Oil pollution was world-wide prevalent treat to the environment, and the physic-chemical remediation technology of the TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbon) contaminated soil had the weakness that its rate was very slow and not economical. Bioremediation of the contaminated soil is a useful method if the concentrations are moderate and non-biological techniques are not economical. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of additives on TPH degradation in a diesel contaminated soil environment. Six experimental conditions were conduced; (i) diesel contaminated soil, (ii) diesel contaminated soil treated with microbial additives, (iii) diesel contaminated soil treated with microbial additives and the mixture was titrated to the end point of pH 7 with NaOH, (iv) diesel contaminated soil treated with microbial additives and accelerating agents and (v) diesel contaminated soil treated with microbial additives and accelerating agents, and the mixture was titrated to the end point of pH 7 with NaOH. After 10 days, significant TPH degradation (67%) was observed in the DSP-1 soil sample. The removal of TPH in the soil sample where microbial additives were supplemented was 38% higher than the control soil sample during the first ten days. The microbial additives were effective in both the initial removal rate and relative removal efficiency of TPH compared with the control group. However, various environmental factors, such as pH and temperature, also affected the activities of microbes lived in the additives, so the pH calibration of the oil-contaminated soil would help the initial reduction efficiency in the early periods.

유류에 의해 오염된 지하수와 지반의 처리시 오염 정도와 향후 부지사용 목적에 따라 적절한 처리 기준을 정하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 미 메사추세츠주에서는 오염물의 음용수에 대한 노출 정도에 따라 지하수의 오염처리 기준을 세분하는데, 그 중 가장 엄격한 것이 GW-1 기준이고 반대로 가장 관대한 것은 UCL 기준이다. 본 컬럼은 이 두 기준을 각각 적용한 사례연구를 통해 유류오염 지하수 및 지반 처리 기술을 소개하고 있다.

위해성 평가(Risk assessment)는 지하수나 토양의 오염으로 인해 자연 환경과 사람에게 미칠수 있는 위해(risk)를 정량적으로 평가하는 방법이다. 이 평가를 바탕으로 대상지역의 오염도 저감 여부 및 목표를 설정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유류로 오염된 부지를 대상으로 측정된 TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon)값에 근거하여 인체에 미칠 수 있는 위해((Risk)에 대한 정량적인 평가와 동시에 오염된 토양 및 지하수의 정화기준을 산정 하고자하였다. 그 결과 유류로 오염된 00지구에 대한 정화기술적용시의 최소성분감소비(CRF)를 산출하여 정화의 정도치와 정화목표농도를 산출하였다.

This study was aimed to make GIS oiling thematic maps and analyze temporal oiling variation patterns for two months after 'Hebei Spirit' oil spill accident in December 7, 2007 using GIS and oiling status surveyed data. As a basic work for making of oiling thematic maps, geometric corrections were performed with IKONOS images using ground control points data. These corrected images were used to make detailed coastline from digital charts, and then spatial unit of coastline were defined using classified coastline types. And to know the representative parameters which reflect oiling situation, relationship between oiling status parameters extracted from four times oiling assessment reports and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) data (December 2007 and January 2008) monitored by Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI). Using these representative oiling status parameters pollution value were calculated, and they were keyed into spatial unit of coastline as attributive value. GIS oiling status thematic maps made with coastline containing pollution value showed the initial two month's situations somewhat well. Also, to analyze temporal variation pattern of coastline types, about 13.4km length coastline around Malripo beach was defined as detailed study area where is the common spatial zone surveyed oiling status by each organizations. Based on this study results, it could be possible to provide oiling status maps quickly and to support decision making for oiling control action and scientific pollution monitoring.

유류로 오염된 토양에 대해 토양경작법(Landfarming)을 적용하여 복원효율을 평가하였다. 복원 초기에는 주로 휘발에 의한 오염물질의 저감이 이루어졌으며, 이 후 미생물성장에 필요한 토양뒤집기와 질소원 영양물질의 공급으로 인해 미생물수가 복원초기에 비해 약 200배 증가하면서 약 30여일 경과 후 초기 20,000ppm에서 복원목표인 TPH의 토양오염우려기준 2,000ppm의 이하인 1,910ppm으로 감소하였다. 시간이 경과할수록 탄소원 섭취기질 부족으로 완만한 오염물질 감소속도를 나타내면서 최종적으로 TPH를 측정한 결과 1,288ppm으로서 제거효율 94%이상을 나타내었다.

물리 화학적 원리에 의한 환경오염 정화방법은 종종 낮은 효율을 보이면서 공사비 부담은 큰 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 생물학적 방법들은 이러한 단점들을 극복하면서 토양과 지하수를 정화할 수 있는 대안으로서 그 가능성을 입증하고 있는 실정이다. 그 중에서 생물학적 통풍법은 유류오염지역에 적용하고 있으며 그 원리는 지중 오염지역에 충분한 산소를 공급함으로서 오염성분이 토착 미생물에 의해 제거되도록 하는 것이다. 본 발표는 유류오염 지역에 적용된 생물학적 통풍법의 효율을 평가하여 제시하였다.

This study tries to give improvement directions of the law of oil spill focusing on the view that satisfying remuneration for victims should be considered. And it looks through the existing remuneration system provided by P&I Club and IOPC Fund. It also covers with issues related to remuneration in order to find the best for victims. The major contents of this study are as follows. First, the present law of compensation security to Marine oil pollution accident should be revised. Maximum value of remuneration needs to be raised and subjects liable to pay reparation need to be expanded. Second, in case the damage is widely different comparing to similar cases in foreign countries, it's hard to get complete remuneration from international corporations responsible for reparation. That's the reason the national emergency system for oil pollution must be established. Third, this study says the law that certainly defines a liability subject and that the liability is not necessarily caused by fault should be enacted. Last, it suggest that victims should have their object income data to facilitate establishment of the law of compensation for damages from marine oil pollution. To calculate proper remuneration, government should consider to choose one of public organizations as an investigator to damages and should collect accurate statistics relating to fishery. Furthermore, compensation system which can provide rapid reparation to victims needs to established by founding professional maritime organization of arbitration.

A physical model experiment was conducted using a sand and gravel-filled tank model, to investigate the influence on the GPR response of LNAPL vapor phase effects in the unsaturated zone and of residual phase of LNAPL trapped in the saturated zone. Background measurements of GPR were made with only water in the tank using a fluctuating water table model. Gasoline was, then, injected into the bottom of the model tank to simulate a subsurface discharge from a leaking pipe or tank at depth, obtaining GPR data with rising and lowering of water table. Results from the experiment show the GPR sensitivity to the changes in the moisture content in the vadose zone and its effectiveness for monitoring minor fluctuation of the water table. The results also demonstrate a potential of GPR for monitoring possible vapor phase effects of volatile hydrocarbons in the vadose zone as a function of time, and for detecting the effects of residual phase of hydrocarbons in the water saturated system. In addition, the results provide the basis for a strategy that has the potential to successfully detect and delineate residual LNAPL contamination in the water-saturated system at field sites where the conditions are similar to those simulated in the physcial models described herein.
