The sediment makes up the sea floor and plays an important role as a habitats for living things in the sea. However, pollution of coastal sediment due to internal and external factors such as inflow of contaminants from land and self-pollution becoming more serious, the needs for management of sediment that play an important role in ecology, is increasing. In particular, the review and evaluation of the effects of sediment in marine development projects including reclamation and dredging, have significance in terms of proactive protection and management of surrounding ecosystems. This study proposed the improvement measures for marine sediment management standards on the sea area utilization consultation for the development of public water. For the purpose, The evaluation and management standards of domestic and overseas marine sediments were reviewed and compared. The sediment environment guidelines under the Marine Environment Management Act of Korea were reviewed. Accordingly, the cases of Canada and NOAA, which have various evaluation standards consist of comprehensive factors, were analyzed. For analysis of operational cases, the port and fishing port development projects for the last five years (2016-2020) that are considered to have the greatest impact on sediments among the sea area use consultations were also reviewed. Finally, this study suggested that the assessment factors for ecological hazards and potential human risks should be considered in the sediment environmental standards in the sea area utilization consultation system.

하천퇴적물은 물의 순환과정에서 유역으로부터 유입되는 물질에 따라 조성이 변하게 된다. 특히 입자가 작은 토양과 유기성 물질들은 물순환과정에 이동성이 크게 나타나며, 인간에 의해 개발된 지역은 자연상태에 비해 이동하는 물질이 많이 나타나곤 한다. 본 연구에서는 하천에 건설된 보에 대한 퇴적물 조사를 실시함으로서 향후 수질관리에 필요한 기초 자료를 수집하고자 하였다. 본고에서는 금강과 낙동강에 건설된 보의 주요지점에 대한 퇴적물 조사를 실시하고 수질영향을 평가하였다. 조사는 홍수기전과 홍수기후로 구분하여 2회에 걸쳐 실시하였으며 물리적 성상과 화학적 항목에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 입도분석 결과 금강 주요 10개 지점의 퇴적물 조성은 Sand, Silt와 Clay 성분이 혼합되어 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 삼각좌표 분류법에 의한 토성은 대부분의 지점이 실트질양토(SiL)로 평가되었다. 완전연소가능량은 0.35~1.37로 전 지점에서 하천 호소 퇴적물 오염평가 기준의 유기물 함량기준 13%보다 높지 않은 것으로 나타났으며 홍수기 전 후에도 거의 유사하였다. 금강에서는 중금속뿐만 아니라 유기물 및 영양염류도 기준보다 낮게 나타났으며, 모든 항목에서 환경부예규인 하천 호소퇴적물 오염평가 기준보다 낮게 평가되었다. 하상 퇴적물이 수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 용출실험에서도 유기물 및 중금속 모두 수질에 미치는 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 평가되었다. 낙동강 주요 26지점의 입도분석 결과 퇴적물 조성은 대부분 Sand로 구성되어 삼각좌표 분류법에 의한 토성은 사토(S)로 평가되었다. 홍수기 전 후에 조사한 결과 완전연소가능량은 0.27~2.85으로 전 지점에서 하천 호소 퇴적물 오염평가 기준의 유기물 함량 기준보다 낮았으며 홍수기 전 후에도 거의 유사하였다. 화학적 성상 분석 결과 모든 항목에서 환경부예규인 하천 호소퇴적물 오염평가 기준보다 낮게 평가되었으며, 용출실험에서도 유기물 및 중금속 모두 수질에 영향을 거의 미치지 않는 것으로 평가되었다. 이번 조사는 4대강 건설 후 하상이 안정화 되지 않은 상태로 인해 지점간 특별한 경향성은 확인할 수 없었으며 보다 정확한 결과 도출을 위해서는 장기적인 조사를 통해 평가해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper proposed an environmental standard far beneficial use of dredged materials currently considered as waste materials. In Korea, even though chemical analysis of sediments are carried out frequently, their analysis results were not interrelated with the effects of biological lives due to a shortage of data, which may result in difficulty to develope Korean standards for reusing dredged materials. For these, this paper first searched existing foreign standards, analyzed local contaminated sediment data, identified their main components of contaminations and then compared clean-up standards of sediments consisting of lower and higher level. From these analyses new environmental standards considering Korean domestic circumstances are proposed. It is judged that newly proposed standards are appropriate in terms of both Korean national sedimental environments and economical recycling aspects because environmental standard levels proposed are higher than background level of sediments in Korea and foreign country's standards, where many experiences and environmental monitoring works have been already performed.

The main purpose of this study is to offer informations about the current conditions and basic data of sediments for the urban streams in the Busan city. Total 14 urban streams were selected and sediment samples were collected. Then, It was investigated the sediment qualities though the measurement of pH, proximate analysis, elemental analysis, COD, organic carbon content, volatile solid content and heavy metal concentration. Results show that COD, organic carbon content, volatile solid content and heavy metal concentration of sediment are determined in the range of $1.20{\sim}75.07mg\;L^{-1}$, 0.19~11.54%, 0.23~34.21% and $0.4{\sim}732.6mg\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. Finally, Analysis data of sediments were compared with USEPA sediment quality standards and ontario sediment quality guidelines. As a result, when compared with USEPA sediment quality standards, total 9 samples were evaluated as heavily polluted and total 3 samples were evaluated as moderately polluted. But, when compared with ontario sediment quality guidelines, total 3 samples were evaluated as Severe effect level and total 10 samples were evaluated as lowest effect level.

This study was carried out to investigated changes in sediments in the eight weir sections of Nakdong River. Sediments were collected and analyzed for Grain Size, Ignition loss, Total Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, and Meta. The upstream of the weir was found that fine-grained sediments have repeated increases and decreases. It was found that coarse-grained sediments were being maintained in the downstream part of the weir. The sediments Ignition Loss, Total Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus are strongly correlated with Grain Size, and these increased at the point where sediments are fine. In the case of metal, the concentration increased across the board, and the correlation with Grain Size, Ignition loss, Total Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus was weak. Although there were some sections where fine-grained sediments, organic materials, nutrients, metals increased in the Nakdong River, the overall pollution level is considered weak.

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.

An investigation on the polluted sediments in the Lake Sihwa and the benthos that inhabited on the sediments was conducted. Cost effective remediation alternatives were derived form the results of the investigation. The sediment samples taken from four sampling points out of thirteen showed relatively high heavy metal (particularly copper) concentrations which exceeded the Effects Range Low (ERL) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA. The four sampling points were located in front of industrial complexes. Although the heavy metals appeared to have affected the growth of the benthos, the concentration of it did not exceed the criteria of dredging that were developed by Netherlands or the State of Washington, USA. However, contamination by organic matters and sulfur compounds was severe, which exceeded the criteria of dredging that were established in Japan. The sediments taken from the four sampling points which were contaminated with heavy metals showed higher organic matter content in general. The organic matters in the sediments depleted oxygen in summer, which appeared to be fatal to the benthos. A comprehensive analysis on the sediments, benthos, and other environmental impact from the contaminated sediments drew a conclusion that the benthonic environment of the Lake Sihwa needed a stepwise remediation, giving a particular emphasis on the clean up of the sediments upstram of the Lake which could cause odor problems to the nearby residential area.

Regulatory test method for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) in the marine sediment and biota has not still been established even though TPHs are one of the major pollutants in marine environment. Based on the Korean Soil Standard Method (SSM) for TPHs, we considered a new treatment method for determining TPHs in marine environmental samples by using a Gas chromatography coupled with Mass spectrometric detector. We suggested an improved recovery test for quality control procedures and introduced analytical procedures of removing sulfur, polar organic materials, water and saponification for removing neutral lipids in marine bottom sediments and biota.
