Failure to comply with military base law procedures related to domestic sports facilities such as rock climbing walls

(Cheongju = Yonhap News) Reporter Park Jae-cheon = Cheongju City violated military-related laws and installed lights at sports facilities near the airfield or tried to build a lighting tower, but was audited by the Board of Audit and Inspection.

It was confirmed on the 21st that the Board of Audit and Inspection conducted an air safety management fact-finding survey against Cheongju City for a total of six days in September and November.

The Board of Audit and Inspection pointed out that the lights for the rock wall at the National Water Sports Park and the tennis court at the domestic sewage treatment plant were installed without consultation with the military authorities, and that there was no consultation with the military authorities at the time of the implementation plan of the domestic sports development project.

The Board of Audit and Inspection investigated the current employees of the department and took related materials.

According to the Military Base and Military Facility Protection Act (Military Base Act), the head of an administrative agency must consult with the Minister of National Defense or the head of the relevant unit to permit the construction of a building or the installation of structures or lights that may violate safety-related regulations in a flight safety area. do.

In this law, there is also a provision that ‘installation of similar lights that may interfere with the clear recognition of aviation lights or be misunderstood as aviation lights’ cannot be performed in flight safety zones.

The entire Naesu-eup is a safe flight zone under the Military Base Act.

However, the city did not consult with the 17th Fighter Wing of the Air Force at the time of consultation on the execution plan of the domestic living sports park creation project in May 2017.

A multipurpose gym, soccer field, foot volleyball field, ground golf course, artificial rock wall, baseball field, and badminton gym have been built or are being built, and lighting towers (10) are being installed in the soccer field and baseball field.

The football field that was built first was not installed due to the Air Force’s refusal to view the light tower as a similar light that could interfere with the pilot’s control, so it is currently used only during the day. It has become virtually impossible to install lighting towers at baseball fields.

This is a problem caused by not only omitting consultations with the military authorities in the process of promoting the project, but also not carefully examining the provisions of the Military Base Act.
