There are approximately 500 abandoned mining sites in Korea. Abandoned mines cause various environmental and safety problems such as landscape damage, soil, groundwater and stream pollution by heavy metal, acid mine drainage and soil erosion. According to the survey, there are significant numbers of mines causing environmental problems in Korea. For a environmentally sound management of abandoned mines, the Soil Pollution Control Act should include the regulation concerning soil pollution and recovery standards of the abandoned mines. Also, comprehensive survey about abandoned mines, setting-up of tile recovery priority, finance for clean-up are necessary.

수질오염총량관리제도 하에서 토지계 개별배출부하량 삭감을 위해 설치되는 비점오염저감시설의 저감효율은 삭감부하량 산정에 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 관련 문헌 및 환경부 모니터링 사업결과로부터 비점오염저감시설의 저감효율에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 살펴보았다. 모니터링 결과 중여과형 시설의 저감부하량에 대한 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 선행토양함수량보다 시설의 운영 및 유지관리 및 유역 특성을 포함하는 개별 시설의 특성에서 기인하는 영향이 컸다. 또한 BOD에 대한 회귀식의 결정계수는 높았으나 TN과 TP에 대한 결정계수는 낮았다. 비점오염저감시설의 저감효율을 안정적으로 얻기 위해서는 시설의 적절한 운영 및 유지관리가 중요하며, 향후 이를 평가할 수 있는 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.

이상기후로 인한 강우패턴의 변화는 상류 유역에서의 토양 유실, 비점오염물질의 발생을 가속화시켜 하류 수계의 수질 및 수생태 건강성에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 낙동강 수계에 위치한 내성천 유역에서는 토양 침투율이 높은 토양군으로 구성되어 있어, 강우 시 유출량 및 유사유출량의 비율이 높아 비점오염 저감을 위한 대책 수립의 중요성이 지속적으로 제기되어 왔다. 특히, 내성천 유역 내 상류에 위치한 토일천 및 낙화암천 소유역에서는 다양한 영농활동과 대규모 및 소규모 축사의 영향으로 강우 시 다양한 비점오염물질이 많이 발생하고 있다. 하류 하천에서의 수질을 효율적으로 개선하기 위해서는 비점오염 발생량이 높은 상류 소유역을 대상으로 적절한 최적관리기법 선정과 이에 대한 정량적인 평가 방법이 필요하다. 최근 식생여과대, 침사지 등과 같은 다양한 최적관리기법 중 인공습지에 대한 점오염원 및 비점오염물질 처리 효과가 국내·외 여러 모니터링 연구를 통해 증명되었다. 그러나 아직까지 유역 내 다양한 토양 및 토지이용상태와 그리고 오염원 유출 특성을 고려하여 인공습지의 조성에 따른 유역단위에서의 수질 개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 장기 강우-유출 유역단위 모형인 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 내 인공습지 모의가 가능하도록 모형 소스코드를 수정하였으며, 내성천 상류 소유역(토일천, 낙화암천)에 위치한 인공습지 조성 전후에 따른 유역 말단에서의 유사 및 비점오염물질의 저감 효율을 비교 분석하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 내성천 유역을 대상으로 인공습지를 통한 유사 및 비점오염 저감 대책 수립 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Railroad is well known for eco-friendly transportation system. But, for past few decades, there might be happened many contamination acts in railway facility sites. Industrial and municipal solid wastes produced to maintain and fix trains were dumped to underground of railroad depot area. To develop and reconstruct this area, we should remediate the contaminated soil and ground water. This study was conducted to evaluate the soil pollution status of railroad depot and propose the optimum remediation processes. Our investigation showed that main pollutants sources were TPH and some heavy metals from the dump site. The surveying results for the soil under rail track and crossing nose areas showed TPH contamination from crossing nose area causing lubricant agent. It could be use and rehabilitate the railroad facility areas to an intended purpose with an application of well designed in-situ and ex-situ remediation processes.

Non-point source pollution of sediment, plant nutrients and pesticides from cropland has been identified as a significant environmental problem. Vegetative Filter Strips have been identified as one of BMPs to control nonpoint source pollution. This paper reviews the concept, functions, design criteria and management of VFS to control nonpoint source pollution.

대수층에서 오염물질의 이동은 대류, 확산, 흡착 등의 물리화학적 현상에 영향을 받는다. 지하수 유동과 오염 물질 운송에 관련된 분석은 지하수 자원의 관리와 평가, 복원사업에 필요한 요소이다. 본 연구의 목적은 사질대수층에서의 2차원 plume 모니터링을 통하여 오염운의 관측치와 모사치를 비교하므로써 종분산지수와 종/횡분산지수비를 결정하는 것이다. 실내 자유면 대수층 실험에서 MT3D를 이용한 case study로부터 추정된 종분산지수는 0.4 cm였으며 횡/종분산지수비는 1/5로 나타났다.

Soil contamination in Korea has been accelerated every year. Because of their persistence and cumulative tendency in the environment, soil contaminants have potential long-term environmental and health concerns and it is estimated to cost enormous expense for clean-up. Korea government has legislated the law on conservation of soil environment in mid 1990s, and managed and treated hazardous wastes in contaminated sites as a remediation policy since then. Soil remediation technologies are classified into in-situ/ex-situ or biological/physico-chemical/thermal processes according to applied places or treatment methods, respectively. In Korea, clean-up of polluted sites has been mostly carried out at military areas, railroad-related sites and small-scale oil spilt sites. For these cases, in-situ remediation technologies such as soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioventing were mainly used. In recent days, an environmental-friendly soil remediation emerged as a new concept - for example, a new soil remediation process using nanotechnology or molecular biological study and an integrated process which can overcome the limitation of individual process. To have better applicability of remediation technologies, comprehensive understandings about the pollutants and soil characteristics and the suitable techniques are required to be investigated. Above all, development of environmental technologies based on the sustainability accompanied by public attention can improve soil environment in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to predict environmental distribution of anthracene, benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-methylphenanthrene and phenanthrene in a four phase biopile system - air, water, soil and non aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) phase using level I fugacity model. Soil samples used for this study were collected from three sites in the United Kingdom which were historically contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The level I fugacities (f) for the five contaminants were markedly different, however, the fugacities of each contaminant in three soil samples did not show significant difference. NAPL and soil were the dominant phases for all five contaminants. Results of this study indicated that difference in percentage of organic carbon strongly influenced the partitioning behavior of the cntaminants. The presence of benzene calls for an urgent need for risk-based management of air and water phase. Whereas insignificant amount of chemicals leached in the water phase for other organic contaminants showing greatly reduced potential of groundwater contamination. Furthermore, this study helped us to confirm the association of risk critical contaminants with the residual saturation in treated soils. They also can be used to emphasize the importance of accounting for the partitioning behavior of both NAPL and soil phases in the process of the risk assessment of the sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.
