illegal land alterations that pollute the water quality of Daecheong Lake.

If violations are detected during the crackdown, minor issues will be guided on-site, while intentional and habitual illegal activities such as unauthorized business operations, illegal buildings, and illegal changes in use will be subject to penalties including business closure, imposition of compliance fines, and prosecution depending on the violation.

Im Muk, Director of the Environmental Greenery Bureau of the city, said, “We will do our best to eradicate illegal activities through this special crackdown on the water source protection area,” and added, “Apart from the crackdown, we ask for the voluntary cooperation of citizens to protect the water source.”
