The key inspection items include boundary encroachment and boundary marking in buffer zones, compliance with permit standards, legality of development permits and other activities, management and installation of sedimentation basins and wheel washing facilities to prevent soil runoff, and compliance with environmental laws regarding dust generation.

If violations are found during the on-site inspection, corrective actions will be taken immediately. Intentional or habitual violations will be strictly enforced with judicial measures and fines according to relevant laws.

In particular, administrative measures such as temporary suspension of permits will be imposed on sites or businesses that fail to comply with administrative orders.

Additionally, necessary measures and thorough management will be taken to prevent damage in areas prone to landslides around business sites and slopes due to heavy rains, ensuring thorough disaster risk preparedness.
