Abstract

When carrying out development projects around Ardeidae breeding habitats, we intend to devise a plan for sustainable coexistence by presenting measures to select and reduce key evaluation items so that conflicts can be prevented in advance at the environmental impact assessment stage. The results of the study are as follows. The main evaluation items are animal and plant items for preservation of Ardeidae breeding habitats and odor and noise items that can evaluate the effects of odors and noise in Ardeidae breeding habitats. First, the scope of the survey in animals and plants categories is not limited to legal guardian species, but includes egrets breeding and feeding grounds corresponding to major species breeding grounds and migratory birds, and preservation measures are established according to the reduction of the area of breeding and feeding grounds. Second, in the odor category, the irradiation period includes the period when the odor generation is the highest from the end of June to the end of July. The odor evaluation standard is based on the complex odor discharge standard, which is a concentration regulation, and the odor concentration felt by humans shall be 2 to 5OU/m3 and the frequency shall be 2% or less. Third, in the noise category, the timing of the survey is measured every month from May to August, including when the sound of egrets and young birds is combined to maximize noise generation. Since the noise of Ardeidae, a bird in summer, occurs only for a certain period of time, measures are taken to reduce noise by securing separation distances, securing buffer green areas, and installing construction rather than installing artificial structures such as soundproof walls. In order for existing Ardeidae breeding sites to maintain an appropriate density of populations and not move populations elsewhere, it is necessary to manage nesting tree and maintain stable habitat quantity and quality.

백로번식지 주변 개발사업을 진행할 때 환경영향평가 단계에서 갈등을 사전에 예방할 수 있도록 중점평가항목 선정과 저감방안을 제시하여 지속가능한 공존의 방안을 강구하고자 한다. 중점평가항목으로 백로번식지 보전을 위한 동·식물상 항목, 백로번식지로 인한 악취와 소음의 영향을 평가할 수 있는 악취와 소음 항목을 선정한다. 평가항목의 평가방안은 첫째, 동·식물상 항목에서 조사범위는 법정보호종 위주로 국한하지 말고 주요 종 번식지와 철새도래지에 해당하는 백로번식지와 취식지까지 포함하여 조사하고, 번식지와 취식지 면적감소에 따른 보전방안을 세운다. 둘째, 악취 항목에서 조사시기는 6월말에서 7월말까지 악취발생량이 최고인 시점을 포함한다. 악취 평가기준은 농도규제인 복합악취 배출허용기준과 사람이 느끼는 악취농도는 2~5OU/m3, 빈도는 2% 이하로 한다. 셋째, 소음 항목에서 조사시기는 백로류와 어린 새들의 소리가 합해져서 소음 발생이 최대가 되는 시점을 포함하여 5월부터 8월까지 매달 소음을 측정한다. 여름철새인 백로류의 소음은 일정 기간에만 발생하기 때문에 방음벽 설치 등 인공적인 구조물 설치로 소음을 저감하기 보다는 이격거리확보, 완충녹지, 마운딩 조성 등의 방법으로 저감대책을 세운다. 기존 백로번식지가 개체군의 적정한 밀도를 유지하면서 개체군이 다른 곳으로 이동하지 않기 위해서는 영소목 관리와 취식지의 양과 질을 안정적으로 유지해주는 것이 선행되어야 한다.
