[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The People Power Party's Namyangju-si Eul (Onam-eup, Jinjeop-eup, Byeollae, Byeollae-dong) Party Member Council has called for the rejection of the 'Onam-eup Waste Recycling Business Approval.'

According to the party council on the 19th, a company located in Pocheon-si requested business approval for a comprehensive waste recycling operation at 29 and 23, Yangji-ro Daedaeul 1-gil, Onam-eup, Namyangju-si, which has led to opposition from nearby residents and businesses.

Residents are concerned about water and air pollution, fire and explosion accidents related to the industry, and traffic congestion caused by work vehicle traffic.

Community leaders, including the Onam-eup village chiefs' council and heads of social organizations, have formed a Residents' Countermeasure Committee (hereafter referred to as the Committee) for joint response, agreeing to express opposition to the project on behalf of all organizations.

The Committee has currently submitted 1,845 copies of documents reflecting residents' opinions and 5,306 signatures along with a petition to the city.

Gwak Gwan-yong, the party council chairman, ordered the council to "reexamine the approval procedures and communicate with residents," adding, "We will also quickly devise measures to activate a resident opinion collection system to prevent recurrence of similar cases in the future."

Lee Kyung-sook, a Namyangju city council member (Onam-eup), said, "The council will do its best to ensure that residents' opinions are reflected as much as possible for the sustainable and eco-friendly development of Onam."
