Yeongsangang River Basin Environmental Office, Special Monitoring for Environmental Pollution Prevention During Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office (Director Ryu Yeon-gi) will conduct special monitoring activities from the 13th to the 26th to check for illegal discharge of pollutants during the vulnerable period of the Chuseok holiday.

This activity will strengthen non-face-to-face patrols using scientific equipment such as drones and mobile measurement vehicles to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and will be carried out in two stages: before and during the holiday period.

Before the holiday, monitoring plans will be promoted to pollutant-emitting businesses to encourage voluntary inspections, and patrols and crackdowns will be conducted on businesses that discharge large amounts of hazardous wastewater and fine dust, as well as on basic environmental facilities.

During the holiday, patrols will be intensified on major rivers in the Yeongsan River and Seomjin River basins, and an "Environmental Pollution Special Monitoring Situation Room" will be established and operated to respond promptly to environmental pollution accidents.

Ryu Yeon-gi, Director of the Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office, emphasized, "Through this special monitoring, we will strengthen non-face-to-face patrols to prevent environmental pollution acts taking advantage of the vulnerable period, and if violations are found during monitoring activities, we will strictly respond according to relevant laws."

He added, "We ask each business to thoroughly manage the environment by conducting self-inspections to prevent environmental pollution caused by negligence in managing environmental facilities."
