Full scale livestock wastewater treatment plant (100 t/d) was constructed and operated to develop compact and cost effective treatment process for public plant as well as individual farm. Liquid form of livestock wastewater after belt press filter was treated through MBR/NF/RO. NF/RO brine water was mixed with livestock wastewater sludge and treated using denitrification, coagulation and air flotation process. Mixed effluent of NF/RO and air flotation meet public livestock wastewater treatment standard, BOD, T-N and T-P, 30 mg/L, 60 mg/L, 8 mg/L below, respectively. Condensed sludge of air flotation returned belt press filter. Dewatered cake contained 90% water and could be used fertilizer after mixing sawdust.

Non-point source (NP) pollutants in an agricultural landuse are discharged from a large area compared to those in other land uses, and thus effective source control measures are needed. To develop appropriate control measures, it is necessary to quantify discharge load of each source and evaluate the degree of water quality improvement by implementing different options of the control measures. This study used Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) to quantify pollutant discharge loads from different sources and effects of different control measures on water quality improvements, thereby supporting decision making in developing appropirate pollutant control strategies. The study area is the Gyeseong river watershed in Changnyeong county, Gyeongsangnam-do, with agricultural areas occupying the largest proportion (26.13%) of the total area except for the forest area. The main pollutant sources include chemical and liquid fertilizers for agricultural activities, and manure produced from small scale livestock facilities and applied to agriculture lands or stacked near the facilities. Source loads of chemical fertilizers, liquid fertilizers and livestock manure of small scale livestock facilities, and point sources such as municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), community WWTPs, private sewage treament plants were considered in the HSPF model setup. Especially, NITR and PHOS modules were used to simulate detailed fate and transport processes including vegitation uptake, nutrient deposition, adsorption/desorption, and loss by deep percolation. The HSPF model was calibrated and validated based on the observed data from 2015 to 2020 at the outlet of the watershed. The calibrated model showed reasonably good performance in simulating the flow and water quality. Five Pollutants control scenarios were established from three sectors: agriculture pollution management (drainge outlet control, and replacement of controlled release fertilizers), livestock pollution management (liquid fertilizer reduction, and 'manure management of small scale livestock facilities) and private STP management. Each pollutant control measure was further divided into short-term, mid-term, and long-term scenarios based on the potential achievement period. The simulation results showed that the most effective control measure is the replacement of controlled release fertilizers followed by the drainge outlet control and the manure management of small scale livestock facilities. Furthermore, the simulation showed that application of all the control measures in the entire watershed can decrease the annual TN and TP loads at the outlet by 40.6% and 41.1%, respectively, and the annual average concentrations of TN and TP at the outlet by 35.1% and 29.2%, respectively. This study supports decision makers in priotizing different pollutant control measures based on their predicted performance on the water quality improvements in an agriculturally dominated watershed.

경제발전 과정에서 급격한 도시화로 인해 건기의 하천 수량은 줄어들고, 비점오염 발생량은 증가하였으며 심지어 하천이 복개되고 직강화되어 홍수 피해 및 수질오염은 더욱 증가하고 있다. 다행히 최근 소득수준의 증가와 여가시간이 확대됨에 따라, 그 동안의 도시화와 산업화로 인한 오염된 하천을 다시 복원하려는 운동이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 안양천은 이 같은 하천 중 가장 대표적인 하천 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 다속성선택법(CE: choice experiments)을 적용하여 안양천이 어떠한 속성을 갖고 있으며 각각의 속성에 대해 안양천 유역주민들의 사회적인 경험과 인식, 그리고 각 속성의 수준간의 상쇄관계(trade-off)를 고려함으로써 소비자선호에 근거한 한계가치(marginal value)를 추정하였다. 2차례에 걸친 예비조사를 통해 안양천이 가진속성을 홍수피해위험, 가뭄시 하천유량, 수질등급, 하천형태로 설정하였고 설문지 작성을 위해 개별 속성들간의 직교성(orthogonality)을 보장해 주는 주효과 직교설계(orthogonal main effects design) 방법을 이용하였다. 작성된 설문지를 이용해 안양천 유역 10개 지자체 거주민을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 설문조사 결과를 통해 추정된 각 속성에 대한 가구당 매월 한계지불의사액은 하류구간의 잠재적 홍수피해(PFD가 0.5)가 보통일 경우는 1,764.8원/월, 낮을(PFD가 0.5이하) 경우는 1,783.8원/월, 가뭄시 하천수가 목표유지유량보다 는 작지만 매말라 있지 않은 경우에는 1,496.8원/월, 가뭄시 하천수가 목표유지유량 이상 유지될 경우에는 2,274.9원/월, 수질 등급 3등급일 경우 1,721.5원/월, 수질 등급 2등급일 경우 1,764.4원/월, 하천둔치를 체육공원과 산책로를 조성할 경우 2,078.1원/월, 하천둔치를 자연친화형 하천으로 보존할 경우 2,441.7원/월으로 분석되었다. 또한 추정된 가구당 매월 한계지불의사액을 통해 각 지자체별 정책대안의 기대효과에 대한 편익을 추정하였다. 각 기대효과는 치수, 수량확보, 수질, 생태로서 각각의 기대효과에 대해 가장 높은 편익을 나타내는 것은 부천시의 하수처리장 건설로서 이는 매년 926.8억원의 편익이 발생되며 그 다음으로는 부천의 하수관거정비(역곡)로서 이는 매년 601.5억원의 편익이 발생하는 것으로 추정되었다.

At present, the biological nutrient removal (BNR) process for removal of nitrogen and phosphorus is being constructing to keep pace with the reinforced standard of effluent quality and the traditional activated sludge process of preexistence is being promoting to retrofit. At the most case of retrofitting, processes are subjected to be under consideration as alternative BNR process for retrofitting. However, process evaluation methods are restricted to compare only treatment efficiency. Therefore, when BNR process apply, process evaluation was needed various method for treatment efficiency as well as sludge production and aeration cost, and all. In this study, the evaluation method of alternative process was suggested for the case for retrofitting S wastewater treatment plant which has been operated the standard activated sludge process. Three BNR processes for evaluation of proper alternatative process were selected and evaluated with suggested method. The selected $A^2$/O, VIP and DNR processes were evaluated using the mathematical model which is time and cost effective as well as gathered objective evaluation criteria. The evaluation between 5 individual criteria was possible including sludge production and energy efficiency as well as treatment performance. The objective final decision method for selection of optimal process was established through the fuzzy inference.

정부의 4대강 물 관리 종합대책에 따르면, 수계 전체 오염원중 비점오염원이 차지하는 오염부하가 22~37%에 달하는 것으로 추정되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 중요성에도 불구하고 농업지역 비점오염물질 저감을 위한 대책은 논과 밭과 같이 농경지에 관한 것이 대부분이었으며, 축산은 관리 기준의 가장 기초라고 할 수 있는 지목분류기준에 조차 별도의 기준이 없는 실정이다. 가축분뇨공공처리시설과 가축분뇨자원화시설은 가축분뇨를 처리하여야 하는 점오염원이지만, 차량 운반시 발생되는 일부 분뇨와 처리장 세척 시 발생되는 일부 오염물질들이 비점오염원으로 작용하고 있으며 이에 대한 관리가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가축분뇨공공처리시설과 가축분뇨자원화시설에서 강우시 발생되는 유출특성을 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 가축분뇨처리시설의 비점오염 관리 처리시설 설치 시에 중요한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 경상북도 영천시, 경기도 용인시, 전라북도 정읍시, 강원도 횡성군 등 축산밀집 지역을 대상으로 연 5회 강우시 모니터링을 실시하였으며, 모니터링자료를 바탕으로 유량가중평균농도(Event Mean Concentration, EMC)를 산정하였다. 영천시 가축분뇨자원화시설의EMC 산정결과 평균 BOD 5.1 mg/L, TN 6.90 mg/L, TP 0.91 mg/L로 산정되었으며, 용인시 개별처리농가의 경우 BOD 6.8 mg/L, TN 3.74 mg/L, TP 1.04 mg/L로, 횡성군 가축분뇨공공처리장의 경우 BOD 4.5 mg/L, TN 3.56 mg/L, TP 1.60 mg/L로, 정읍시 가축분뇨공공자원화시설의 경우 BOD 4.3 mg/L, TN 6.82 mg/L, TP 0.48 mg/L로 산정되었다. BOD, TN은 영천시 가축분뇨자원화시설에서 가장 높게 나타났고, TP의 경우 횡성군 축산폐수공공처리장의 경우 높게 나타났다. 유출특성을 분석한 결과 가축분뇨자원화시설의 경우 대부분 콘크리트 기반으로 조성된 토지위에 조성되어 강우시 유량은 급격하게 상승하며, 강우가 종료되면 바로 감소하는 불투수층 지역의 특성을 나타났다. 본 연구에서 분석된 유츨특성과 EMC는 비점오염 처리시설이나 가축분뇨공공처리시설 설치시 기초데이터로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 가축분뇨처리시설의 지속적인 모니터링과 모니터링지점 확대로 자원화시설 강우유출수의 DataBase화를 통한 지속적인 연구 및 관리가 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The amount of swine wastewater reaches about $197,000m^3$ per day at live-stock houses in the whole country. A half of the swine wastewater resources are too small to be restricted legally. This untreated wastewater causes the eutrophication in the water bodies. In case of swine wastewater treatment, the solid-liquid separation must be performed because feces(solid phase) and urine(liquid phase) have large differences in nitrogen and phosphorus concentration. It is necessary to assess exactly the concentration of the pollutants in swine wastewater for planning the wastewater treatment facilities. A full-scale operation was carried out in K city and the plant is consists of conventional plant, the supplementary flocculation basin of chemical treatment process and $anaerobic{\cdot}aerobic$ basin for nitrogen removal. The improved full-scale swine wastewater treatment plant removed the $1,500{\sim}3,000mg/l$ of total-nitrogen(T-N) to 120mg/l of T-N and $131{\sim}156mg/l$ of total-phosphorus(T-P) to $0.15{\sim}1.00mg/l$ of T-N. Accordingly, as a results of operational improvement, the removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P were over $92{\sim}96%$, 99%, respectively. The continuous supply of organic carbon sources and the state of pH played important roles for the harmonious metabolism in anaerobic basin and the pH value of anaerobic basin maintained at about 9.0 for the period of the study.
