Hello. I will start the meeting. The meeting will be resumed at 4 a.m. The announcement of the public meeting is posted in the assembly room, but I will inform you that the public cannot watch it. After a brief silence, I will swear to the flag. I swear allegiance to a nation that has freedom and justice for all people, a nation that cannot be divided, a nation under God, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, and a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a nation that symbolizes the United States of America and China, a
If all the members agree, the case will be passed. I need your consent and re-appointment to start the debate.
I agree with the 6th item of the regular case. I agree. All right. I re-appoint. I re-appoint. I agree and re-appoint. All right. I'll hand it over to Mr. Steve. Mr. Mayor, members. This special meeting was held to inform the local community about the status of the sewage treatment plant and the recent situation related to the biological treatment system. Our sewage treatment plant is largely operated in two systems. The first is a mechanical treatment system that removes impurities and impurities. The impurities are compressed and removed. It also has a UV treatment system for sterilization. These systems are all operating normally. However, there was a problem with the biological treatment system. Let me give you an example of one of our SBR reaction devices. We are operating an SBR system consisting of four cells. One cell has completely lost its function, and two cells are operating at about 20% of the biological processing capacity, and the other cell is operating at about 10% of the capacity. Overall, the biological processing part is maintained within 10%. This means that there is no change in our local society. We do not ask anyone in the community to change their daily life or take any other measures. You can continue your daily life as usual. You can also run a business as usual. We are focusing a little more on the industrial sector. Yesterday, we issued a letter asking for a reduction in the amount if we can let you know the biological processing status of each industry. Considering today's situation, one or two industries or all industries may request a reduction of a certain ratio. On Friday, I first confirmed that the 4th processing plant was completely shut down and that the other three processing plants were also experiencing difficulties. As a result of this situation, It is estimated that it is a part of the sterilized chemical substance commonly used in industrial sites. So, I visited the site with NNWDEE in the afternoon from 10 a.m. this morning. I visited Acton Nutrition, Highland Roberts, and just went to WizzPack. Yes, do they all use such chemicals? Yes, they all use them. The problem is that when these chemicals are high in concentration, they are accumulated in sewage sludge. As they accumulate, they destroy more and more of the biochemical microorganisms in the sewage processing plant and lower their biochemical processing capabilities. Currently, our system has enough of these chemicals accumulated, and we have confirmed that a significant amount of microorganisms have been destroyed by SBR. As a result, we have distributed the reporting data. In the reporting data released around 11 a.m. this morning, we have told you a few details about what we are doing. First, It is important to identify the places that use a lot of these sterilized chemicals. After identifying such places, you may request or request certain companies to install a kind of barrier. The barrier already exists. Nebraska City recently experienced a situation where the sewage treatment plant was stopped operating, and installed a four-stage ammonium carbon blockage in one or two of the main industrial facilities. As a result, sewage quality has improved significantly and microorganisms have been recovered. We are looking for a way forward by modeling Nebraska City's case as a model. As mentioned, we have identified one or two industrial facilities that use 4-grade ammonium chemical blockers or sterilized chemicals more than other companies. At the meeting this afternoon, I asked them to install the quad blocker, and the two managers are currently working on installing the quad blocker. I can't tell you exactly how long it will take, but I don't think it will take long. I expect the surface installation to be completed in two to three days. At that point, ROV has already begun to remove old objects from the system. Therefore, chemicals must be removed from the system. Then, by using active sludge in a different water treatment plant, we can re-vaccinate SBR and re-increase biochemical microorganisms. This is the plan. As you know, if everything goes as I just explained, I discussed with several people about whether to introduce a package system right now. I don't think it's appropriate to introduce temporary facilities. It will take at least 8 weeks, 12 weeks or 16 weeks to install temporary facilities. Well, it's a good thing that the biological treatment facility has been stopped operating, so it can prevent misleading creatures. because they are killing the animals that are injected with the sterilized chemicals in the facility. Therefore, the possibility that an unwanted animal will be released due to the type of chemical used is expected to be quite small. Well, I don't think there's anything else I can tell you in the report, If you have any questions, please let me know anytime. When do you expect the biological treatment facility to be reoperated? If we can install a blockage device in the region in two to three days, I think that's about possible. Well, I think we'll be able to start regenerating new organisms in a place called cell 4. Regeneration is premeditated, and there is a high possibility that it will proceed immediately. If you start the vaccination, it is expected to take about 6 to 8 weeks. Can it be shorter? Of course it is possible. However, as of now, it is expected to operate 100% normally with a capacity of 6 to 8 weeks.
Steve, what kind of changes do the citizens feel at home? Is there anything to notice? Or is there any change? No, there won't be anything different from usual.
The sewer system will deal with water and sewage as usual. As you know, use a toilet, use a sink, and use a food processor. There will be no change in your lifestyle. Then, if it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to rebuild, what impact will it have on environmental regulations? There is a possibility. The most important thing in this process is to continue communicating with EPA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is important to continue to inform the procedures that are in progress and are being adopted. The EPA will not conclude that we will not be adopted. I can't conclude that either. If we are adopted, we can't help it. Is there a possibility that some kind of penalty will be imposed because it does not meet the conditions? Yes, there is. What I want to ask is how the penalty will be imposed. We will be inspecting the substances that are released for 6 to 8 weeks. What is the current sewage that flows into the Elkhorn River? And how is it processed in our system? Can you explain what the process looks like? How about the downstream? Yes. When the sewage is imported, first remove heavy sand or sand-like sewage through a sieve. Then, pass through the screen and filter out the solid. Solid can contain various things such as human excrement, sludge, etc. All these substances are separated, and the remaining waste is finally drained through a dehumidifier, a vacuum cleaner, and a disinfection system. I wonder what impact this process has on the environment. Well, perhaps the biggest environmental problem is BOD, that is, biological oxygen demand. BOD can exist in this sewer, and there are also fertilizers. BOD is likely to cause fish extinction, and as you can see in the report, we have informed the public about the possibility of fish extinction. In particular, fish extinction can occur in areas within 1,000 feet of the dam, about 300 meters from the dam. We notified the Natural Resources Department, NRD, and the Wildlife and Wildlife Administration, Game Fish and Parks, AAC. This notification was made through NWD, not the city. Do you have any other questions? When considering the processing capacity that we can currently handle, do we need to limit the inflow? There is a possibility. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or early this morning, I and Rob will meet to decide whether to limit the inflow of a specific industry. Every processing plant is different. The yield is different, the chemical composition is different, so the BOD or TSS of the fertilizer is different. So we evaluated it, and we decided where the most cost-effective place was, and we will announce it tomorrow morning. Steve, you said it takes about 6 to 8 weeks for the biological ecosystem to recover or regrow. That's right. Does temperature affect it? Or does it not affect it? We can say that biological growth is the most active time now. I like warm weather. It's not too hot, it's not too cold. So now is the best time for the biological ecosystem to recover. What does the best time mean? Steve, has this happened in the past? And is there a way to prevent this from happening again in the future? There was a similar incident in Nebraska City in the past. In Nebraska City, We figured out the problem and came up with a solution. The problem was a sterilized chemical called Quart, Quart, or QCD, but I don't know the exact name. I don't know where Quart, Quart is used. At Nebraska City, we found a blocker that prevents this chemical from sticking to any substance. We did the work of pressing the solid water in the lobe and its staff in the facility, and the mesh over there, and checked if there was any solid water left in the water that came out after pressing the solid water to remove the moisture. Fortunately, there was nothing left. This means that the solid water is firmly attached to the solid water. As a result, as you know, we usually dispose of high-end waste, but for the time being, we will not dispose of high-end waste here. We will be ready until it is decided that it is safe enough to start disposing again. There is a correct question. I'm curious about what happens if you file a fine related to this incident at EPA Naju or the federal government. We signed up for the alarm system as insurance, and I wonder what direction you came down from there today. I'm curious if you can temporarily compensate for the fine. I will answer you after the situation progresses a little more. Yes. If you look at the case, there is an overreaction against the owner of the industrial area. We will definitely review whether there was an overreaction in the industrial area that caused this incident. If such a situation occurs, of course, we will communicate appropriately. This question is a very easy question. In the next six weeks, the number of employees will increase considerably. What measures are you taking so that the employees do not have to move out because they are tired? Our employees are really great. They are really great employees. We are doing our best to finish the work as soon as possible. Yes, could you come out in front of the microphone?
Yes, Mr. Lope. I am a sewerage manager and a high-end waste management manager. Once again, our employees are really great and dedicated. We have worked hard to get through this situation for a long time. We are trying to overcome this situation well. As you know, we have done a lot of work as a team, so I think we can get through this difficulty well. I've had similar experiences with other projects. The employees are a really great team, and they cooperate well with each other. Yes, there are really great employees. They are really great people.
And do you think early action on this situation will help in the long run? These problems are not easy to discover.
Yes, thanks to early action and early inspection, we were able to discover it before it became a big problem. Again, thanks to the excellent employees and excellent laboratory technology, We were able to solve the problem and we were able to figure out where the problem occurred. Now we have to solve the problem and remove it from the system so that it can be operated normally again. Once again, our priority task is the health and safety of the local community. We chose a place to relocate the sewer sludge, and it is a safe place to relocate on the site. But we couldn't find a way to deal with it safely because it contained sterilizers. Yes, and again, this is about the health and safety of our local society, and that's why we're here and we're committed to it. Our sewage treatment plant is a very good facility. We're doing a lot of great things every day. No matter how much I praise the field workers, they're not too much. They're very smart people. In the future,
Are you separating cells from cells, removing high-quality materials from those cells, and then starting growth again? Yes, that's right.
Once again, I would like to thank you. Today, you contacted us to bring sludge-activated sludge from other water treatment plants. Columbus did, and Fremont also discussed with small-scale regional societies such as ours. What you call sludge refers to living high-quality materials where microorganisms already exist. Therefore, we need to re-infect and regenerate the microorganisms here. The microorganisms naturally exist in the environment. We're not just buying bugs. The bug I'm talking about means bacteria. Certain bacteria play a certain role. So it's a really good thing that we already have such bacteria in the sludge we're bringing in. And we've been cooperating closely with local communities. Thank you very much. Yes, we are running a 4-cell SBR system, and only one cell can be stopped. Last Tuesday, there was a problem, so we stopped one cell. We were wasting the cell because we were checking that the sludge on the floor was hardening. Now, empty the cell, bring in a new tumor, vaccinate it, re-move it, and repeat the over-vaccination process. I think someone asked a question. I don't know if it was me or Scott, but it was a question about the amount of water used.
How do you expect the amount of water used by the main water users in our local society? What effect does it have on them? Should we use a sewerage system? No, no. I'm asking the amount of water used at this point. Is there a limit to water use?
Yes, and... Another part is that we have conducted a processing test so far. We have tested the processing number at the EPA Certified Research Institute, but the Q10E was not detected in the processing number.
So... Are you talking about the water coming out of the processing plant today?
Yes, the processing plant has a UV sterilization system, so disinfection is effective. This system was designed with 12 million gallons. It is currently operating at 3.5 million gallons, so it is certain that disinfection can be maintained without any problems. As Steven said earlier, our biggest concern is the total supply of TSS . Some of our facilities are in operation. The saline filter has stopped operation. It is responsible for removing TSS from the single charge unit and increasing BOD. The saline filter's biological processing process plays this role a lot, but it is currently in operation. There is some activity going on inside, but we hope to maintain this state and continue to increase BOD in the future. Therefore, the sewerage is still in progress. It is not a river that does not purify the sewer. We have lost about 20-30% of the current processing capacity.
Yes, so the first thing I thought when I heard the news was that I would not keep spilling water after opening the water gate. Yes, so I think that's important. Again, we are paying attention. Yes, Mr. Ah. As you can see, health is not only related to us but also to the health of the surrounding community.
그리고 팀원들과 함께 문제를 꼼꼼하게 조사하고 해결해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다. 여러분은 시에 큰 도움이 되고 있어요. 감사합니다. 수. 저희도 감사하게 생각합니다. 로. 질문 하나 드릴게요.
Is there a way to monitor pollutants from various industries? Are each industry managing it on its own?
In the case of some industries, some industries take 24-hour complex samples every day and test them. In these 24-hour complex samples, we test certain substances, but we do not test all chemicals. These chemicals are difficult to test and it is difficult to find an experimental room where they can be tested. Again, we are an experimental room that has been certified by EPA. We can test BOD, organic matter, COD, and nitrogen, but it is very difficult to detect these chemicals. We are using a new technology called ORP, and thanks to this technology, we were able to figure out to some extent what kind of substances there are. Yes, it's not as simple as people think. It's not just collecting materials and analyzing the ingredients. It's a very complex system. Biologically, what we do every day is very complicated. If you haven't visited the wastewater treatment site yet, please visit it after 8 weeks. You will be surprised by what we do every day and its ability. But it's not easy to test all the chemicals on the market. As you know, biologically, it can be disassembled. But this is a long-term disinfectant. It's originally made for that purpose. That's why it's a problem. Females can be disassembled relatively quickly, but this is just hard to deal with because it's so strong. You can handle a small amount, but you can't handle a large amount this time.
You said there was an emergency storage facility. Yes, there is. A storage facility for high-end materials. I can review that part.
I'm also concerned about the smell problem. There are many plans, but I think we need to look at the situation a little more. I've already taken a few measures.
Is there an opportunity to secure additional storage facilities to move the factory faster?
You probably don't need it. And I don't want to do that. It's impossible because there's too much processing. Yes.
Because we have to process 3 million gallons a day.
And the biggest problem is that we have to re-move other cells, so we can only work on one cell at a time. I see. And nothing can come in anymore.
I'm sorry, but can I tell you a little bit about the storage capacity? How much capacity can be stored in one cell? How do you measure it? Do you measure it in yards? Is the waste in yards, gallons, or...?
Yes, there are various processes in the factory. Usually, it is measured in gallons. If it is dry, it can be measured in yards. The solid is measured in yards. Separate the solid and store it in another storage container. In general, in the process of processing waste, the product is separated and pressed with a belt press. Then it is concentrated and sinks. So now there is much more water to be removed. Therefore, it takes longer to separate the solid. Because you have to press more water than the solid. So it is one idea to move to another storage container. Fill the tank with water and come back later to compress and store it. Otherwise, you have to compress a lot of water, wait, turn off the pump, compress the water again, wait, and repeat the process of turning off the pump. This takes a little longer. So one of the possible ways is to fill the water in one of the existing tanks outside and come back later to compress it. This can activate the bacteria faster.
Then, what should community members take advantage of? Yes, there is a malnutrition problem. Malnutrition is definitely a problem.
If the biological processing is not properly done, malnutrition will occur. Whenever malnutrition occurs in our sewage processing plant, we think that there has been no problem in managing the processing quantity so far, but the cause of malnutrition is usually due to biological imbalance. As you know, in general, the saline filter smells like soil, or the soil smells stronger when water comes out of the processing process.
So when everything is normal, we check the smell every day. And it's usually like that now. Yes, of course, there are bad days for everyone. We have no choice but to deal with it as it is. So it's hard to predict every day. I think some of the residents are here to talk about the smell problem. Will the smell continue for a while?
Yes, it can smell until the biological purification effect returns to normal. But it's not that serious. We'll be able to solve that part somehow. So... South wind 2. I hope there's no south wind. We don't like the south wind either. I don't want to go to work when the weather is bad. So... There's no toxic material in the air itself, right? Yes.
I'll give you a question. If this happens again and it takes about 6 to 8 weeks, will you be able to restore it 100%? How serious damage will it be if this amount of input occurs again?
Um, that's a good question. There are some parts that I can answer, and I think I should turn some parts around and tell you. It depends on the degree of damage. For example, let's assume that 20% of the bacteria is gone due to damage. If the same thing repeats in the next cycle, I fell by 40%, 50%, and 60%. What's important is recovery. We get hit all day long. The ability to recover in the next cycle is important. I'm telling you again, I don't want to go too deep. Because the biological part is really complicated. There are various kinds of microorganisms in our cells. There are young microorganisms, medium-stage microorganisms, and old microorganisms. The complexity is important. The first thing that comes back is the young microorganisms. It is also related to the age of our body, the disease, and the age of our body. They do a lot of work. They do a lot of work around here and there, but they don't do direct work. Instead, it helps to break down the matter. After that time, the medium-stage sludge appears, and it takes about 3 to 4 weeks. Bacteria are like working classes. They are people who actually work. It's all work. If we can start that, it's a really good thing. At the third stage, sophisticated microorganisms appear. They know how to decompose more complex substances. To succeed in this project, we need all three categories. So it takes a long time. You have to match the age of the sludge, and you have to match the combination of bacteria well. Oh, and sophisticated microorganisms can't function easily. It's like getting tired when you get old like a person. So you can be influenced, but I'm sure you can turn it around as soon as you don't have a big problem. Um, and one thing. To tell you the truth, you used the term heat, but I can't say this is a result of heat.
This is the result of the accumulation of chemicals. As Robi mentioned, this chemical has a fairly long shelf life or half-life. Yes, the exact half-life is still under investigation. You know how this happened, right? Yes, but I want to say that this is not an attack. That's right. The fact that what just happened is classified as an attack is to talk about stress-related problems that can occur on a daily basis at the power plant.
That kind of stress can occur anywhere. So, um, anyway, in this case, I want to emphasize that citizens should know that the investigation is underway.
This case will never be considered lightly. Do you have any other questions? I've seen a few questions online, and some of them seem to be curious. If you declare an emergency and post a plan on Facebook or social media, no one knows what's going to happen. One of the questions I saw was, Can I drink water? Is water safe? Please tell me about this part. And secondly, Can I use a washing machine, a food processor, a bathroom, and a shower room? How can it affect my daily life?
There will be no impact on the residential area.
정수장은 마을 서쪽에 있습니다. 저희는 마을의 양쪽 끝에 위치해 있어서 영향을 받지 않습니다. 그리고 체드. 저희보다 하류에 사는 사람들에게는 어떤 영향이 있을까요? 오늘 아침 회의 후에 좀 더 알아봤습니다. Mr. Mayor, this is a good question. Wait a minute. Would you answer that question? Yes, what I want to tell you is that the two villages in Haru have been notified, and it is possible that they will be affected by the underground water flowing from the Elkhorn River. However, generally speaking, based on the reported data, you can avoid contact with old corn fields near our sewer. Yes, I understand. Do you have any other questions? No, that's all. Thank you. Lowering your blood sugar level is actually helpful for us.
One more time. Would you like to tell us more about our daily life?
We all have a specific microorganism in our bodies. That's where we get a lot of bacteria seeds. To be honest, that's the way our bodies work.
So it doesn't affect anything. That part doesn't affect anything. So you can live your daily life as usual.
Again, we don't have anything to ask you. It's completely different from your daily life or the way you used to do it. Steve, I was going to ask you, too. How much is the curd blocker? How does it work and how do you get the money? I don't have an answer to that question. I don't think it's an expensive chemical or a waste treatment add-on. There is no more detailed information. I'm just asking because I'm curious. Is there a product that is more environmentally friendly than the toxic detergent you are using now? 아, 롭은 저보다 이 업계에 훨씬 오래 계셨잖아요. 음, 제가 아는 한 가지 제품이 더 있습니다. 정확한 약자는 기억나지 않지만 PPAAAP인 것 같은데, 간단히 말해서 네, 있습니다. 음, 하지만 다시 말씀드리지만, 이건 아주 흔한 화학물질이고, If you use it properly, it won't be a problem. I think it's been used in our industry for decades. Steve, you talked about the fire protection. Are you more worried from a certain distance? Or are you not worried at all? Or are you less worried? It's hard to tell you the exact numbers, but for recreation purposes, I think it's very safe where it's about 30 miles or 48 kilometers away. You can say that the front of the dam is relatively dangerous. That's why there's a full-fledged area. Because the water touches the cotton. The Elkhorn River varies depending on the flow, but the more flow there is, the more active the natural ecosystem is and the more sunlight there is. Brighter days are better than dark days. So, if you're a recreation kayaker, it's better to avoid 30 miles a day for a few weeks. I recommend you do that. But again, As I said, the first 0.5 mile section is much more important. Do you have any additional questions for the members? All right. There are no questions from the members, so we will wait for your questions. I'll just ask you one question. Where exactly is Park Ryujin? Where exactly is Park Ryujin? Do you know how many miles away from First Street to the east? It's 0.75 miles. So First Street is about 0.75 miles east of the street. It's south of Hwansung Station. Victory It's a little west of the road. How much is the flow rate? It's about 2 million waves per day, about 3 million gallons. If the water level is low, don't flow. Is there a lot of movement? That's right. It may sink into the groundwater, but it won't sink. It will sink into the ground, but it won't pollute the groundwater. I see. Sir, please tell me your name for the record. I'm sorry. I'm Doug Binnie.
Thank you. Yes. Doug, thank you. Is there anyone else? Steve, I have one more question.
It hasn't been long since the fine was imposed, but it still seems to be a problem. So it's more of a concern than a question, but I think we need to re-evaluate whether the fine is high enough and strong enough to prevent this from happening again. It's more of a concern than a question. We need to take action. 짐 몇 캔지? 벌금에 대해 추가 질문입니다. 시내 특정 업체와 문제가 있었고 벌금에 대해 논의했었는데 누가 책임이 있는지 밝혀낼 건가요? 그리고 우리는 지역사회에 알릴 건가요? Generally, I think so. As you know, it is important to ensure that the food industry, especially these sanitary conditions, follow the sanitary regulations in important places. Today, I visited three facilities, and Quartz was detected in all three of them. This is a common hygiene problem in the food production process. The reason why Quartz was accumulated in the sewage treatment system is because the amount of Quartz used has increased to a level that has not been seen in decades. This is why our facility is closed. 그렇다면 쿼트의 출처를 알게 될까요? 네. 벌금 부과 등에 대한 논의가 있을까요? 그럴 것으로 예상합니다. 우리 하수처리장은 지역 주민들과 기업들이 배출하는 폐수를 처리하기 위해 지역 주민들이 소유하고 있습니다. If we continue to abuse that system, we will now have a bad effect on our environment and the local community of Ganghwaryo. Now is the time to take serious action. This is all I want to say. Thank you. Is there anyone else? 아무도 없나요? 제 이름은 제리 노딘입니다. 여기 계신 분들 중 몇 분은 아시는 분이고, 많은 분들은 처음 보는 분들이시네요. 제가 서명해야 하나요? I haven't attended a council meeting since I quit my position as a congressman. And my name is engraved on the bottom of the drain. When I was a congressman, the facilities were greatly improved. So I think I should ask for strong measures against chemicals used by these industries. 농업 종사자들에게는 지하수 오염을 막기 위해 질소 사용량을 줄여달라고 요청했잖아요. 노폭 시민으로서 우리도 마땅히 해야 할 일이라고 생각합니다. 음, 이 산업들을 면밀히 살펴보고 화학물질 사용을 개선하거나, 우리 시설과 이들 산업 사이에 오염을 줄일 수 있는 조치를 취하도록 요청해야 합니다. 그리고, 음, Yes. Most of you seem to be very grateful but at the same time, you seem to be standing in a position where you can't feel grateful. I was like that, too. Every meeting, half of the people really hated me for getting angry. The ratio of people who opposed every meeting was different. But I'm glad to be able to tell you this myself. I'm 84 years old, so it doesn't sound as good as it used to, so I'd like you to increase the volume of the sound system a little bit. That's the only suggestion I can give you. I don't know who it is. Are you an engineer? Yes, that's right. Yes, I see. I didn't hear your name. Yes, I'm Steven Ramos. Steven, nice to meet you. And this person? John Robertson. I'm in charge of the city budget. Yes. John Robertson. I'm in charge of the city budget. I'm in charge of finance. Yes, I see. Thank you. Um, Jerry. When were you at the demonstration? What year was it? My age. I told you. I don't remember. Don't you want to check it again? It's been a long time ago. It's been a long time ago. Yes. You'll know when you see the nameplate. Yes, I will. Yes, I see. And, um, maybe. 다른 생각이 있었던 것 같은데 제 나이를 말씀드렸잖아요. 그래서 다시 기억이 안 나네요. 노폭 시민들을 위해 최선을 다해주세요. 알겠죠. 저는 여러분 모두 그렇게 하려고 한다는 걸 알아요. 때로는 의견이 다를 때도 있고 때로는 같을 때도 있죠. 그러니 Let's do something good. That's right. Let's solve this problem. There should be no need to exceed the biological oxygen requirement in the lower water system. And everyone knows that milk completely destroys the microorganisms in it. Well, I think we should take a look at this problem. I'm here on behalf of the Senate. For your information, this is Nofuck Sanitation Area. I'm the chairman of the board of directors and I'm here with one of the board members. We are already solving the problem with the company. Because they have exported pollutants to the Corporation Gulch. Because of this, we have to proceed with the 보수공사. I'm on your side. Let's solve this problem. Got it? Thank you. Yes, thank you. Jerry, is there anyone else? This is Heath Henney. I live right next to the Ectus factory every day. I don't know why, The smell from there is terrible. It's too unfair to the residents of the south. The smell is not from the sewer. It's from the Ectus suburb. We have to solve this problem. They are locked up in an open space with a sewer or a sludge. All the residents of the south are suffering. There's no end to the complaints. Sturgis riders passed by Nofub, and they all complained. He said he was sick of passing through the city on a motorcycle. It wouldn't be good for the Chamber of Commerce. I would like to come to a city that is sick of it and stay and eat at a restaurant. It's really unfair. This is all I can say. Would anyone else like to tell me?
Hello, I'm Amanda Coney. I have a question. I don't think the pen is working properly. Is there any other legal action to find a company that is responsible for water pollution, for example, to take responsibility for the members of the board? I don't know much about this, so I'm asking. I don't think it's very effective just to find the person in charge. Is there any other legal action?
아직 조사 초기 단계라 그 질문에 답하기는 어렵습니다. 저희는 이제 막 조사를 시작했기 때문에 좀 더 지켜봐야 할 것 같습니다. 지금은 답변드릴 수 없습니다. 가능성이 있는 건 맞죠? 네, 물론입니다. 다른 의견 있으신 분 계신가요? 아무도 안 보이네요. 그럼.
I will end the discussion on case number 6 here. I will move on to the unannounced meeting. Thank you for everyone's opinion.
