Yeongsangang Regional Environmental Office Conducts Special Inspections of Environmental Impact Assessment Sites in Preparation for the Monsoon Season

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office announced on the 13th that from the 15th of this month until next month, it will conduct a special inspection on environmental impact assessment sites where large-scale development projects are underway and where soil runoff and collapse accidents are a concern during rainfall, to check whether the agreed measures are being implemented.

This inspection will be carried out by selecting 15 large-scale development sites within the jurisdiction, including soil and stone excavation, tourist complexes, and industrial complex construction projects.

During the inspection, the focus will be on verifying the proper installation of soil runoff reduction facilities such as sedimentation basins and drainage channels, as well as ensuring slope stability through slope protection works and greening, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of post-management of environmental impact assessments.

Based on the inspection results, administrative actions such as requesting implementation of agreed measures, ordering suspension of construction, imposing fines, and referring for investigation will be taken against violating sites.

Director Kim Seung-hee emphasized, “Through this focused inspection, we will strengthen the responsibility of project operators in implementing agreed measures such as proper installation of soil runoff reduction facilities and securing slope stability, to provide a safer living environment for the public.”
