Changnyeong-gun Intensifies Crackdown on Unauthorized Livestock Manure and Wastewater Discharge During Monsoon Season

Intentional Violations, Zero Tolerance Judicial Measures

Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will conduct intensive inspections of wastewater and livestock wastewater discharge facilities until August 31 to prevent water pollution and algal bloom during the rainy season.

This intensive inspection aims to prevent water pollution that may occur due to unauthorized discharge of wastewater during heavy rains in the rainy season or the leakage of waste (such as water-soluble cutting oil) stored or abandoned at business sites into public water bodies along with rainwater.

The main inspection items include ▲whether discharge and treatment facilities are operating normally ▲compliance with discharge standards ▲installation of secret discharge outlets ▲proper storage standards for business site waste ▲and adherence to management standards.

In addition, for intentional violations, strong measures such as zero-tolerance legal actions and immediate suspension of operations will be enforced to raise awareness.

The inspection team consists of four teams with eight members each, conducting surprise inspections without prior notice, and will carry out intensive inspections during nighttime hours for business sites suspected of unauthorized discharge.

A county official stated, “We will do our best to provide a more pleasant and clean environment for the residents of Changnyeong-gun through appropriate responses at the ‘Nakdong River Algal Bloom Warning’ stage during this special inspection.”
