Jeonnam-Gwangju Regional Incinerator Sites Narrowed from 9 to 4
Jangdeung-dong in Buk-gu and Dongsan-dong, Samgeo-dong, and Jipyeong-dong in Gwangsan-gu selected
Final candidate site to be determined following a feasibility study by a specialized agency
The candidate sites for the regional resource recovery facility (incinerator) being pursued by Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City have been narrowed from nine to four. The four sites are one in Jangdeung-dong, Buk-gu, and three in Dongsan-dong, Samgeo-dong and Jipyeong-dong, Gwangsan-gu.
According to Gwangju Special City on October 19, the Site Selection Committee for the regional resource recovery facility held a meeting that day and selected four of the nine sites submitted by the four autonomous districts for investigation and evaluation.
The committee reviewed site conditions and the opinions of the autonomous districts and excluded five sites. The districts’ views were taken into account that these areas have high conservation value because more than 70% of them consist of Grade 1 or 2 land in development-restricted zones (GB). Two of the five sites also failed to meet the requirements for application area or resident consent rate.
To improve transparency in the selection process, the committee decided to disclose each candidate site's legal-dong name and representative lot number, applicant category, application area, resident consent rate and sale consent rate.
The four selected sites will undergo a feasibility study by a specialized agency and then receive a comprehensive evaluation. The study plan will be announced on October 22 in the official gazette, on the website and in daily newspapers, in accordance with the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Promotion of Installation of Waste Disposal Facilities and Assistance to Their Surrounding Areas.
