The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of pollutants overflow on storm events and the first flush analysis in industrial complex. Eight sub-basins in the Chongju industrial complex were selected for sampling and study with different characteristics during the period from June 1997 to August 1998. Water quality parameters of stormwater runoff such as $BOD_5$, COD, SS, TKN, $NO_3-N$, $PO_4-P$, TP, n-Hexane extracts, Cr, Cu, Pb and Fe were analyzed. During the storm events, measured concentration ranges of $BOD_5$, COD, SS, $NO_3-N$, TKN, $PO_4-P$, TP, r-Hexane extracts, Cr, Cu, Pb and Fe were 2~324 mg/L, 5~810 mg/L, 1~1,110 mg/L, 0.01~10.89 mg/L, 0.1~59.8 mg/L, 0.08~7.02 mg/L, 0.1~7.8 mg/L, 0.1~1,723.6 mg/L, 0.001~0.363 mg/L, 0.001~0.488 mg/L, 0.001~1.28 mg/L, and 0.26~18.91 mg/L, respectively in the industrial complex watersheds. And a quantitative of first flush has been presented. First flush occurs more frequently as the ratio of impervious area increases.

Conventional construction technologies have been continually applied without consideration of its impact to the environment. This resulted to various problems including the negative responses of local citizens that regarded some constructed facilities as aversive facilities causing environmental and hydraulic problems in the urban area, etc. To prevent these problems, therefore, alternative methods should be undertaken. A new approach termed "Low Impact Development (LID)" technology is currently adapted in developed countries around the world. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of the developed small constructed wetland (SCW) with horizontal subsurface flow as a LID technique applicable in urban areas. Two test-bed facilities were constructed and monitoring had been conducted between July 2010 and June 2011. Based on the findings, the removal efficiencies achieved for TSS, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, TP, Total Fe, Total Pb for the SCW-1 were 66, 53, 46, 55, 67 and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, the SCW-2 attained 82, 62, 51, 48, 74 and 42% efficiency for TSS, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, TP, Total Fe, Total Pb, respectively. The results indicated that the removal of particulate matter and heavy metals which are considered as main pollutants from stormwater runoff in urban areas was satisfactory in the system. Therefore, the test-beds proved to be appropriate for the treatment of pollutants in urban landuses such as road, parking lot, etc. The results of this study can contribute to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems and restoration of natural water cycle in the urban areas.

We used phototrophic bacteria to remove low concentrated organic materials (CODCr), nitrogen and phosphorus. We applied $COD_{Cr}$ 37.3 mg/L, $NH_3-N$ 4.0 mg/L, and $PO_4^{3-}-P$ 1.0 mg/L (C:N:P=100:10:1) in the batch test, and the removal efficiencies were shown as follow: $COD_{Cr}$ 87.4%, $NH_3-N$ 46.3%, $PO_4^{3-}-P$ 79.7%. The aerobic process with mixed phototrophic bacteria, ceramic media, and media KSP01 showed the removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$, $NH_3-N$, and $PO_4^{3-}-P$, each as 72.7% and 79.2%, respectively in the lab-scale reactor. The maximum $PO_4^{3-}-P$ removal efficiency reached 92.6% by adjusting pH. There were three conditions used to remove $NH_3-N$. The highest removal efficiency was 98.5% with 10.2 L/min of aeration in 1-2 reactors, and the result of applying river-water showed the high removal efficiency of $NH_3-N$ (82.8%). Therefore, this purification system may be useful to control nitrogen and phosphorus at low concentration in field.

371 strains of marine bacteria were isolated from Gwangyang bay in Korea. The dominant species were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, P. fluorescens, P. paucimobilis, Chryseomonas luteola and P. vescularis. To screen marine bacteria capable of removing nutrients and organics, marine bacteria was inoculated in 10 mL of marine broth 2216 (DIFCO) with $NH_3-N$ (100 mg/L), ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ (100 mg/L), and ${PO_4}^{-3}-P$ (10 mg/L) with 1.0% (v/v), and incubated for 12 h. Results from the screening test, showed that the removal efficiencies for $COD_{Cr}$, ammonia niterogen, nitrate nitrogen, and phosphate were over 25% for 16 strains, 15% for 9 strains, 50% for 63 strains, and 15% for 80 strains, respectively. Aeromonas hydrophila, Chryseomonas indologenes, Pseudomonas diminuta, Vibrio parahaemolyticus were selected for nutrients removal experiments. For the batch test, 4 species of marine bacteria were inoculated in modified marine broth containing with nutrients($COD_{Cr}$ 250 mg/L, $NH_3-N$ 40 mg/L, ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ 40 mg/L, ${PO_4}^{3-}-P$ 10 mg/L, respectively), incubated for 10 hr and the removal efficiencies were measured.

Surface of hydrophobic media was modified to become hydrophilic by ion beam irradiation. Fixed bed biofilm reactors packed with or without surface modification were used to remove organics, nitrogen, and phosphorus from sewage. This system composed of anoxic/oxic cycles to increase the nutrient removal. A cylindrical polyethylene was used as a packing media in this study. With 12 hours of hydraulic retention time (HRT), the reactors with and without surface modification showed 95% and 92% $COD_{cr}$ removal, respectively. Both reactors showed over 95% $COD_{cr}$ removals for a longer HRT of 16 hours. Nitrogen removal ranged 54.8% to 70.2% for the surface modified system and 57.5% to 76.5% for the non-modified system under same condition. Finally, phosphorus removal ranged 59.4% to 69.8% for the surface modified system and 51.3% to 63.4% for the non-modified system under same condition. From this study organics and phosphorus were better removed in using surface modified media and vice versa for nitrogen removal.

우리나라는 도시화, 산업화로 하천의 환경적인 기능을 고려하지 못하고 심각한 수질오염을 유발하여 왔다. 특히 기술개발로 점오염원에 관리는 어느정도 효과를 보고있으나 정량화가 힘든 비점오염원 관리는 제대로 이루어지고 있지 않다. 우리나라의 강우시 수자원관리를 위한 기초자료로서 활용하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 강우시 수질특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 비점오염원의 특성상 유역별, 강우사상별 특징이 매우 다르므로 대표 유역에 대하여 장기적인 모니터링을 통하여 대표유역의 특성을 반영한 제한적인 누가유량-누가오염부하량의 관계식을 도출하여 좀더 정밀한 유역오염부하량을 산정하는 데 기여하고자 하였다. 연구 지점은 수도권 및 인근지역 주민의 식수원인 팔당호로 직 유입되고 정확한 유량자료 확보가 가능한 경안수위관측소 지점으로 선정하였다. 연구기간은 2007년 6월$^{\sim}$2008년 12월이었으며 이 기간에 나타난 강우 중 4개의 강우사상에 대하여 수질측정 및 실시간 수위관측을 실시하였다. 수위-유량관계곡선식으로 산정한 유량자료와 실측한 수질자료를 바탕으로 누가유량-누가오염부하량의 단순회귀식을 도출하였다. 수질항목은 수온, DO, pH, EC, SS, BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, T-N, T-P 등이며 단, BOD는 2개의 강우사상에서만 측정되었다. 현장에서 휴대용미터를 이용하여 수온, DO, pH, EC를 측정하였고 나머지 항목은 한국건설 기술연구원내 환경정밀분석센타에 의뢰하여 분석하였다. 각 항목별 실측치를 이용한 누가유량-누가오염부하량 관계식을 도출한 결과 각 도출된 식의 상관계수 값은 전 항목에서 0.9 이상으로 1에 가깝게 나타나 높은 상관관계을 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 항목별로 보면 BOD는 0.95, SS는 0.96, $COD_{Mn}$은 0.98, $COD_{Cr}$은 0.95, T-N은 0.97, T-P는 0.92의 값을 가졌다. 앞으로 장기적인 모니터링이 지속적으로 이루어져 다양한 강우사상별 자료가 축적된다면 좀더 정밀한 유량-부하량 관계식을 도출할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 이는 수자원관리에 중요한 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

In view of previous investigations that the outermost zone of porous media displays the most vigorous removal of organic contaminant, a novel filtration apparatus of cylinder-shaped porous material (polyester fiber) was applied to the Samcheonji reservoir in Gyeongsan to assess its ability to remove contaminants from reservoir water. The apparent mechanism of purification is that organic pollutant dispersed in the water is collected by the matrix to be degraded by microbes in due course. Data obtained from the experiment appear promising; 19$\sim$27% decrease in COD$_{Cr}$, 37$\sim$43% reduction in COD$_{Mn}$, BOD$_5$ diminution between 67$\sim$81%, 93% decrease in turbidity, and 99% removal of Suspended Solids. The results suggest that this device may be a valuable supplementary means to ameliorate the quality of reservoir water.
