(Community)”Shut Down and Start Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter Sulfuric Acid Detector”… “10-Day Fishing Suspension” will probably be added.

The Ministry of Environment also said it found that the Yeongpo Seokpo Smelter in Gyeongsangbuk-do violated the terms of the environmental pollution facility integration permit.

On the 4th, an occasional inspection by the Daegu Regional Environmental Agency confirmed that 7 of the 11 sulfuric acid gas detectors of the Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter were operating off, and the display board of one of them was broken.

He also revealed that he was subject to a “10-day suspension of operations” for this being his second breach of integrated permit conditions after he was caught in May last year for not always operating ammonia removal plants.

After listening to the smelter’s explanation of the procedure, the Ministry of Environment decided to make the final decision on whether to stop operations.

According to the Law on Integrated Management of Environmental Pollution, businesses that do not comply with the integrated permit conditions will be given a warning for the first time, a 10-day suspension for the second time, and a 1-month suspension for the third time. and received a 3-month suspension for the fourth time.

Apart from the incident, the smelter was recently sentenced to a “two-month suspension” by the Supreme Court after it was determined that it had discharged wastewater without permission in 2019.
