Abstract

This study was to build the database by collecting the results of legal leak test and self-test conducted by the owners of soil contamination facilities at soil-related specialized agency to grip objective status on soil contamination facilities and evaluate classification results. The results of the study showed that the unsuitable rate of business unit is 53.6%, the business with leak that could cause actual pollution is 25.7%, the unsuitable rate of the voluntary self-test is 57.3%, that of the compulsory inspection is 17.2% depending on the test motivation, that of the direct-test is 58.9%, and that of the indirect-test is 22.5% depending on the test methods. There was a significant difference between the test motivation conducted and the test methods applied. From the results of the unsuitable reasons obtained we could assume that about 20% of the whole target tanks became potential sources with natural defects occurred when such tanks were made, and 2.2% of the whole tankers examined that persisting period was caused by progressing corrosion below the minimum thickness.

누출검사와 자체정밀조사 결과를 토대로 살펴본 국내의 석유류 시설에 대한 객관적인 현황 및 실태 조사 결과는 다음과 같다. 국내 특정토양오염관리대상시설을 업소단위로 평가한 결과 부적합률은 약 53.6%로 누출검사 평균 부적합률 3.1%에 비해 약 17.3배 높다. 특정토양오염관리대상시설의 점검방식별 부적합률은 직접법은 58.9% 그리고 간접법은 22.5%였다. 직접법에 의해 확인된 용접부 결함과 간접법 점검 시 확인되지 않는 배관계통의 누설을 포함한 부적합률은 최대 58.9%까지 증가한다. 실제 특정토양오염관리대상시설로부터 누출이 확인된 업소는 30.7%였으며, 저장탱크 주유배관 주입배관 등에서 누출이 확인되어 당해 시설로부터 오염물질이 외부로 유출되고 있는 업소는 25.7%였다. 특정토양오염관리대상시설의 소유자가 자발적 점검에 의한 부적합률은 57.3%인 반면, 강제적 부적합율은 17.2%로 자체점검 결과가 국내 특정토양오염관리대상시설의 현황에 가깝다고 판단된다. 특정토양오염관리대상시설을 구성하는 시설별 조사결과 각 시설의 부적합률은 저장탱크의 경우 누출 2.6%, 비누출을 포함한 부적합률은 22.2%였으며, 주입배관 4.1%, 주유배관 5.5%, 통기관 10.3%로 나타났다. 저장탱크의 부적합 사유별 요인은 균열 및 기공 17.9%, 미용접 5.3%로 전체 대상 탱크의 약 20%가 당해 저장탱크 제작 시부터 잠재적 누출요인을 안고 있는 것으로 추정되며, 부식 또는 국부적으로 진행된 공식 등으로 석유류저장탱크의 최소두께 (3.2 mm)에 미달되어 부적합 판정된 6.6%의 탱크가 내구연한을 초과하거나 도래하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.
