[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 20th that from the 21st until the end of August, it will conduct a special summer season surveillance crackdown on environmental pollution acts to prevent environmental pollution in advance through systematic management of pollutant-emitting businesses within the jurisdiction.

Additionally, to enhance the transparency and efficiency of guidance inspections, joint guidance inspections on pollutant-emitting businesses will be conducted in cooperation with Uiseong-gun on the 21st and 22nd.

During this period, inspections will focus on pollutant-emitting business sites to check ▲ the appropriateness of installation permits (reports) for emission facilities ▲ normal operation of prevention facilities and any leakage of pollutants ▲ compliance with various requirements such as operation records of prevention facilities and self-measurement implementation.

Gunwi-gun plans to induce voluntary improvements through on-site administrative guidance for minor issues found during inspections, while strictly responding to intentional or serious violations of environmental laws with criminal charges or suspension of use according to relevant laws.

In the first half of the year, inspections of 44 pollutant-emitting business sites detected a total of 15 violations, including 2 cases of failure to report wastewater and air installation and 6 cases of failure to prepare operation record books for prevention facilities.

Kim Young-man, the head of Gunwi-gun, stated, "We plan to shift the management of pollutant-emitting businesses from mainly post-guidance and crackdown to preemptive prevention, technical support, and establishment of an environmental pollution monitoring system, providing high-level administrative services capable of preventing various environmental pollution accidents."
