The priorities of siting restriction was derived from quantification of environmental hazard according to industrial classification based on 'Chemical Ranking and Scoring System(CRS)' which is handling the discharge characteristics of 31 industrial classifications regulated from locating at 'Industrial Complex in Rural Area(ICRA)'. CRS that is utilizing the data of 'Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers(PRTR)' is applied to determine human health risk and ecological risk which are calculated by discharged amount and materials $LC_{50}$ according to water, soil and air media based on industrial classification. From this process, exposure assessment and toxicity assessment for integrating the adverse environmental impact and the mitigation effect of environmental risk according to the development of environmental technologies into establishing the rational landuse management method for the 31 industrial classifications regulated from locating at ICRA was analyzed. From the assessment result of the siting restriction removal at ICRA for 31 industrial classifications, based on 2012 year reference 6 industries that includes Manufacture of Guilt Coloration Surface Processing Steel Materials, Manufacture of Biological Product, Manufacture of Smelting Refining and Alloys of Copper, Dyeing and Finishing of Fibers and Yarns, Manufacture of Other Basic Iron and Steel n.e.c., Rolling Drawing and Extruding of Non-ferrous Metals n.e.c. are calculated as having relatively lower environmental hazards, thus it is judged that the siting restriction mitigation at ICRA is possible for the 6 industrial classifications that are not discharging the specific hazardous water contaminants during manufacturing process.

하천의 건강성을 유지하고 수환경의 정상적인 기능을 회복하기 위해서는 수서생물들에게 알맞은 서식환경 조성, 점오염원 및 비점오염원 차단, 적절한 유량과 같은 다양한 조건이 요구된다(Gore 1895; Gore et al. 1989). 이 중 유량은 수생태계를 이루는 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 요소들 가운데 기본이 된다고 할 수 있다(Bunn and Arthington 2002; Nilsson and Svedmark 2002; Arthington et al. 2006). 국내 하천관리를 위한 하천유지유량의 산정에서 고려하고 있는 갈수량, 하천생태계, 하천수질 등 8가지 항목 가운데 최근 생태계와 환경에 대한 사회적 국민적 관심이 증가하면서 하천생태계를 고려한 환경유량의 중요성이 부각되었으나, 현실적으로 생태계를 고려한 정량적 조사자료 구축 및 환경유량산정 등의 객관적 자료는 미흡한 실정이다. 특히, 과거 해당수계 및 하천의 어류분포 현황 파악을 중심으로 이루어진 어류조사는 환경유량 산정 시 기초자료로 활용하거나 직 간접적으로 어류상이 변화하는 원인을 분석하는 자료로 활용하기에는 객관성이 결여되어 있다고 할 수 있다. 어류모니터링 기법 확립은 환경유량산정에 있어 요구되는 정량화와 자료의 객관성을 높이기 위한 작업으로 문헌조사와 청문조사를 포함한 사전조사, 현장조사, 조사결과 정리, 고찰 등의 총 4가지 과정을 기본으로 실시하는 것으로 정하였다(그림. 1), 청문조사와 문헌조사 등의 사전조사를 통해 기존자료를 확보하고 현장의 답사, 조사구간, 방법, 시기 등의 선정을 통해 두 번째 단계인 현장조사의 효율성을 높였다. 현장조사에서는 어류분포 현황 외에도 해당지점의 하상재료, 식생, 유속, 수심, 수질 등 조사지점의 수 환경요소 전반을 기록하여 어류의 서식과 물리 화학적 수환경과의 상호관계를 파악하고자 하였다. 마지막으로 고찰단계에서는 조사 대상 지역 전반적인 어류상 특징과 함께 보호종, 한국고유종, 외래도입종 출현유무 및 빈도, 물리적, 화학적 수환경의 특징, 수환경에 따른 어류상 특징 등의 분석과 함께 조사하천의 건강성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 어류모니터링 기법 확립을 통해 환경유량산정 시 요구되는 객관적 기초자료를 구축하고 나아가 오염물질 유입, 하천정비사업 등의 각종 교란요인에 의해 발생할 수 있는 문제점들에 능등적으로 대처하고 교란에 의해 악화된 수환경의 복원을 위해 요구되는 객관적 기초자료 생산에 목적이 있다.

The fish communities and physical habitat conditions of fifteen tributaries of Lake Paldang in spring and autumn, 2008 were surveyed to evaluate the ecological health of the streams. The total 2,746 individuals were collected belonging to 11 families 31 genera 40 species. Two new species (Cottus koreanus, Gnathopogon strigaus) that have never been reported as yet in Lake Paldang watershed were found for the first time. The most dominant species in the tributaries was Acheilognathus yamatsutae (19.9%) which is Korean endemic species. Ecological health evaluation of fifteen tributaries using index of biological integrity (IBI) model for fish community and qualitative habitat evaluation index (QHEI) was performed. According th the IBI analysis, four streams (Siwoo-Stream, Jojong-Stream, Moonho-Stream and Mugab-Stream) were evaluated as "good" condition (B grade), Woosan-Stream were "poor" condition (D grade) and others were "fair" condition (C grade). Qualitative habitat evaluation index values of the four streams were the grade "II" indicating "good" condition and those of eleven streams were the grade "III", indicating 'fair' condition. On the whole, dataset of IBI and QHEI showed that ecological health of Jojong-Stream has been well maintained compared to other tributaries of Lake Paldang.

As for the increasing demanding on the development of direct-ecological landfill monitoring methods, it is needed for critically defining the condition of landfills and their influence on the environment, quantifying the amount of enzymes and bacteria mainly concerned with biochemical reaction in the landfills. This study was thus conducted to understand the fates of contaminants in association with groundwater quality parameters. For the study, groundwater was seasonally sampled from four closed unsanitary landfills(i.e. Cheonan(C), Wonju(W), Nonsan(N), Pyeongtaek(P) sites) in which microbial diversity was simultaneously obtained by 16S rDNA methods. Subsequently, a number of primer sets were prepared for quantifying the specific gene of representative bacteria and the gene of encoding enzymes dominantly found in the landfills. The relationship between water quality parameters and gene quantification were compared based on correlation factors. Correlation between DSR(Sulfate reduction bacteria) gene and BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand) was greater than 0.8 while NSR(Nitrification bacteria-Nitrospira sp.) gene and nitrate were related more than 0.9. A stabilization indicator(BOD/COD) and MTOT(Methane Oxidation bacteria), MCR(Methyl coenzyme M reductase), Dde(Dechloromonas denitrificans) genes were correlated over 0.8, but ferric iron and Fli(Ferribacterium limineticm) gene were at the lowest of 0.7. For MTOT, it was at the highest related at 100% over BOD/COD. In addition, anaerobic genes(i.e., nirS-Nitrite reductase, MCR. Dde, DSR) and DO were also related more than 0.8, which showing anaerobic reactions generally dependant upon DO. As demonstrated in the study, molecular biological investigation and water quality parameters are highly co-linked, so that quantitative real-time PCR could be cooperatively used for assessing landfill stabilization in association with the conventional monitoring parameters.

The objectives of the study were to analyze chemical water quality and physical habitat characteristics in the urban streams (Miho and Gap streams) along with evaluations of fish community structures and ecosystem health, throughout fish composition and guild analyses during 2006$\sim$2007. Concentrations of BOD and COD averaged 3.5 and 5.7 mg L$^{-1}$, in the urban streams, while TN and TP averaged 5.1 mg L$^{-1}$ and 274 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$, indicating an eutrophic state. Especially, organic pollution and eutrophication were most intense in the downstream reach of both streams. Total number of fish was 34 species in the both streams, and the most abundant species was Zacco platypus (32$\sim$42% of the total). In both streams, the relative abundance of sensitive species was low (23%) and tolerant and omnivores were high (45%, 52%), indicating an typical tolerance and trophic guilds of urban streams in Korea. According to multi-metric models of Stream Ecosystem Health Assessments (SEHA), model values were 19 and 24 in Miho Stream and Gap Stream, respectively. Habitat analysis showed that QHEI (Qulatitative Habitat Evaluation Index) values were 123 and 135 in the two streams, respectively. The minimum values in the SEHA and QHEI were observed in the both downstreams, and this was mainly attributed to chemical pollutions, as shown in the water quality parameters. The model values of SEHA were strongly correlated with conductivity (r=-0.530, p=0.016), BOD (r=-0.578, p< 0.01), COD (r=-0.603, p< 0.01), and nutrients (TN, TP: r>0.40, p<0.05). This model applied in this study seems to be a useful tool, which could reflect the chemical water quality in the urban streams. Overall, this study suggests that consistent ecological monitoring is required in the urban streams for the conservations along with ecological restorations in the degradated downstrems.

This study was to analyze the ecological conditions, based on physical habitat, chemical, and biological conditions before (2006, 2007) and after ecological restoration (2009) in five sites of Changwon Stream (CS) and six sites of Nam Stream (NS), respectively, and then to compare ecological health between the two period. The analysis of ecological health was based on the multimetric models of Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) and Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) along with water chemistry in the streams. For the study, the models of IBI and QHEI were modified as 8 and 11 metric attributes, respectively. For the evaluations, the survey was conducted in the period of 2006~2007 before the restoration and in 2009 after the restoration by the city. Chemical conditions, based on conductivity, in both streams showed a typical longitudinal declines along the axis of the upstream-to-downstream. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in water quality between the two periods. Values of IBI in the CS and NS averaged 21.6 and 19.7, respectively, indicating a C grade in the criteria of Ministry of Environment, Korea, and there was no significant differences in the IBI between the two periods. Values of QHEI after the restoration averaged 29.2 and 63.2 in the CS and NS, respectively and the values decreased markedly especially, in the NS (35.3) after the restoration. The habitat disturbance was mainly attributed to destructions (i.e., the narrower width of riparian vegetation and higher substrate exposure by the air) of artificial materials by massive flood in 2009. Overall, our results suggest that the restoration was not effective in the two streams between the two periods, even if the budget was used a lot and that such ecological restoration, not considered the natural disaster, may not effect for the stream restoration.

This research was to examine the physiochemical factors and the attached diatoms of ecological wetland in Paju from August 2010 to May 2011. As a result of physicohemical water quality assessment, the water temperature did not fluctuate much due to ample riparian vegetation and aquatic plants growing at the site. Due to the effect of Han River Estuary, site 4, 5 and 6 had high electricity conductivity. The BOD concentration was high at site 2, 3, and 4 caused by decrease in water quantity and inflow of polluted water. At all sites, T-N and T-P concentrations ranged from eutrophic to hypertrophic status. At the downstream, the T-N and T-P concentrations decreased by inhabiting aquatic plant. Total of 98 taxa of attached diatoms were found. As for dominant taxa, Achnanthes convergens, A. minutissima, Gomphonema gracile, G. parvulum, Melosira varians, Navicula seminulum, N. minima, N. pseudolanceolata, Nitzschia amphibia, N. palea, Surirella minuta and Synedra ulna var. fragilariodes appeared. The result of biological assessment of water quality rated the sites B(suboptimal)~D(poor) during seasons of low water temperature, Fall and Winter, with DAIpo ranging 24.1~68.2 and TDI of 48.4~85.6. During Spring and Summer, all sites were rated D(poor) with DAIpo lower than or equal to 40, and TDI above or equal to 70. The biological assessment of water quality at the research site showed inferior TDI result compared to that of DAIpo.

유사는 오염물질을 저장 또는 운반하는 매개체로 하류 수체의 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 과정에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 유사 발생 및 운송 양의 추정은 수질개선을 위한 유역관리계획을 수립하는데 중요한 자료가 된다. 이러한 유사량 및 운송과정은 주로 모형에 의해 계산되고 모의되는데, 많은 유사운송모형들이 유사이송용량 (sediment transport capacity)식을 이용하여 유사 발생량, 이송량 및 퇴적량을 산정한다. 유출에 의한 유사이송용량을 산정하기 위한 기존의 식들은 각기 다른 목적과 환경에서 개발되어 보편적으로 적용할 수 있는 식은 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 유사이송용량을 계산하기 위해 사용되는 식들의 개발 목적과 환경을 검토하고, 경사, 유량, 유사입경 및 토성에 따른 민감도를 조사하여 각 식의 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 8개의 유사이송용량 산정식은 모두 경사도에 가장 민감하게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. Abraham과 Yalin식 이외의 산정식을 이용하여 계산된 유사이송용량은 경사도가 0.1 % 보다 작을 때는 0 mg/l, 경사도가 100 % 보다 클 때는 이론최대치인 2,650 mg/l 을 넘는 것으로 나타나, 이들 산정식의 적용 가능한 경사도 범위를 0.1 %-100 %로 추정할 수 있었다. Abrahams식은 유량에, Bagnold식은 유사입경 및 토성에 민감한 것으로 나타났다. Low, Rickenmann, 및 Schoklitsch식은 유량에 민감하게 반응하지 않았고, Low와 Schoklitsch식은 토성에도 민감하지 않은 것으로 나타나, 이들 식의 제한된 적용성을 확인하였다. 한편, Yang식은 계산식에 포함된 로그항으로 인해 그 적용범위가 제한되는 경우가 있었다. Abrahams과 Yalin식을 이용하여 산정된 유사운송용량은 모든 인자들에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났으며, Yalin과 Low식의 경우, silt와 clay에 적용되었을 때 유량이 클수록 유사운송용량이 다소 작아지는 경향을 보임에 따라, 전체적으로 Abraham식의 적용성이 가장 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 모형을 이용한 유사량 모의 시 적용대상 지역의 특성에 가장 적합한 유사운송용량 산정식을 선정하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of erosion control works on the stream ecosystem in a mountain torrential stream. The species composition of benthic macroinvertebrates and biological water quality were investigated before and after construction of erosion control works at 5 sites. The total number of benthic macroinvertebrates before construction was 3,086 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 11 orders, 22 families, and 25 species, but after construction it has decreased to 1,208 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 10 orders, 17 families, and 19 species. Especially, the diversity, richness, and evenness indices, which were calculated based on existing number of biological species, have decreased or not produced at the erosion control sites, where biological species were not found or the minimum number of species were found. The results of community analysis of benthic macroinvertebrates and ESB(Ecological Score of Benthic macroinvertebrate community) indicated that the environmental qualities of the stream based on saprobity, environmental condition, and water quality decreased after the construction at all sites: before construction, the top of the stream was satisfactory and some satisfactory, the middle was some defectiveness, and the lower was defectiveness and very defectiveness; after construction, all parts of the stream except some parts of the top were very defectiveness. Moreover, the water quality of torrential stream was rated between I to III before construction, but after construction, it declined to $IV{\sim}V$ except control. The habitat damage of benthic macro invertebrates occurred at all investigation sites after the construction of erosion control works led to reduction of the number of biological species and water quality deterioration. The results reported in this study were collected directly after the construction of erosion control works. Therefore, additional studies are needed to further explore the effect of disaster-prevention of erosion control works and the recovery process of stream ecosystem through long term monitoring.

도시화로 인해 불투수층의 증가는 강우시 유출을 증가시켜 물순환을 왜곡시키고 다양한 오염물질을 수계로 배출시켜 수질악화 및 수생태계를 훼손시킨다. 이러한 환경 수문학적 문제를 해결하기 위하여 침투, 여과, 저류 등의 물리적 기작, 식생 및 토양의 생물학적 기작을 이용한 LID 기술을 적용하고 있다. LID 시설에 적용되는 식물은 심미적, 경관성을 증대시켜주나, 다량의 오염물질이 유입될 경우 일부 식물의 고사를 유발한다. 따라서 본 연구는 LID 시설내 식물 체내 중금속 농도를 파악하고자 수행하였다. 본 연구는 지붕 강우유출수를 처리를 위해 설치된 LID 시설(침투화분) 모니터링 대상 지점으로 선정하였으며, 패랭이(Dianthus chinensis)와 조팝나무(Spiraea fritschiana)가 식재되어있다. LID 시설 내 식재된 식물과의 비교를 위해 패랭이와 조팝나무가 식재된 화단을 각각 대조군으로 선정하였다. 패랭이는 잎과 뿌리, 조팝나무는 줄기와 잔가지로 구분하여 체내 중금속 함량에 대해 분석을 수행하였다. 중금속 분석은 토질오염공정시험기준에 의해 Fe, Ni, Zn, As를 분석하였다. 연구결과, LID 시설에 적용된 식생과 대조군 식생의 체내 Fe 농도는 패랭이(1176.9~3804.6mg/kg), 조팝나무(218.4~342.5mg/kg)이며, Ni의 경우 패랭이(13.3~21.4mg/kg), 조팝나무(7.2~12.5mg/kg) Zn은 패랭이(33.6~160.5mg/kg), 조팝나무(46.1~243.2mg/kg), As는 패랭이(7.3~37.3mg/kg), 조팝나무(1.9~8.7mg/kg)로 대조군에 비해 유사하거나 높은 값을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, LID 시설에 식재된 조팝나무는 대조군에 비해 줄기는 약 26배, 잔가지 19배 이상 높은 농도를 보이는 것으로 나타났으나, 중금속 농도의 차이는 식물의 중금속 흡수 혹은 토양의 중금속 흡착능력이 토양의 종류, 특성에 따라 다를 수 있기 때문에 모니터링 환경에 따라 편차가 존재할 것으로 판단된다.
