The objective of this study was to test the non-point source pollution (NPS) control by the vegetated ridge and silt fence through field monitoring. The experiment plots were established with three sizes which are 5 m width by 22 m length with 8 %, 3 % slope and 15m width by 15 m length with 6 % slope. Flumes with the floating type stage gages were installed at the outlet of each plot to monitor the runoff. For a rainfall monitoring, tipping bucket rain gage was installed within the experiment site. Water quality samples were monitored during the heavy rainfall occurred. The amount of rainfall from 4 monitored events ranged from 27.6 mm to 130 mm. The runoff reduction rate could vary depending on slope, soil, crop growth condition, rainfall amount, rainfall intensity, antecedent moisture condition, and many other factors. The runoff from vegetated ridge and silt fence treatment plots was 24.05 % and -8.28 % lower than that from control plot, respectively. The monitoring results showed that the average pollution loads reduced by vegetated ridge compared to control were BOD 36.62~53.60 %, SS 40.41~73.71 %, COD 39.34~56.41 %, DOC 49.08~53.67 %, TN 26.74~67.23 %, and TP 52.72~91.80 %; by silt fence compared to control were SS 41.73 %, COD 1.93 %, and TN 2.38 %. The paired t-test result indicated that the vegetated ridge and silt fence were statistically significant effect in SS load reduction, with a 5 % significant level. Monitored results indicated that vegetated ridge and silt fence were both effective to reduce the pollutant from the field surface runoff.

The objective of this study was to test the pollutant reduction effect by the silt fence and vegetated ridge through field monitoring. The experiment plots were established with two replication and three treatments. Each plot was designed with 5 m width, 22 m length, and 3 % slope. Flumes with the floating type stage gages were installed at the outlet of each plot to monitor the runoff. For a rainfall monitoring, tipping bucket rain gage was installed within the experiment site. Cultivated crops were spring daikon and autumn chinese cabbage. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the water quality concentration from three experiment plots were not significantly different in 5 % of significant level. The monitoring results showed that the average pollution loads reduced by silt fence compared to control were SS 75.33 %, TN 40.87 %, TP 56.58 %, BOD 52.12 %, COD 36.07 %, TOC 34.99 %; by vegetated ridge compard to control were SS 65.27 %, TN 81.80 %, TP 54.26 %, BOD 67.09 %, COD 46.55 %, TOC 43.30 %. Analysis of Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed that BOD-SS and SS-Turbidity were highly related at the silt fence and vegetated ridge plots. In all plots, SS-Turbidity and TP-TN relations were relatively high. The monitoring results showed that the silt fence and vegetated ridge were effect method to reduce the pollutant loads from the field runoff. Long-term monitoring is required to obtain more quantitative reduction effect for diverse crops and to increase the reliability of results.

This study was conducted to investigate characteristics of the non-point source pollution under construction and evaluate available pollution control methods. Suspended solid loading is high when soil disturbs by rainfall and this phenomenon is much more severe at the initial stage of construction than at the final one. There are three methods available for erosion and sediment control, which are check dam, silt fence, and geotextile. Check dam and silt fence are for control of suspense solids and geotextile is for preventing soil erosion during rainfall. They can be installed as temporary control facilities at construction sites. From the comparison of those methods, it was found that geotextile method was the most efficient for the runoff control of non-point source pollution. Check dam and silt fence can remove suspense solids by pore spaces to some degree, but the removal of pollutants mainly occurs through sedimentation. Because the temporary control facilities have limited removal efficiency of pollutant, they often cause civil claims and contamination of water environment. Hence, using a pressurized filtration system along with temporary control facilities, highly enhanced treatment efficiency was anticipated. In addition, the loading capacity of these techniques depends on filtration velocity and input loading. And their pre-treatments are necessary for efficient operation.

오염물질은 배출원의 형태에 따라 점오염물질과 비점오염물질로 구분하고 있고 점오염물질은 생활하수, 산업폐수, 축산폐수, 환경기초시설 방류수 등으로 발생원이 명확하고 수집하여 처리 및 관리가 용이하나 비점오염물질은 배출위치가 명확하지 않으며, 강우 시 일시적으로 대량 배출되는 특징을 가진 농경지, 도로, 대지, 임야 등에서 배출되는 오염물질을 말한다. 우리나라에서 비점오염은 전체 수질오염의 42~67%(2003년)를 차지하는 것으로 나타났고, 2015년에는 전체 수질오염의 65~75%에 이를 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이 중 농업 비점오염원은 총 수질 오염량의 30%이상을 차지할 것으로 추정하고 있으나 이를 저감하기 위한 최적관리방법의 효과검증에 관한 연구는 아직 미미한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농경지 중 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염을 저감하기 위한 기법으로 다양한 규모와 형태의 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구를 설치하여 밭 비점오염에 대한 저감효과를 평가하고 제어대책을 개발하여 최적관리기법을 제시하고 이에 대한 매뉴얼을 개발하기 위한 기초연구를 실시하려 한다. Silt Fence는 주로 건설공사현장에서 홍수유출 발생 시 인접한 하천 및 호소 등으로 유사 및 오염물질이 유입되는 것을 방지하기 위해 임시적으로 설치하는 시설로 합성 직물 필터를 나무나 금속 막대로 연결하여 등고선 방향으로 설치하는 것으로 대상 지역의 토양이 교란되기 전에 그 지역 아래쪽에 설치한다. 식생밭두렁은 밭의 이랑의 길이가 길어질수록 강우 시 빗물이 하단에 이를 때 늘어난 유량과 빠른 유속으로 토양침식이 가중되는데, 이때 30~35m간격으로 식생밭두렁을 설치하게 되면 상부와 하부의 침식정도가 유사한 경향을 보여 식생밭두렁을 설치하지 않은 지역에 비해 토양의 침식정도가 작게 나타나게 된다. 이러한 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구의 밭 비점오염의 저감효과 평가 및 제어대책 개발을 위한 기초 실험을 수행하기 위해 경상남도 사천시 용현면 선진리 일대에 시험포장을 조성 하였으며, 시험포장내에 6개의 Plot을 만들어 하단부에 포장에서의 유출수의 유량을 측정하기 위해 플룸을 설치하였고 실내실험을 통해 플룸의 수위-유량관계 곡선을 작성하였다. 포장의 토양특성을 판별하기 위해 Plot별로 토양시료를 채취하여 특성을 분석 한 결과 6개 Plot모두 모래함량이 많은 점토질 사질토로 분류되었다. 향후 강우 시 시험포장에서 발생하는 유출수의 수질을 분석하고 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구의 오염물질 저감효과를 분석하여 제어대책을 개발하게 되면 농업수자원확보를 위한 관리방안 선정을 위한 정책수립에 활용될 수 있으며 비점오염 배출을 최소화시켜 수질의 개선에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 우리나라 농업에 적합한 최적영농관리기술을 개발 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Artificial structures have been designed as pilot structures to promote the creation and restoration of tidal flats. However, little information is available as to whether such artificial construction affects the macrobenthic community structure. We monitored the variation of the macrobenthic community structure and species composition near natural and artificial structures (seaweed and a timber fence) on the tidal flats near the Iwon Dike, Korea. In total, 137 macrobenthic species were recorded during this study, predominantly crustaceans (47%), polychaetes (18%), and molluscs (27%). Polychaetes comprised over 50% of the total density, followed by gastropods (38%) and crustaceans (11%). Macrobenthic species composition in the artificial and natural areas, was initially similar, but it differed after 7 months. The gastropod Umbonium thomasi, the most dominant species, was present at both sites in the first month after the start of the experiment, but disappeared at the artificial sites within 7 months, suggesting disturbance by the environmental factors. The number of species and diversity (H') varied significantly within sites at the beginning of the experiment, but no difference was observed after 7 months. Multivariate analysis (multidimensional scaling) revealed significant differences in community structure between the artificial and the natural areas from 7 months after the start of the experiment, except from 18 to 21 months. The community structures were mainly influenced by U. thomasi. Community structure at the artificial sites was affected by environmental variables, such as carbon, COD/IL sulfide, loss of ignition, kurtosis and silt, which changed over time. We observed no significant correlations between environmental variables and the dominant species, except in the case of Spio sp. and Macrophthalmus dilatatus, suggesting that the biological interactions and temporary disturbances such as typhoon, as well as the effects of artificial structures may also be important regulating factors in this system.

This study was attempted to find out the value of cultural assets through the clear diagnosis and prescription of the dead and weakness factors of the Population of Retusa Fringe Trees in Pyeongji-ri, Jinan(Natural Monument No. 214), The results are as follows. First, Since the designation of 13 natural monuments in 1968, since 1973, many years have passed since then. In particular, despite the removal of some of the buried soil during the maintenance process, such as retreating from the fence of the primary school after 2010, Second, The first and third surviving tree of the designated trees also have many branches that are dead, the leaves are dull, and the amount of leaves is small. vitality of tree is 'extremely bad', and the first branch has already been faded by a large number of branches, and the amount of leaves is considerably low this year, so that only two flowers are bloomed. The second is also in a 'bad'state, with small leaves, low leaf density, and deformed water. The largest number 1 in the world is added to the concern that the s coverd oil is assumed to be paddy soils. Third, It is found that the composition ratio of silt is high because it is known as '[silty loam(SiL)]'. In addition, the pH of the northern soil at pH 1 was 6.6, which was significantly different from that of the other soil. In addition, the organic matter content was higher than the appropriate range, which is considered to reflect the result of continuous application for protection management. Fourth, It is considered that the root cause of failure and growth of Jinan pyeongji-ri Population of Retusa Fringe Trees group is chronic syndrome of serious menstrual deterioration due to covered soil. This can also be attributed to the newly planted succession and to some of the deaths. Fifthly, It is urgent to gradually remove the subsoil part, which is estimated to be the cause of the initial damage. Above all, it is almost impossible to remove the coverd soil after grasping the details of the soil, such as clayey soil, which is buried in the rootstock. After removal of the coverd soil, a pestle is installed to improve the respiration of the roots and the ground with Masato. And the dead 4th dead wood and the 5th and 6th dead wood are the best, and the lower layer vegetation is mown. The viable neck should be removed from the upper surface, and the bark defect should undergo surgery and induce the development of blindness by vestibule below the growth point. Sixth, The underground roots should be identified to prepare a method to improve the decompression of the root and the respiration of the soil. It is induced by the shortening of rotten roots by tracing the first half of the rootstock to induce the generation of new roots. Seventh, We try mulching to suppress weed occurrence, trampling pressure, and soil moisturizing effect. In addition, consideration should be given to the fertilization of the foliar fertilizer, the injection of the nutrients, and the soil management of the inorganic fertilizer for the continuous nutrition supply. Future monitoring and forecasting plans should be developed to check for changes continuously.
