What are the typical types where waste management act violation charges are established?

Hello. This is the corporate specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

In practice, the most commonly problematic types of waste management act violation are as follows:

· Cases where waste was processed/collected/transported/stored without permission or registration

· Cases where another party's waste was collected/transported/processed without a waste treatment business permit

· Cases where waste outside the permitted types (designated/business/construction waste, etc.) was processed

· Cases where waste was deposited/stored for long periods at locations not licensed

· Cases where waste was stored (abandoned/dumped) exceeding the permitted capacity/period

· Cases where the amount and period within the storage allowance under the permit conditions were exceeded for outdoor storage

· Cases where environmental damage such as odors, leachate, and dust occurred due to long-term abandonment

· Cases where it was recorded as treated by "recycling" but in reality was simply landfilled/abandoned

· Cases where the consigned company committed waste management act violation, but the original business operator failed to fulfill management/supervision obligations, etc.

From a corporate perspective, since acts perceived as "practical convenience" or "industry practice" are highly likely to be evaluated as intentional waste management act violations by investigative agencies, it is important to inspect the contract structure and treatment flow in advance and prove the actual treatment circumstances and the existence of the management system when issues are raised.

If you receive an investigation for waste management act violation charges, we recommend systematically organizing the following materials:

· Permit and registration-related documents
· Waste treatment business permit, change permit/change report history
· Documents specifying permit conditions, types/quantities/methods of waste that can be processed, etc.
· Consignment/treatment contract-related documents
· Consignment/transfer contract with waste discharger
· Treatment/transport/storage history materials
· Waste transfer document (electronic/paper), transport log
· On-site management regulations and internal guidelines
· Employee training materials, safety/environment inspection log

These materials are important to organize in a direction that emphasizes legality for parts that are not violations, distinguishes between management negligence and intentional violation for parts that may be problematic, and presents already taken improvement measures and recurrence prevention plans together, on the premise of which parts are suspected of waste management act violation.

Daeryun Law Firm organizes materials before investigation, and also designs expected question lists and answer directions together.
