The fact that Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi-do, in 1990, before landfill of the metropolitan area was built, leased private land and buried the garbage was revealed late and is controversial.

When I bought this land and found out that the garbage was buried, the landlord was asking me to restore it, but I have not heard the answer yet.

On the morning of March 13, one of the excavators in the Hwanggye-dong, Hwanggye-dong, Gyeonggi-do, was digging the ground, and various garbage came out with a soggy oil (sludge).

The leachate was decaying as the leachate that had run out of the garbage polluted the surrounding land.

During the two hours of digging the excavator, miscellaneous garbage such as plastic, bottles, shoes, clothing continued to come out halfway through the ground, and when we descended a whopping 3.5m, we saw the ground that was not mixed with garbage.

Landowner Kim Mo (50) has pushed out a lease contract with evidence that Hwaseong City buried trash 29 years ago.

In January 1990, Taean - eup, Hwasung - gun, signed a lease agreement with Ahn, who used the land of 3,000 ㎡ as landfill.

Looking at the land lease contract at that time, Taean-eup spent 655,900 won (700㎡) per pyong (3.3㎡) from January 12, 1990 to the end of 1990, and this land was used as a landfill.

No order mat is installed to prevent leachate from waste.

However, the contract says, "At the same time as the purchase of the garbage is completed, it is obliged to repair it to be used as farmland by covering more than 60㎝".

At that time, if the waste landfill was over 3,300m2 or the waste amount was more than 10,000m3, it was required to install the landfill and approve the location of public facilities. However, the land was only 203m2.

Taean-eup signed a contract with the landowner and disposed of the garbage at a low price.

After the landowner changed once, Kim, who bought the land for about 700 million won in 2013, recently learned that the landfill was buried in the ground.

Kim said, "It was illegal to operate an agglomerate trading house in farmland, so I tried to build farming here if I did not open the business." I was once caught illegally from the city and turned to agriculture. I planted a field in the field, I have resumed business illegally. "

"I do not know how to farm in this kind of land, I do not want to do any more sales," he said.

An official from Hwaseong City said, "The garbage from Eupheon-dong till the year before 1994 was filled with self-contained landfill by the head of the municipal government. It was called" unsanitary landfill site. "" As the complaint was filed, "He said.

However, "I am checking the statute at that time, and it is not illegal to cover the land after landfilling in environmental regulations," he said. "If the landfill is a violation of the Agricultural Land Act, "He added.
