Final Approval of 'Basic Sewerage Maintenance Plan' by Ministry of Environment Expected to Prevent Flooding and Preserve Water Quality in Hampyeong-gun

Expansion of Areas Subject to Inclusion in Sewage Treatment Zones

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 8th that it received final approval for the Sewerage Maintenance Basic Plan from the Ministry of Environment on the 4th.

The "Sewerage Maintenance Basic Plan" is a plan established every 20 years under the Sewerage Act to improve public hygiene, prevent flooding, and maintain water quality environment, and its feasibility is reviewed and reestablished every 5 years.

The county newly established the basic plan by collecting data and conducting basic and field surveys to align the existing basic plan established in 2016 with the changed development conditions, applied for approval last November, and obtained final approval from the Ministry of Environment this month.

The approved plan includes many areas that were not previously included in the sewerage maintenance basic plan, so it is expected to provide systematic sewerage administrative services to more residents.

The areas newly incorporated into the sewage treatment zone include ▲ Dolmeori Beach commercial area ▲ Eomda-myeon Nosang Village ▲ Haebo-myeon Mannyeon and Mosan Villages ▲ Wolya-myeon Seokbo, Baekya, and Oechi Villages ▲ Wolya-myeon public-supported private rental housing ▲ Yeongwol District urban development project ▲ Haebo-myeon Nongtopia residential complex ▲ Yongcheonsa tourism complex, and other planned development project areas.

In addition, to prevent water pollution accidents in the water source protection area, the plan includes closing nine aging village sewage treatment plants in Deoksan-ri and Yongsung-ri areas of Daedong-myeon and consolidating them into the Hampyeong public sewage treatment facility.

A county official said, "With the approval of this basic plan, a foundation has been laid to receive national funding, so we will sequentially secure the budget and steadily promote related projects."
