(Background) 

As the Toxic Chemicals Control Act has been fully amended to the Chemicals Control Act, regulations were strengthened and an existing R&D facility in ㅇㅇ region had to receive a permit by the regional environmental office.

(Grievance) 

Officials of the related city said that businesses dealing with toxic chemicals cannot enter the region due to the district unit plan, and the regional environmental office is refusing to give a permit to use toxic chemicals as the company cannot enter the region. As a result, the existing R&D facility is facing a difficulty that it can no longer stay in the region. 

(Resolution) 

After understanding the issues and regulations, Home Doctors organized four meeting for the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the company. 

Home Doctors also researched similar cases and shared the information with the company. 

(Result) 

- Home Doctors requested a pre-examination of the regional and basic local government's administrative act, visited the facilities, and provided support.

- The related self-governing province submitted its opinion to the related city regarding the pre-examination of the company and its unique circumstance. 

- The opinions of the related city and self-governing province were submitted to the regional environmental office. 

- After a final examination, the company was able to receive a permit by the regional environmental office to continue its business legally inside the region.
