Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, will conduct a 'Special Summer Inspection of Facilities Emitting Environmental Pollutants' until the 31st.


The inspection targets 26 car wash businesses discharging wastewater within the district and the area around Gwangju Stream.


It includes frequent monitoring of fish deaths due to river water pollution, crackdowns on unauthorized businesses discharging environmental pollutants, and measuring pollution levels by collecting discharge water samples from suspected high-concentration wastewater discharging businesses.


Mild issues will be addressed through on-site administrative guidance to encourage voluntary improvement, while serious legal violations will be subject to administrative actions such as prosecution and fines.
