환경부는 화학물질로 인한 국민건강 및 환경상의 위해(危害)를 예방하고 화학물질을 적절하게 관리하고, 화학물질로 인하여 발생하는 사고에 신속히 대응함으로써 화학물질로부터 모든 국민의 생명과 재산 및 환경을 보호하기위한 법률인 "화학물질관리법"을 2015년 1월 1일부터 시행하였다. 화학물질관리법에서는 유해화학물질의 취급기준과 유해화학물질 취급시설의 설치 및 관리 기준을 준수토록 하고 있으며, 유해화학물질 취급시설을 설치 및 운영 시에는 사전에 화학사고 발생으로 사업장 주변 지역의 사람이나 환경 등에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 유해화학물질 취급시설의 설치단계에서 안전성을 확보하기 위한 유해화학물질 화학사고 장외영향평가서를 작성 및 제출하도록 하고 있다. 또한 사고대비물질을 규정 수량이상 취급하는 경우 위해관리계획서를 작성하여 지역사회에 고지하도록 하고 있다. 법 시행 이전에 유해화학물질 취급시설을 설치한 사업장은 사업장 규모에 따라 장외영향평가서의 제출 유예기간인 2019년 12월 31일까지 제출하여야 하며, 사고 대비물질의 영업허가를 득해야하는 사업장은 2017년 내 장외영향평가서를 제출하여야 한다. 장외영향평가(off-site risk assessment(ORA)) 제도는 유해화학물질 취급시설의 기본평가정보(공정 정보), 장외평가정보(사고 시나리오 선정 및 위험도 분석), 타 법령과의 관계정보로 구성되어 있다. 장외영향평가의 효율적인 작성을 위하여 현장과 일치된 공정정보(공정개요 및 공정도면 등의 자료)의 확보가 필수적이다. 본 발표에서는 복잡한 장외영향평가 제도로부터 기업의 대응을 위한 장외영향평가 운영 절차와 장외영향평가서의 효율적인 작성을 위한 사전 준비 자료 및 작성 방안을 제시하여, 사업장에서 장외영향평가 제도를 이행하는데 도움을 주고자 한다.

우리나라의 경우 환경영향평가서 작성 등에 관한 규정에서, '환경영향평가란 환경에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 개발사업의 계획을 수립함에 있어 사업이 환경에 미칠 영향을 미리 예측 평가하여 환경에의 영향을 저감시킬 수 있는 여러가지 대안을 비교 검토하여 환경보전의 관점에서 경제적$\cdot$기술적 상황을 감안한 최선의 안을 선택하는 것'이라고 정의하고 있다.

The environmental impact assessment(EIA) project in Korea has undergone changes and revisions in various evaluation items for about 30 years after the introduction of the Environmental Conservation Act (1997). However, despite the importance of land use evaluation items under the current EIA Act, there are insufficient studies to consider. Therefore, this study focused on the land-use evaluation items based on the EIA guidelines, reviewed 90 of the evaluation documents and consultation documents, and tried to suggest implications and supplementary points forthe domestic EIA land-use evaluation items. As a result, the paradigm was changing from land efficiency centered on development in the past to land efficiency centered on the natural environment and resource conservation. However, in spite of the manual for fitting the paradigm change, opinions on the conservation of the natural environment are still being drawn in the consultation document, so it needs improvement. Two improvements in the impact assessment process suggested in this study are the establishment of standardized spatial data and a quantitative impact and reduction method evaluation tool based on it. In particular, there is a need for a plan evaluation tool for land use arrangement and distribution that can solve the needs of minimizing damage to the natural environment and securing green space and a green network.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) practitioners play a very pivotal role in establishing EIA policies, and when implementing EIA environmental conflicts can be prevented and resolved by sharing information with stakeholders and coordinating opinions. For this reason, grasping the perceptions of stakeholders including practitioners about the overall system, such as EIA policies and implementation, can be helpful in setting improvement directions and policy directions for EIA. However, there is an insufficient information on the perception and understanding of stakeholders about the EIA system and operation currently in effect in Korea. Therefore, this study diagnoses operational and procedural problems for the EIA system, which is a decision-making tool and a precautionary technique that can minimize adverse effects through the environmental information analysis method, and improvement points and systems of the EIA system in the future. We tried to find a complement of an online survey of 37 questions,responses from 95 responses from stakeholders of EIA were summarized. Stakeholders were aware of the problems of the operation of the current system and the preparation of the evaluation form, and this was reflected. Period and cost of preparation of EIS (49%), the introduction of a new method (26%) and the items of collecting opinions and conflict management (41%), which showed high negative response rates (dissatisfied and very dissatisfied), are considered to be areas that we need to supplement further in the future. As society develops rapidly, the system needs to be supplemented accordingly, and policy improvement efforts are needed for items with high negative responses as a result of the survey.

In this study, we used marine environment assessment indices to evaluate impacts of various development projects on the marine environment. TheWaterQuality Index (WQI) was applied in the field of marine water quality and the Cleanup Index of Harmful Chemicals (CIHC), the Cleanup Index of Eutrophication (CIET), the Enrichment Factor(EF) were used in the field of marine sediment. In the field of marine benthic organisms, the Benthic Health Index (BHI) and the Benthic Pollution Index (BPI) were utilized. Each assessment index was calculated using the data observed in the development project, and its characteristics and usefulness were evaluated. The assessment method and criteria were clearly defined for WQI, CIHC, and BHI. Furthermore, through these indices, an integrated environment impact analysis was possible. Apart from the indices presented in this study, there are various indices that can be used for evaluating the marine environment. Therefore, it is important to utilize appropriate indices according to the characteristics of each project.

An offshore waste disposal facility refers to a landfill site for final landfilling of stabilized inorganic solid waste such as land and marine waste incineration materials, and the aim of such a facility is to solve the problem of insufficient waste disposal space on land and create and develop environmentally friendly marine spaces. The purpose of this study is to prepare guidelines for the construction of offshore waste disposal facilities, which reflect the need and importance of paying sufficient heed to environmental considerations from the initial stage of the project, in order to investigate, predict, and assess how such guidelines will affect the marine environment in relation to the construction of offshore waste disposal facilities, with the goal of minimizing the impact on and damage to the environment. For the purpose of this research, guidelines focusing on the construction of offshore waste disposal facilities were derived through an analysis of domestic cases and similar foreign cases and an assessment of their level of compliance with existing EIA guidelines through the operation of a discussion forum. In order to review the EIA report on similar cases in Korea, 17 EIA documents (2005~2016) for dredged soil dumping areas and ash ponds of thermal power plants were analyzed to investigate the status of marine organisms, marine physics, marine water quality, and marine sediment and to understand what types of problems can occur and what improvement measures can be taken. The purpose of these guidelines were to minimize damage to the marine environment by promoting EIA protocols in accordance with scientific and systematic procedures, to reduce the consultation period related to projects, to resolve social conflicts, and to reduce economic costs.

Kori unit 1, the oldest commercial nuclear power plant in South Korea, was permanently shut down in June 2017. There are a lot of things to consider in decommissioning nuclear power plants, and one of them is the radiological environmental impact assessment. Performed to promote the health and safety of residents around the nuclear power plant, radiological environmental impact assessment aims to confirm that off-site radiological dose from radioactive material released from the facility does not exceed the regulatory criteria. There are three main parts of environmental impact assessment: pre-decommissioning environmental monitoring, environmental monitoring during decommissioning, and impact on nearby residents. At present, although the Korea Nuclear Safety Act stipulates that radiological environmental impact assessment resulting from decommissioning should be carried out, the details have not been specified. Therefore, this paper compares and analyzes guidelines for evaluation of radiological environmental impacts of nuclear power plants overseas, and presents a draft on the assessment of radiological dose resulting from decommissioning according to the Korean situation.
