Gwonseon-gu Implementation of Environmental Technology Support Home-Doctor Program

Gwonseon-gu (District Chief: Kim Jung-soo) will implement an "Environmental Technology Support Home-Doctor" program for seven days from the 4th to 12th of next month, targeting 50 pollutant-emitting businesses within the district that lack environmental management technical capabilities.

The Home-Doctor program is a system that provides free support to small and vulnerable pollutant-emitting businesses facing difficulties with environmental management by having environmental specialists visit the facilities directly, diagnose emission and prevention equipment, and provide technical guidance and operational instructions tailored to each business's circumstances.

The environmental technology support will be carried out by a support team (2 teams, 6 personnel) composed of experienced environmental technical specialists and civil servants who will visit the pollutant-emitting businesses directly to guide operational and management methods for proper operation of environmental facilities, investigate the capacity, functionality, and maintenance status of pollutant treatment facilities to diagnose current conditions, and propose improvement directions.

A district official stated, "The Home-Doctor program is designed to move away from regulation-focused enforcement and provide businesses with substantive improvements in operations and management as well as administrative support, enabling business operators to actively participate in environmental management to prevent and forestall environmental pollution in advance."

Pollutant-emitting businesses in Gwonseon-gu can inquire about matters or seek consultation related to the Environmental Technology Support program by contacting the Environmental Sanitation Division's Environmental Guidance Team of Gwonseon-gu (228-6333).
