On the 10th, the district announced the ‘Environmental Impact Assessment (Draft) Public Inspection and Residents' Briefing Session’ to gather residents' opinions on the expected environmental impacts and mitigation measures from the project implementation, as well as the possibility of holding a public hearing. The draft, summary, and opinion submission forms were made available at six locations including nearby community centers around the project site.

The ‘Eungbong 1 Housing Reconstruction Maintenance Project’ was designated as a maintenance plan and maintenance zone in October 2011, received approval for the establishment of the association in 2016, and underwent maintenance plan modification procedures from 2017 to October 2020.

Subsequently, last year, the project completed the Seoul City traffic impact assessment review and architectural committee review, and was officially designated as a special architectural zone in January this year.

The building scale will be 5 basement floors and 15 above-ground floors (average 12 floors), with a total floor area of 117,875.79 square meters. It will include 15 apartment buildings with 525 households and auxiliary welfare facilities.

The draft Environmental Impact Assessment will be open for public inspection from the 10th of this month until the 8th of next month. It can be viewed at the Seongdong-gu Office Housing Maintenance Division and the community centers of Eungbong-dong, Haengdang 1-dong, Haengdang 2-dong, Geumho 1-ga-dong, and Geumho 4-ga-dong.

Additionally, on the 21st at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., an explanatory session on the draft Environmental Impact Assessment will be held at the Eungbong 1 Housing Reconstruction Maintenance Project Association Office (3rd floor, 4, Gosan-ja-ro 2-gil, Seongdong-gu), hosted by the prospective project implementers. The same content will be presented twice to encourage distributed participation.

Residents who have opinions after reviewing the draft Environmental Impact Assessment or attending the briefing session can submit their opinion forms at the inspection locations by April 8th.

He added, "This public inspection of the draft Environmental Impact Assessment is a preliminary step for applying for project implementation approval, and we expect the Eungbong 1 Housing Reconstruction Maintenance Project to proceed at a brisk pace."
