Ministry of the Interior and Safety Establishes Standard Operating Guidelines for Excellent Retention Facilities... Distribution of Guidelines

Establishment of Operating Standards Considering Facility Characteristics and On-site Conditions

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 28th that it has established and distributed the "Standard Operating Manual for Excellent Stormwater Retention Facilities," which stipulates operation standards, maintenance, inspection methods, and situation management criteria for heavy rainfall preparedness to ensure efficient management of stormwater retention facilities operated and managed by local governments.

Until now, stormwater retention facilities were managed by local governments with manuals created individually without standardization, kept on-site and in offices. However, these manuals were often unsuitable for actual conditions and lacked sufficient operation standards, making them inadequate for application during emergencies.

The newly established standard manual contains only essential information for operators, such as operation standards and inspection details tailored to field conditions. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety expects that by utilizing this standard operating manual for stormwater retention facilities, local governments will be able to conveniently create operation and management standards suited to their circumstances and the characteristics of their facilities.

Lee Yong-cheol, Director of the Safety Policy Office, stated, "With the establishment of the standard operating manual for stormwater retention facilities, not only will the efficient management and operation of facilities be possible, but it will also enable a faster response to heavy rainfall."
