Resource Circulation Center Landfill to be Built at Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex in Wonsam-myeon

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] A 75,340㎡ 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex Resource Circulation Center (Landfill)' will be constructed in Wonsam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, Yongin City.

Yongin Special City announced on the 9th that it will establish a waste disposal facility for the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex' by actively reflecting the opinions of residents in Wonsam-myeon, Cheoin-gu.

The city directed and ensured that Yongin General Industrial Complex Co., Ltd., the project operator for the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex,' does not bring in external waste in connection with the construction of the waste disposal facility.

The project operator announced on the 5th a plan for 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex Waste Disposal Facility Site Supply' reflecting the opinions of the city and residents.

The 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex Resource Circulation Center (Landfill) Development Project' clearly specifies that it will treat waste generated within the industrial complex.

It will cover an area of 75,340㎡, with a landfill area of 43,901㎡. The total landfill capacity is 1,326,525㎥, and it will operate as a managed landfill facility equipped with an air dome (semi-aerobic sanitary landfill, cell method). The landfill lifespan is approximately 19.75 years.

Bidding for the waste disposal facility site supply announcement will be held until June 24th on the Korea Asset Management Service's electronic asset disposal system, Onbid (http://www.onbid.co.kr). Final results will be announced after 10 a.m. on the 25th.

Applicant qualifications require companies that have operated or are currently operating landfills of 928,568㎥ or more within the past five years, and that can operate the landfill in accordance with entry contracts with Yongin City, the managing authority, and relevant laws.

Additionally, these must be facilities capable of installing and operating landfills for final disposal target waste under 10 years or more in accordance with the 'Act on Promotion of Installation of Waste Disposal Facilities and Support for Surrounding Areas.' The waste disposal facility operation period for the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex' is set at 19 years.

Yongin General Industrial Complex Co., Ltd. will hold a public hearing on the 13th at Wonsam-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, disclosing the draft environmental impact assessment report for the waste disposal facility of the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex' and addressing residents.

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "As the city recognizes the importance of the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex' and supports it even by forming a task force, I hope the project operator will make efforts to respect and reflect the opinions of the city and residents for the successful establishment of the industrial complex," and added, "During the development of the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex' that will lead South Korea's semiconductor industry, Yongin City will mediate and assist so that the project operator can establish a model case of mutual prosperity through active communication with residents."
