Daejeon City Intensifies Monitoring of 'Environmental Pollution Acts' During Lunar New Year Holiday

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City will intensively monitor environmental pollution acts such as unauthorized discharge of pollutants during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

According to the city on the 9th, the intensive monitoring will be conducted from the 11th to the 27th of this month, targeting industrial complexes and factory-dense areas within the jurisdiction, as well as rivers near factories.

The city and five autonomous districts plan to carry out intensive monitoring in three stages: before, during, and after the holiday period. From the 11th to the 20th, before the holiday, advance guidance and voluntary inspections will be encouraged for key monitoring facilities, along with focused patrols in vulnerable areas.

Additionally, from the 21st to the 24th, situation rooms will be established and operated by each agency to maintain an emergency communication system with related organizations and to respond promptly to environmental pollution accidents if they occur.

From the 25th to the 27th, after the holiday period, technical support will be provided to small and vulnerable environmental management companies to ensure normal operation of emission and prevention facilities.

Shin Yong-hyun, Director of the Environmental Greenery Bureau of the city, said, “We plan to intensively monitor environmental pollution acts before and after the holiday so that citizens can spend the Lunar New Year holiday with peace of mind.”
