This study investigated the change of metal contamination levels according to amendment of enforcement regulation of the Soil Environmental Conservation Act in Korea. As an analytical result of 87 samples in abandoned metallic mine area, the extracted amount of As, Pb and Cu with aqua regia was 4.3~29.6 times higher than that with hydrochloric acid extraction and the number of samples, which contamination levels were found to exceed soil contamination standards, was also increased. On the other hand, in case of Cd, Zn, and Ni, the number of samples, which contamination levels were found to exceed soil contamination standards, was decreased or similar. These results can be used as a preliminary material in comparison between the soil pollution data accumulated previously and the data obtained by the revised standard method for the examination of soil pollution.

Environmental pollution is continuously increasing with the economic growth and industrial development. With this trend, soil and groundwater pollution problem has been surfaced as important social issues. Recently, Korean government promulgated the Soil Environment Conservation Act. But there are many problems to control sound soil quality management. Anthropogenic source of pollution such as waste landfill, pesticides, fertilizer, underground storage oil tanks is important as well as natural source such as acid rain and forest fire. The regulation should be expanded to include groundwater preservation as well as soil quality, because soil pollution is closely related to groundwater pollution. Therefore, legal regulations must be expanded to these facilities and take into account technical feasibility and finance.

This study selected a representative small arm firing range and analyzed the distribution of heavy metal pollutants such as Pb, Cu, Zn, etc. For this the concentrations of heavy metals in soils, roots and leaves of plants, and water of the small arm firing range were measured. The concentrations of heavy metals in the effluent were also checked during precipitation. The concentration of lead in the samples collected from the top soil(0-5 cm) and sub soil(5-50 cm) near the target in the small arm firing range exceeded the concern level of the Soil Environment Conservation Act of Korea, but not in other soil samples. Plants that grow in soil heavily contaminated with lead showed a high lead concentration, especially in roots. However, the concentration of lead in effluent from the small arm firing range was less than 0.02 ppm. The concentration of copper and zinc in the small arm firing range did not surpass the concern level of the Soil Environment Conservation Act of Korea. Through this study more accurate information on the distribution of heavy metal pollution in the soil of the small arm firing range was obtained. Based on this research, we can conclude that some facility improvements can reduce the spreading of pollutants in the currently used small arm firing range and contribute to the design and operation of advanced small arm firing ranges.

Before the EIA was established in the Federal Republic of Germany, the impact mitigation principle - a planning instrument, which has its legal foundation in the German nature conservation legislation already had {and still has} the function to valuate environmental impacts. The valuation principles and methods which have been developed in correlation to this instrument are now also used in the EIA. Particularly for the valuation of alternating effects on the different ecological landscape functions and for the valuation of ecological mitigation and compensation measures this valuation methods are used. These methods base on a special kind of modelling nature and environment Following the aim of the nature conservation act, which is to save the capacity of the landscape to perform its essential functions, not the ecological factors (soil, water, air etc.) itselfs are evaluated but the ecological functions of the landscape, which are based on the ecological factors.

Corylopsis coreana Uyeki is endemic species in the Korean peninsula and is designated a Category Endangered Plant Species by the Wildlife Protection Act of South Korea. We developed the plan and cooperative model within the local community for the species conservation. In order to carry out this plan we first investigated the ecological characteristics of the species. The species shows patterns of discontinuous distribution and is coupled with the unusual feature of only growing on northern exposed slopes. Although Corylopsis coreana is cut the stem every year, many new sprouts are still grown from the root. Natural germination of the seed occurs only on north-facing slopes, but not on south-facing slopes at spring. That is, the species is highly influenced by soil moisture until the seedling stage has been reached. This factor limits the distribution of the species. When saplings are planted on south-facing slopes, they grow well. The information we gathered greatly helped with efforts to draw up conservation plans. In addition, when the information was shared with the local community, builders and residents showed great interest and displayed a will to help with conservation efforts. Therefore, a cooperative model within the local community was drawn up for the conservation of the species. Accordingly this model could be applied at mitigation measure at environment impact assessment.

The legal basis for the systematic prevention and response to landslide hazards, and the rehabilitation of landslide-hit areas, was established through the amendment of the Forest Protection Act in August 2012. The most noticeable amendment to the Act is the inclusion of clauses associated with the designation and management of landslide-prone zones (including debris flow-prone zones). In this paper, we (1) introduce the clauses related to the designation and management of landslide-prone zones that were included in the amended Forest Protection Act, (2) examine their significance by reviewing the present status of related domestic laws and structural countermeasures such as sediment check dams for sediment-related disaster prevention, and (3) suggest the future directions of the procedure for the designation and cancellation of such zones, and their maintenance and institutional aspects. The establishment of an institutional device for the designation and management of landslide-prone zones has great significance in the aspect of (1) the establishment of a comprehensive management and prevention system for potential landslide-prone zones in forested areas where the hazard risk has been poorly recognized as compared with the flood risks in lowlands, and (2) the establishment of the basis for overcoming the limits of structural countermeasures according to limited budgets. To develop the designation and management system for landslide-prone zones, not only must present problems be addressed, but a cooperation system between the administration and local residents must also be established.

This study has focused on investigation on As and heavy metal contamination derived from metalliferous mining activities in the Choongbuk Province in Korea. Soil, mine effluent, surface water and ground water samples were taken in and around 27 abandoned metal mines, and analyzed for As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn using AAS and anions in water samples using IC. In general, the heavy metal concentrations in soils decreased with Increasing distance from the each mine audit. Tailings and mine waste soils from several mines contained over the guideline of Soil Conservation Act in Korea. Soil samples from the Seobo, Honga, Daehwa, Jeungjadong, Youngbo and Munbaek mines contained over the action levels of the metals due to intensive mining activities. Therefore, a proper remediation work needs to control the metal dispersion around the mines.

In general, plant roots accumulate more heavy metals than the above ground organs such as leaf, stem, and fruit. This implies that root medicinal plants would be an issue with excessive heavy metal accumulation. Therefore, the current study was carried out to investigate the distribution of heavy metal (focused on Cd and Pb) concentrations in soils and medicinal plant roots grown in different region of Korea. Total 293 samples for each soil and plant were collected along the national wide. Soil pH, total and phytoavailable metal concentrations (1 M $NH_4NO_3$ extracted) in soils were determined and heavy metal concentrations in root of the medicinal plants were analyzed. Heavy metal concentrations of the soil samples studied were not exceeded standard limits legislated in 'Soil Environmental Conservation Act', except 2 samples for Cu. However, substantial amount of Cd was accumulated in medicinal plant roots with 29% samples exceeding the standard limit legislated in 'Pharmaceutical Affairs Act' while all plant samples were lower than the standard limit value for Pb. Also the current study demonstrated that cadmium concentrations in the roots were governed by the phytoavailable Cd in soils, which decreased as soil pH increased. From this result, application of heavy metal immobilization technique using a pH change-induced immobilizing agents can be suggested for safer root medicinal plant production.

양액재배는 기존 비닐하우스 안의 토양재배 방식에서 물이나 배지에 작물을 심고 생육에 필요한 양분(비료)을 녹인 양액을 공급하여 재배하는 방식으로 기존 시설재배 방식에서 영농기술이 발전하여 양액재배는 작물의 생산성을 극대화할 수 있는 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 폐양액이 다량의 비료 물질을 함유하고 있기에 하천으로 유입되면 인근 하천을 오염시키며, 양액재배에 사용되고 폐기되는 폐배지, 폐작물의 처리에 대한 문제점을 제시하고 있다. 또한, 처리시 처리비용의 발생과 현재 국내 양액재배 농장의 대부분이 비순환식 양액재배 시스템을 사용하여 배출되는 양액의 잔여비료로 인한 환경오염 및 비료의 불필요한 과다 사용 문제점을 지적하는 선행연구를 바탕으로 사전조사와 실험을 진행하였다. 현재 양약재배 비순환식 시스템 재배방식 농장에서 발생하는 폐양액, 폐배지, 폐작물이 농장 주변 환경에 미치는 영향을 수질, 토양분석 결과 수치를 통해 규명하고자 현장자료 연구를 진행하였다. 현장 수질, 토양분석을 위해서 지역별 양액재배 5개 농가의 작형, 양액재배 시스템를 확인하였으며, 강원 C지역 토경재배 3개 농장의 작형, 양액재배 시스템 농장 현장을 방문하여 농장의 시설내·외부 수질, 토양 샘플을 채취하였다. 추가적으로 폐작물 야적지에서 발생되는 침출수 및 토양샘플을 채취하여 수질, 토양분석을 하였다. 연구 결과 비순환식 시스템 재배방식 농장에서 발생되는 폐양액의 평균 total nitrogen(TN) 농도는 402 mg/L 이였고, total phosphate(TP)의 경우 77.4mg/L 이였으며, 이는 환경정책기본법 시행령상 하천의 생활환경 TP기준 993.7배 초과한 수치였다. 또한, 물환경보전법의 산업폐수 배출기준 TN기준 6~19배, TP기준 2~27배 초과한 수치결과를 확인하였다. 폐작물 야적지에서 발생된 침출수의 경우 환경정책기본법 시행령상 하천의 생활환경 COD 기준 11,828배 초과, TP기준 395~2663배 초과한 수치이며, 물환경보전법의 산업폐수 배출기준 TN기준 788배, TP기준 5배 초과한 수치결과를 확인하였다. 비순환식 양액재배에서 발생하는 폐양액, 폐배지, 폐작물이 환경에 미치는 영향에 대한 더 정밀한 연구를 위해 전국 양액재배 농가수(호), 재배면적(ha)를 기준으로 하여 양액재배면적이 넓은 지역 도출해내어야 한다. 이를 통해 넓을 지역의 양액재배 시설 주변 소하천을 중심으로 계절적 요인, 기후 요인, 날씨 요인, 재배면적, 재배지역, 농가 재배특성 등의 다양한 요인을 고려한 수질 및 토양 샘플링 채취와 분석에 관한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
