The domestic and the industry wastes which mainly come out of human life activities have been usually processed mainly by the incineration method and/or the method of reclamation. The method of reclamation, specially open dumping, has caused significant environmental pollution problems on the local or regional soil and groundwater system by leachate. Therefore, to investigate the 3-D structure characteristics of environmental pollution area is one of the hot subjects. We applied dipole-dipole method of electrical resistivity survey to investigate 3-D environmental contamination characteristics of the Noeun landfill area. For electrical resistivity survey, the line for measurements was established parallel to the main boundary of the Noeun landfill, for effective investigation of the whole landfill area. The result shows that the uppermost layer of the Noeun landfill is believed to be stabilized completely, based on the result of electrical resistivity values. However, the lowest layer of the Noeun landfill was partially polluted by leachate. Therefore, the electrical resistivity survey method is believed to be the one of the most effective methods to investigate three-dimensional distribution of leachate occurred in the lower part of landfill area.

최근, 산업의 발달로 인하여 생활수준이 향상되어 대량생산과 대량소비현상이 발생하고 도시의 밀집도가 높아 단위 면적당 거주하는 인구가 증가되면서 거주지역에서 발생되는 부산물이 현저히 증가되어 환경측면에서 복합적인 환경문제에 직면해 있다. 최근까지 대책마련에 고심하고 있는 도시에서 발생된 다량의 쓰레기 처리문제는 경제적인 측면에서 몇 년 전 까지는 대부분을 매립에 의존해 왔으나, 매립 방식에 의존하였으나 지가 및 공사설비의 상승, 일부 비위생적으로 조성된 매립장에서 배출되는 침출수 및 악취 등의 환경오염이 심각한 사회문제로 대두되면서 매립장의 확보나 증설은 해당 지역주민의 반발로 지방자치단체의 골치 아픈 과제로 등장하였다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해, 최근에는 매립지 확보의 어려움과 환경보존을 위하여 쓰레기를 정적이고 위생적으로 처리하기 위하여, 소각시설이 표 1과 같이 증가하고 있으나 소각 때 발생하는 다이옥신 등 인체에 치명적인 오염을 유발시키기 때문에 소각로 건설에 대한 환경운동단체와 주민들의 반발이 거세게 제기되고 있는 현실이다. 이러한 영향에 의해 앞으로는 소각보다는 쓰레기 자체를 감량.재사용.재활용하는 처리방식이 표 1과 같이 증가되는 현실이다. 쓰레기를 소각하는 것은 제 2오염을 유발시키고, 소각장 건설비용과 유지관리에 많은 예산이 소요된다. 쓰레기소각장을 건설할 때, 인근주민이나 환경단체로부터 반대의견에 직면하게 되는데, 그 사유는 쓰레기 처리과정의 전 단계인 반입.공급 과정에서 악취발생과, 후단계인 소각설비에서 발생되는 배출가스 오염원을 완전히 제거하라는 것이다. 최근에는 소각장의 설계.시공과정에서 최대한 악취발생과 확산을 억제하는 시설에 투자를 하고 있으며, 또한 주민 편익 시설과 부대 복리 후생시설은 소각시설 주변지역 주민틀의 소각시설에 대한 부정적 이미지를 불식시키며, 외부 방문객이나 운영 관리 요원들에게 쾌적한 환경조성과 업무효율 및 근무환경의 개선에 일익을 담당하고 있다. 본 고는 환경 친화적인 쓰레기 소각장을 설계하는 측면에서 1998년도에 턴키방식으로 발주되었고 2001년 12월에 준공하여 운전하고 있는 경기도 구리시 자원회수시설의 환기설비에 적용된 설계 및 시공개념을 소개하고자 한다.

There are two strategies to cope with the troubles in landfill site after closure. The first method is active in a way that the wastes are dug up and the recyclable materials are reutilized, meanwhile the materials not recyclable are incinerated in order to minimize the volume of residues to be disposed of. The second method is rather passive and defensive in a way that the source of contamination, that is, buried wastes are not treated. Instead, the transport of leaking leachate and gases generated from the wastes are intercepted and controlled. In this study, as a passive way of the efficient leachate blocking process, applicabilities of geocrete and soluble sodium silicate as a substitute to control leachate leaking from landfill sidewall were investigated. In case of compression test, the strength of mixture I (Geocrete:Sodium silicate=1:3.9 v/v) and mixture II (Geocrete:Sodium silicate=1:2.5 v/v), even after 7 days' curing was higher than the minimum allowance to tolerate the loading(5 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Soaking in the acid fur 4 days and 7 days respectively, the compressive strength of the specimens reduced seriously. The toxicity of geocrete is not detected through the bioassay test, once it was mixed with sodium silicate and the complex was formed. The hydraulic conductivity of the mixtures even after 7 days' curing was lower than the threshold limit $(1.0\times10_{-7}cm/s)$.

For managing and utilizing a closed municipal solid waste landfill site in environmentally secure conditions, it is necessary to verify the stabilization level of landfill gas(LFG) and waste. For assessing LFG and waste stabilization of an open-dumping municipal solid waste landfill (Salmi Landfill) which is located at the vicinity of Chungju Reservoir which flows into Paldang Reservoir that has been used for Seoul Metropolitan water supplies, the history and the surrounding characteristics of the landfill site were surveyed. In this study, waste and LFG samples obtained from landfill site were physically and chemically analyzed, and then the analysis results were evaluated on the basis of 'The Criteria of Landfill Waste Stabilization(CLWS)' that were promulgated by Korean Ministry of Environment. Based on LFG composition of Salmi landfill, $CH_4$ was as high as 68%. In CLWS regulation, the stabilization criteria of $CH_4$ should be lower than 5%, and the criteria of C/N ratio should also be lower than 1/10. The result showed that C/N ratio of landfilled waste ranged 17.4~24.7. From this results, it was concluded that the LFG and C/N ratio stabilization level of this landfill based on the CLWS were still actively proceeding.

Among the various geophysical approaches to identify the leakage of leachate with conductivity variation, conventional electrical resistivity survey has been mainly used at waste landfill. We adopted small-loop electromagnetic (EM) survey using multi-frequencies in parallel with electrical resistivity survey to delineate the leakage of leachate through the shallow soil layer at a waste landfill in Jeju Island, and also with self-potential monitoring to detect the streaming potential produced by the movement of leachate. There were no evidences of leakage from waste landfill according to the results of the electrical resistivity survey and SP monitoring, and it was also true from the results of water quality analysis at stream around waste landfill periodically. On the other hand, the results of one-dimensional inversion of spatially-filtered small-loop EM survey data showed the anomalous zone of low resistivity with depth both around and inner waste landfill.

In this study, it was analysed physical characteristics, TS, moisture, C/N ratio, leaching test, and element analysis in landfill wastes of 10 years old without landfill pretreatment. The Organic material content was 7.2%~23.5% and soil was the main inorganic materials which it's rate was 54.1%~71.0%, in landfill wastes. The results of TS, VS, and moisture were represented 51.5%~68.1%, 23.6%~56.1%, 32.0%~48.4%, respectively. The analysis of hazardous materials did not indicate Hg, $Cr^{+6}$, CN, Organic Phosphorus, TCE and PCE, however the Pb of leaching materials showed 0.023~0.092 mg/L, which was the highest. As the result of the element analysis, C was 47.74%~56.72%, N was 4.09%~9.92%, the C/N ratio was 5.76~12.57 and the result of soils around landfill was the highest heavy material, Pb, 2.465 mg/kg~10.251 mg/kg. The objectives of this paper are to investigate states, stabilization of these closed landfills and to gain suitable data for post-closure care using some parameters through analysis of landfill environment.

Anaerobic decomposition of municipal solid waste (MSW) had potential adverse impacts such as the production of methane and long-term post closure on human health and the environment. It was demonstrated that aerobic degradation of MSW resulted in the reduction of a methane yield and the enhancement of stabilization of MSW. Excavated solid wastes were both aerobically and anaerobically treated in order to evaluate the effects of air injection on the stabilization of landfill site. The municipal solid waste (MSW) samples were excavated from a 10-year old landfill (operation period: 1991. 11~1994. 11), Jeonju, Korea. Excavated municipal solid wastes are primarily composed of soils and vinyl/plastics. For the two aerobic simulated lysimeters, the levels of $O_2$ ranged 1.6~23.1% and the levels of $CO_2$ ranged 1.5~15.1%, which confirmed the aerobic decomposition. Aeration did prevent methane formation. For the anaerobic simulated lysimeter, the $CO_2$ rose as $O_2$ was consumed and low levels of CH4 were produced. The pH levels ranged from 7.7 to 8.9 for anaerobic lysimeter and from 7.3 to 8.5 for aerobic lysimeters. As expected, aerobic treatment proved to enhance the removal of biodegradable materials in the excavated solid wastes when monitoring the concentration of BOD, COD, $NH_4-N$, and $NO_3-N$ in the leachate.

To utilize a closed municipal solid waste landfill site in environmentally secure conditions, it is necessary to verify the stabilization level of landfill leachate. To assess leachate stabilization of an open-dumping municipal solid waste landfill site (Salmi Landfill) which is located at the vicinity of Chungju Reservoir which flows into Paldang Reservoir utilized as Seoul Metropolitan water supplies, the landfill history and surrounding characteristics of the landfill site were surveyed. In this investigation, waste, leachate, groundwater and surfacewater samples from this landfill were physically and chemically analyzed, and the analysis results were evaluated by 'The Criteria of Landfill Waste Stabilization (CLWS)', 'Discharge Criteria of Landfill Leachate', 'The Criteria of Domestic Use in Groundwater Quality', and 'The Criteria of Domestic Use in Surfacewater Quality' that promulgated by Korean Ministry of Environment. From the analysis results on the Salmi open-dumping landfill, C/N ratio was 18.9 and $BOD/COD_{Cr}$ ratios in leachate were higher than 1/10. Based on the CLWS, this results seemed to imply that the process of leachate stabilization at this landfill was still proceeding.
