Abstract

Because the present groundwater law broadly regulates a simple and impractical guideline ignoring aquifer characters and geology, general purpose facilities for protection of groundwater contamination is still considered unsatisfactory to ensure groundwater resources. In recent, there have been growing attempts in the packer development as crucial techniques and devices for groundwater protection. This study investigated the application of packer grouting techniques to contaminated groundwaters of two well sites in the Andong and Yeongi areas, both of which revealed a satisfactory effect with improved water quality: 94% decrease in turbidity at the Andong area and 60% decrease in $NO_3$-N, respectively. Based on aquifer characters including geology, weathering depth, fracture pattern, hydraulic gradient, and the flow path of contaminants, the integrated properties of groundwater contamination should be evaluated and treated with the help of accurate analyses such as bore hole imaging and monitoring data. Packer grouting and casing on well to ensure the useful aquifer free of contaminant are expected to play important role in inhibiting the inflow of contaminants when adequately applied. Therefore it is concluded that these can serve as reliable tools in remediation and protection of contaminated groundwater as well as efficient utilization of groundwater.

국내 현행 지하수법에서는 오염방지 시설에 관한 개략적인 설치규정만이 설정되어 있어서 대수층의 특성을 고려하지 않은 일률적인 오염방지 시설 기준이므로 지질에 따라 다양하게 발달하는 우리나라의 지하수자원을 효과적으로 보호해 주지 못한다. 최근에는 지하수오염방지에 중요한 기술과 장치로서 패커개발이 점차 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경북 안동시 서후면, 충남 연기군의 오염된 지하수공에 대하여 하부지하수오염방지시설로서 팩커의 적합성을 검토한 결과, 그 효과는 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 연구대상지인 경북 안동시 서후면 창풍리의 경우 팩커를 시공한 결과 탁도는 94%, 연기군 남면 눌왕리의 경우 질산성 질소는 60% 감소효과를 나타내었으며, 이로 인해 모든 수질검사항목에서 적합수질을 보였다. 지하수오염방지를 위해서는 정확한 관정카메라 촬영과 오염원 모니터링 분석을 실시하고, 이에 근거하여 지질특성, 풍화대심도, 파쇄대 발달, 대수층의 수리경사, 오염물의 이동경로를 파악한 후, 통합적으로 지하수오염 가능성을 평가하고, 이를 통하여 적절한 그라우팅과 케이싱 작업이 이루어져야 한다. 유용한 대수층 구간을 확보하여 오염물을 차단하는 그라우팅, 팩커장치, 케이싱은 지하수의 활용과 오염방지에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.
