본 연구에서는 중금속의 생태독성자료를 통해 준설토의 육상 재활용을 위한 screening-level 생태위해도 평가를 수행하였다. 대상 중금속 6종(Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni)의 독성자료는 USEPA의 ECOTOX를 통해 수집하였으며, 선별과정을 거쳐 생태위해도 평가에 사용하였다. 각 중금속의 예측무영향농도는 독성자료의 획득이 가능한 육상 수용체의 종 수에 따라 확률론적 방법(Cu, Zn, Cd)과 결정론적 방법(Pb, Cr, Ni)을 통해 도출하였다. 현장 채취 준설토에서 발견되는 중금속 실제오염농도와 예측무영향농도와의 비교를 통해 생태위해도를 계산하였으며 Cu, Zn, Cr, Pb, Ni의 위해도가 1을 초과하여 생태독성학적 위해도가 존재할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 따라서 재활용 부지의 생태위해도를 고려하였을 때 해당 중금속 오염 준설토를 활용하기 위해서는 중금속 정화 또는 보다 높은 수준의 생태 위해도평가가 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Environmental standards for beneficial uses of dredged materials are proposed. Even though chemical analysis of ocean sediments are carried out frequently, their analyses results were not interrelated with the effects of biological lives due to a shortage of biological data. These facts have resulted in difficulty to develope Korean's standards of recycling dredged materials. This paper first searched existing current foreign standards, analyzed local contaminated ocean sediment data, identified their main chemical components of contaminants, and then compared with clean-up standards of sediments consisting of lower and higher levels. From these analysis, new environmental standards considering Korean domestic circumstances are proposed. It is judged that new standards are appropriate to both Korean national sedimental environments and economically recycling aspects because environmental standard levels proposed are higher than background levels of sediments in Korean and foreign standards.

Although the quantity of dredged soils has increased owing to recent new harbor construction, sea course management, polluted sediment dredging, and four-river project, the reuse or recycling of those dredged soils has not done properly in Korea. To develop measures to utilize them in various ways for reuse or recycling, the biophysicochemical properties of dredged soils and sediment were assessed in this study. Samples were classified according to their sources-river and sea-by location, and as dredged soil and sediment depending on storage time. The results showed that dredged materials from the sea have high clay content and can be used for making bricks, tiles, and lightweight backfill materials, while dredged materials from the river have high sand content and can be used in sand aggregates. Separation procedures, depending on the intended application, should be carried out because all dredged materials are poorly sorted. All dredged soils and sediments have high salinity, and hence, salts should be removed before use for cultivation. Since dredged materials from the sea have adequate concentrations of nutrients, except phosphate, they can be used for creating and restoring coastal habitats without carrying out any additional removal processes. The high overall microbial activities in dredged materials from the river suggested that active degradation of organic matter, circulation of nutrients, and provision of nutrients may occur if these dredged materials are used for cultivation purpose.
