The dredged sediment management system was developed to have an objective, quantitative and scientific decision for the optimum removal time of dredged sediments behind debris barrier and was set up at the real site. The dredged sediment management system is designed and developed to directly measure the dredged sediments behind debris barrier in the field. This management system is composed of Data Acquisition System (DAS), Solar System and measurement units for measuring the weight of dredge sediments. The weight of dredged sediments, the water level and the rainfall are measured in real time using the monitoring sensors, and their data can be transmitted to the office through a wireless communication method. The monitoring sensors are composed of the rain gauge to measure rainfall, the load cell system to measure the weight of dredged sediments, and water level meter to measure the water level behind debris barrier. The management criteria of dredged sediments behind debris barrier was suggested by using the weight of dredged sediments. At first, the maximum weight of dredged sediments that could be deposited behind debris barrier was estimated. And then when 50%, 70% and 90% of the maximum dredged sediments weight were accumulated behind debris barrier, the management criteria were divided into phases of Outlooks, Watch and Warning, respectively. The weight of dredged sediments can be monitored by using the dredged sediment management system behind debris barrier in real time, and the condition of debris barrier and the removal time of dredged sediments can be decided based on monitoring results.

The rainfall intensity-duration curve (I-D curve) was used for selecting the dredging time of sediments behind a debris barrier which is located at the study area in Inje-gun, Kangwon Province. The I-D curve was newly suggested by using the data of rainfall-induced landslides for about 30 years from June to September in Kangwon Province. According to the monitoring results, the landslides have been not occurred during the monitoring period of the dredged sediments management system at the study area, and also all of the rainfall events were located below the I-D curve. The weight of the dredged sediments measured at the management system in the field was increased but the weight increment was small. It means that the increase of the dredged sediments was not the effect of landslide but the effect of soil erosion at the ground surface due to heavy rainfall. The weight of the dredged sediments behind a debris barrier could be known in real time using the rainfall data measured at the management system. Also, when the I-D curve is used with the management system, it is possible to select the optimum dredging time for sediments behind debris barrier.

각종 오염물질이 수계로 유입되어 침강하면 하상에 퇴적되는데 이 오염된 퇴적물 중 질퍽한 콜로이드상의 물질을 오니토라 일컫는다. 이 오염물은 저장소 및 물환경의 변화에 따라 수질 악화의 직접적인 원인이 될 수 있는 인, 질소 등의 영양염류를 수중으로 재용출시킬 수 있는 비점오염원 종류 중 하나이다. 하천 준설은 하천에서 저수용량 확보와 하상 유지관리 및 골재확보, 수질 개선을 위해 토사를 제거하고 그 토사를 운반선에 의하여 운반하여 지정된 투기장에 투기하는 일련의 공사를 말하며, 이를 통하여 비점오염원인 오니토를 직접적으로 제거할 수 있다. 준설의 필요성 판단 및 수질개선 효과를 모니터하기 위해서는 하천의 수질과 유량을 조사해야 한다. 이때 대상구간이 요구하는 수질 기준에 부합하지 않으면 오염퇴적물 준설 기준을 통해 준설이 필요한 구간 및 사업량을 결정한다. 준설 사업량의 경제적 타당성을 정량적으로 검증하기 위해 대상 구간을 준설을 하지 않을 시 오니토가 상시 용출된다는 가정하에 물재생시설로 이 오염물을 정화했을 때의 비용을 준설 사업비와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천공사 표준시방서(2007)에 제시된 오염퇴적물 준설 기준을 만족하는 서낙동강수계의 준설 계획 지구에 대한 계획 사업비와 해당 지구 하류에 위치한 물재생시설의 정화능력 및 운영비를 비교해 하천 준설 사업비에 대한 편익을 산정하였다.

In the present study, experiments have been performed to investigate the possibility of removing Cochlodinium polykrikoides using the dredged sediment from a coastal fishery and then to derive the optimal conditions; the amount and particle size of dredged sediment besprinkled into water, the thermal treatment, the types and amounts of additives, and the depth profile of Cochlodinium polykrikoides. Results showed that the optimal amount of dredged sediment besprinkled into water was 6~10 g/L, and the removal efficiency of Cochlodinium polykrikoides after the reaction time for 60 min was 73~93%. Note that, in the real sea water, it is necessary to besprinkle 6~10 $kg/m^3$ of dry dredged sediment on a unit area (1 $m^2$). With decreasing particle size, Cochlodinium polykrikoides could be more efficiently removed. The removal efficiency was 93% with the dredged sediment smaller than 100 ${\mu}m$, whereas it was 51% with that of 100 ${\mu}m$ ${\mu}m$. Since most of dredged sediment (over 90%) was smaller than 100 ${\mu}m$, high efficiency could be obtained by besprinkling only the dredged sediment without pre-treatment. CaO was found to be an effective additive in promoting the removal efficiency (up to 99%). The optimal amount of additive was 5~10%, however, it was necessary to use as small amount of an additive as possible in order to avoid the sharp increase in pH. The removal efficiency increased with increasing depth profile of Cochlodinium polykrikoides. The removal efficiency was 83% at 5 cm depth, whereas it was 93% at 50 cm depth. In the sea water, red tide occurred within 3 m depth, and furthermore most Cochlodinium polykrikoides existed within 1 m depth. It was, therefore, expected that higher removal efficiency of Cochlodinium polykrikoides could be obtained when the dredged sediment was besprinkled into the sea water. The removal efficiency of Cochlodinium polykrikoides was up to 93% when the dredged sediment (<100 ${\mu}m$) was besprinkled into water at the ratio of 10 g/L. This result was comparable to that obtained with loess (90~97%). All the results in the present study indicated that the dredged sediment from a coastal fishery could be successfully used as a substitute of loess for removing the red tide alga.

본 연구는 해양퇴적물 준설 중 해양의 탁도와 2차오염을 유발하는 미세한 입자의 퇴적물을 생물학적으로 처리하는 친환경 정화기술로 유용미생물제제(BM-S-1)를 투여한 Lab Scale의 실험장치를 이용하여 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 유용미생물제제(BM-S-1)가 우점되어 있는 Lab Scale 실험장치를 운전하여 유기물 정량분석방법인 COD, T-N, T-P를 분석해본 결과 모든 항목이 약 98% 이상 처리됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 본 실험대상물질인 해양퇴적물은 고농도의 염분이 함유되어 있어 기존기술만으로는 생물학적 처리가 어려웠지만, 본 연구에서 사용된 유용미생물제제(BM-S-1)은 염분이 함유된 오염 퇴적물에서도 효과적인 생물학적 처리가 가능함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 준설 시 2차오염을 유발시키는 미세한 입자의 해양퇴적물을 본 공법으로 처리하여 방류할 시 친환경적인 준설이 이루어질 수 있으며 이 때 처리되어 배출되는 미세토양은 재이용 가능하다고 판단된다.

As sediment contamination problems have recently been raised in Korea, the need for technologies to remove contaminants in sediments has increased. Contaminated sediments in Korea has been annually dredged and treated using processes of coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation on barges, dewatered and dried at prepared site, and then disposed at a landfill site, which is very costly, and only a limited landfill space available in Korea. Contaminants in media containing a high percentage of silt and clay sized particles, typically, are strongly adsorbed on the particles and difficult to remove. Particle separation processes that separate the fine clay and silt particles from the coarser sand and gravel and concentrate the contaminants into a smaller volume of sediment that can be further treated of disposed of, are very effective in the post step processes. In this study are to test the feasibility of treating dredged sediments using a hydrocyclone process, and to estimate design parameters for a pilot scale test. A hydrocyclone was operated to separate larger particles from the sediments. It was found that the particle separation was greatly affected by the solid contents and inlet pressure in the hydrocyclone.

There is a volume change between the sediments and the dredged materials because the dredged materials is fully disturbed by the dredger and settled in the basin from the stabilized condition. The volume of the dredged materials is also affected by the coagulants and flocculants (hereafter C & F) which was used to speed up the settling of the suspended solids. In this study, the volume change of the dredged materials is analysed in detail due to the injection amount of the C & F. The dredged materials were sampled in the lagoon located in the East coastal zone, and the volume change of the samples is quantitatively analysed by the laboratory test due to the change of the clay content and the amount of the C & F. The optimal amounts of the C & F is determined by showing the minimal volume change due to C & F injection. From the experimental results, the volume of the dredged materials is increased 1.68 times on an average and the volume change rate is slightly increased, i.e., negligible, as the clay content increase in the case of the C & F injection.

Sediment dredging can permanently remove pollutants from an aquatic ecosystem, which is considered an effective approach to aquatic ecosystem restoration. In this study, we quantified the effects of sediment dredging on water quality in Masan Bay by calculation of oxygen demanding rate. We applied ecosystem model including water and sediment quality module in Masan Bay. The results showed that the increase of calculated oxygen demanding rate is significant due to sediment dredging of both inner part and outer part of Masan Bay. On the other hand, the increase is gradual due to decrease of anthropogenic load. It meant sediment dredging can improve water quality of Masan Bay more. Using correlation equation between oxygen demanding rate and sediment oxygen demand, we calculated that the area of sediment dredging which is equal to the effects of 10 % reduction of anthropogenic load. It is $1.68km^2$ in inner part and $3.15km^2$ in outer part of the Masan Bay. This Meant that to improve water quality of Masan Bay, sediment dredging in inner part is efficient method.

In the present study, experiments have been performed to investigate the effects of the type of adsorbent, pH, and ionic strength on the adsorption of nutrients (nitrate and phosphate in artificial solution) onto the dredged sediment from a coastal fishery. In addition, this study aims to evaluate the possibility of removing the nutrients from the water using the dredged sediment. In the adsorption experiments of the nutrients, the reactions were completed within 10 minutes using ${NO_3}^-$-N($100{\mu}M$, 10mM) and ${PO_4}^{3-}$-P($100{\mu}M$, 10mM). In the steady state, 61% and 77% of the initial amounts were removed respectively for $100{\mu}M$ ${NO_3}^-$-N and $100{\mu}M$ ${PO_4}^{3-}$-P. The thermal treatment of the dredged sediment at $900^{\circ}C$ was not helpful to increase the removal efficiencies of the nutrients. Additives such as CaO and MgO dropped the removal efficiency of ${NO_3}^-$ to 0%, but increased that of ${PO_4}^{3-}$ up to 98%. Adsorption isotherms of ${NO_3}^-$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$ could be explained by the Freundlich equation ($R^2$>0.99). The adsorption reaction was little influenced by the pH and ionic strength. Based on the results showing short reaction time and considerably high removal efficiencies of the nutrients, it is proposed to apply the dredged sediment from a coastal fishery to removing nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate in the water.
