Osan City Strengthens Crackdown on Illegal Activities Around Streams and Valleys

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Kap-dong] Osan City conducted a field inspection of illegal facilities around Osan Stream on the 4th.

In line with a recent presidential directive on "cleanup of illegal activities around streams and valleys," the inspection aimed to strengthen on-site administration. The joint inspection team, led by Acting Mayor Yoon Young-mi and composed of related departments including the Director of Environmental Services, the Head of Stream and Greenery Division, the Head of Building Division, and the Head of Sanitation Division, directly visited the site of illegal facilities around Osan Stream in Eungye-dong to assess the situation.

The inspection covered a total of four locations of illegal commercial activities and facilities, including illegal parasol and deck installations, based on verification data from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The inspection focused on confirming illegal occupancy such as mobile outdoor tents, storage facilities, and pergolas installed by commercial establishments. The city ordered immediate guidance and restoration measures for violations. Particularly regarding matters related to the use of state-owned property, it was requested that relevant agencies such as the Korea Water Resources Corporation cooperate to promptly verify facts and conduct cleanup.

Meanwhile, the city plans to continue administrative measures and regular patrols in areas where illegal facilities are confirmed to prevent recurrence.

Acting Mayor Yoon Young-mi stated, "Streams and valleys are public assets that all citizens should share," and added, "We will respond strictly to illegal occupation with a zero-tolerance policy, and through continuous joint inspections and monitoring, we will create a clean and safe stream environment."
