Osan City Strengthens Crackdown on Dust-Generating Worksites

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Lee Suwon] Osan City announced on the 29th that it will strengthen inspections of major dust-generating construction worksites from the 1st to the 16th of next month as spring approaches with worsening fine dust and yellow dust.

To this end, the city will conduct joint inspections with Osan City honorary environmental monitors, focusing on △whether dust-related business notifications (changes) have been reported △whether dust barriers and nets are installed △whether wheel washing facilities are properly operated △the condition of dust covers on stockpiled materials △whether entrance and exit roads are paved, and whether other necessary measures are being implemented.

Jang Hyun-ju, Director of the Environment Division, stated, "To reduce high-concentration fine dust during spring, intensive management of fugitive dust, one of the main sources, is very necessary," and added, "Through this special crackdown, we will strictly manage fugitive dust to prevent illegal activities and work to ensure that Osan residents can live in a healthier and more pleasant environment."
