According to Gangwon-do and Yangyang-gun on the 29th, the Central Administrative Appeals Committee of the National Rights Commission of Korea cited a request to cancel the environmental impact assessment of the five-sack cable car installation project.

Previously, in September of last year, the Wonju Regional Environment Office unanimously dismissed the environmental impact assessment of the five-sack cable car project, and the project faced a stranded crisis.

◇ Five-sack cable car that speeds up againAccording to the decision of the Central Administrative Appeals Committee, the Osaek Cable Car project is expected to be re-implemented. Gangwon-do and Yangyang-gun will review local financial investment projects in the first half of 2021, discuss the development of Baekdu-daegan, mountain use permit, national forest use permit, local construction technology It is planned to start construction in the second half after completing administrative procedures such as deliberation, permission to implement park projects, and approval for special construction by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

An official from Gangwon-do said, “We will make every effort to become an exemplary project, such as protecting animals and plants and preserving the environment of Mt. Seorak in compliance with the additional conditions of the National Park Committee and Cultural Heritage Administration.”

Kim Jin-ha, head of Yangyang County, said, “I am happy to have a foothold to promote the five-saek cable car project on the normal track again.” “We will concentrate our administrative power to become a successful model for the national park cableway pilot project.

◇ To tears of joy, tears of pain

Residents in the northwestern region also greatly welcome the decision to cite the Central Administrative Appeals Committee.

Jeong Jun-hwa, chairman of the eco-friendly Seoraksan Osaek Cable Car Promotion Committee, said, “I am deeply grateful for making a wise decision first.

The eco-friendly Seoraksan Osaek Cable Car Promotion Committee, made up of residents of the northwestern region, has held several meetings in business and business, and has continued a street struggle for the promotion of the five-sack cable car installation project.

The Osaek Cable Car project, which lays a 3.5km-long cableway from Osaek-ri in Seomyeon, Yangyang to the tip of Seoraksan (1480m above sea level), started 38 years ago, in 1982, with a request to install the second cable car in Seoraksan Mountain in Gangwon-do. At that time, it was presented as a task in the field of tourism services, and it was in full swing.

However, it was stopped again when the Wonju Regional Environmental Office requested Yangyang-gun to supplement the environmental impact assessment report in November 2016.

Yangyang-gun supplemented it and resubmitted the environmental impact assessment in May of last year, but the Wonju Regional Environmental Office made a decision on the environmental impact assessment in September of the same year, and the project was suddenly stopped.

Chairman Chung said, “I have been in tears because I have been unfair, but now I will see the future,” and said, “I will play a role in preparing a plan to minimize environmental damage that is concerned through communication with environmental organizations.”
