Yeongsangang Regional Environmental Office Conducts Inspection and Monitoring of Pollution Load Allocation Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office announced on the 5th that it will conduct guidance and inspections on public sewage and wastewater treatment facilities, which are pollution load allocation facilities, until the end of December to improve the water quality of the Yeongsan and Seomjin Rivers.

This inspection is conducted to verify whether the pollutant discharge loads for each facility comply within the allocated load limits following the establishment of the 4th phase (2021-2030) total water pollution load management implementation plan.

The flow and water quality of discharged water from 47 public sewage and wastewater treatment facilities, which are pollution load allocation facilities, will be checked to inspect compliance with allocated load limits and proper management of measuring instruments for each facility.

If it is confirmed that the pollutant discharge load exceeds the allocated load, the facility managers/operators will be ordered to improve the facilities and will be charged an excess total load fee.

Furthermore, facilities that repeatedly exceed limits and those with inadequate operation and management will be actively guided to induce efficient operation.

Kim Seung-hee, head of the Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office, stated, “We will strive to contribute to improving the water quality of the Yeongsan and Seomjin Rivers by continuously inspecting public sewage and wastewater treatment facilities, which are pollution load allocation facilities, to reduce pollutant discharge loads.”
