경기도 여주군의 R골프장에서 페어웨이 건설 시 토양조사 및 적절한 토양개량이 실시되지 않아 배수불량 지역이 발생하였다. 2003년과 2008년에 토양물리 화학성검사를 실시하여 배수불량의 원인 분석과 토양개량 실시여부에 대한 배수능력 개선 결과와 토양물리성 변화에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 배수불량지역은 분석결과 표토 5 cm~8 cm 구간이 토양 경화로 인해 토양 물리성이 악화되어 약 3,000 Kpa의 높은 경도를 보였고, 그에 따른 낮은 투수율에 의해 토양 하부층으로의 배수능력이 저조하여 배수 불량의 직접 원인이 되어있었다. 반면 토양갱신구역은 토양 경도가 양호하며 깊이에 큰 영향 없이 1,500 Kpa 이하로 대체적으로 균일한 것으로 나타났다. 토양수분을 측정한 결과도 비슷한 경향을 보였는데 배수불량지역은 토양하부 5~15 cm 지역은 20~30%의 수분량을 보인 반면 토양개량이 성공한 지역은 8~12%의 이상적인 수분분포를 보였다. 또 토양개량을 실시한 지역이더라도 식재된 보식용 잔디의 식재층에 실트와 점토가 많이 함유되어 이식 지역의 토양과 식재층이 다르면 이식 후 토양층에 이질층이 형성되어 수분의 이동이 원활하지 못해 배수 불량의 원인이 되었다. 배수불량으로 인해 토양 내 토양이 환원 상태가 되면서 혐기성 미생물의 생육이 증가하고, 메탄가스가 55 ppm 정도로 축적되고 토양의 공기순환이 자유롭지 못해 식재된 잔디의 뿌리 생장에 악영향을 주어 결과적으로 잔디 생육이 불량하게 되는 연쇄적인 문제가 발생하였다.

Large amount of sludge have been generating in the process of water and wastewater treatment in urban area, and it has been making many environmental problems. Currently almost of sludge is landfilled, and since sludge is difficult to handle and dehydrate, the permeated water from the filled-in ground contaminate the surrounding soil and groundwater which may cause serious environmental and sociological problems. The organic component in sludge can be almost removed through the heat treatment process, and the final product is called artificial soil or artificial media according to the temperature control. To produce artificial media using sludge, chabazite and lime were used as an additive, and the mixture of sludge & additives was thermally treated in the firing kiln at about 800~1, 100。C for about fifteen minutes. The physical and chemical characteristics of the produced artificial media were analyzed, and it showed that it can be used as an artificial media for plant production or soil conditioner for farmland. The concentrations of the toxic heavy metals in the artificial media were lower than the soil quality standard for farmland. The characteristics of produced artificial media, using the mixture of sludge and additives through the heat treatment, is similar to the natural chabazite and soil. The analyzed result of the mineral composition of artificial media showed that it has a characteristics similar to natural stable soil, so the produced artificial media may be applied to farmland or water culture without causing adverse effect. Therefore this study showed that the above process can be a feasible alternative for sludge treatment.

Soil and groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbon products is only one of many environmental problems in Korea. However, many environmental consulting companies have been targeted their business on this subject because the petroleum-oil-lubricant (POL) products have been widely used product and accidental releases of the products from storages resulted numerous small and large contaminated sites throughout Korea. Therefore, many small and large companies are actively participating in environmental assessment and remediation projects for the POL contaminated sites. Remedial technologies for the POL contaminated sites have been developed for many years by government and private institutions throughout the world. Development of a new decontamination technology for the POL contaminated sites is no longer attractive issue in research community because scientific bases of most cost-effective remedial technologies are well understood and have been used in the field by commercial sector. Numerous sites contaminated by underground tanks at gas stations have been remediated by relatively small companies in this country. We should appreciate their noticeable contributions as a frontier under very difficult market environment in Korea. We heard many successful stories as well as a few failure stories. Soil-groundwater remediation of POL contaminated site is not a simple task as shown in the text books or protocols. Therefore, failure risk is always with us, which requires continuous efforts for improvement of the technologies by the users and developers. In this presentation, author will discuss technical problems encountered and improvement made during implementation of several remedial technologies applied by Samsung Environmental Team. This is not a presentation about research or case study. We want to share our thought and experience with environmental engineers actively engaged in soil and groundwater remediation projects in Korea.

In the soil washing process, the contaminants are usually removed by abrasion from soil particles using mechanical energy and water However, organic contaminants with low water solubility like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are remained on soil particles. Previous studies have shown that surfactant possessing amphipathic activity enhances the solubility of organic materials. For this reason solutions with surfactants have been used to improve removal of organic contaminants on soil washing process. But, in this manner, many problems were found like complete loss of surfactants and additional contamination by surfactant. The remediation method using microemulsion has been introduced to overcome these disadvantages. In this case, surfactants are recycled by phase separation of microemulsion after remediation. In microemulsion process, the surfactant will be recycled by phase separation of the microemulsion into a surfactant-rich aqueous phase and an oil phase after extraction. That is why remediation concept applying microemulsion as washing media has been Introduced. Suitable microemulsion have to be used in order to have the chance of refilling the soil after decontamination and to avoid any risk due to toxicity. The purpose of this research is to evaluate effect of microemulsion to remediation of contaminated soil. We performed test with various organic contaminants like Pyrene and BTEX, also compared efficiency of remediation in microemulsion process with soil washing

South Dakota is an important agricultural state in the United States with annual cash receipts from agricultural products exceeding $9 billion dollars. This production is possible because of large areas of productive soils. This publication describes the general characteristics and qualities of the major soil groups recognized in South Dakota. The soil forming factors are briefly described, soil classification is introduced, and the genesis of typical Udalf and Ustoll soils are discussed. Soil management issues impacting the use of SD soils are considered. Long-term (>70 yrs) cultivation has significantly reduced surface soil organic carbon levels (>30% reduction) when compared to non-cultivated soil. Soil test phosphorus levels significantly increased in cultivated fields due to commercial P fertilization. The major long-term production problems for SD soils are conservation of soil moisture, organic matter and nitrogen losses, fertility management, and wind and water erosion control.

Seismic analyses of a pile under a large rigid basement foundation embedded in the homogeneous soil layer were performed practically by a response displacement method assuming a sinusoidal wave form. However, it is hard to take into account the characteristics of a large mat foundation and a heterogeneous soil layer with the response displacement method. The response displacement method is relevant to the 2D problems for longitudinal structures such as tunnel, underground cave structure, etc., but might not be relevant with isolated foundations for building structures. In this study, seismic pile analysis by a pseudo 3D finite element method was carried out to compare numerical results with results of the response displacement method considering 3D characteristics of a foundation-soil system which is important for the building foundation analyses. Study results show that seismic analyses results of a response displacement method are similar to those of a pseudo 3D numerical method for stiff and dense soil layers, but they are too conservative for a soft soil layer inducing large soil pressures on the foundation wall and large pile displacements due to ignored foundation rigidity and resistance.

Soil-borne diseases are the major problems in mono cropping. A mixture (designated LTM-m) composed of agricultural wastes and a beneficial microorganism Streptomyces saraceticus SS31 was used as soil amendments to evaluate its efficacy for managing Rhizoctonia solani and root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita). In vitro antagonistic assays revealed that SS31 spore suspensions and culture broths effectively suppressed the growth of R. solani, reduced nematode egg hatching, and increased juvenile mortality. Assays using two Petri dishes revealed that LTM-m produced volatile compounds to inhibit the growth of R. solani and cause mortality to the root knot nematode eggs and juveniles. Pot and greenhouse tests showed that application of 0.08% LTM-m could achieve a great reduction of both diseases and significantly increase plant fresh weight. Greenhouse trials revealed that application of LTM-m could change soil properties, including soil pH value, electric conductivity, and soil organic matter. Our results indicate that application of LTM-m bio-organic amendments could effectively manage soil-borne pathogens.

Deep soil mixing, DSM technique has been widely used to improve the engineering properties of problematic soils. Due to growing urbanization and the industrial developments, disposal of brick dust poses a big problem and causes environmental problems. This study aims to use brick dust in DSM application in order to minimize the waste in brick industry and to evaluate its effect on the improvement of the geotechnical properties. Three different percentages of cement content: (10, 15 and 20%) were used in the formation of soil-cement mixture. Unlike the other studies in the literature, various percentages of waste brick dust: (10, 20 and 30%) were used as partial replacement of cement in soil-cement mixture. The results indicated that addition of waste brick dust into soil-cement mixture had positive effect on the inherent strength and stiffness of loose sand. Cement replaced by 20% of brick dust gave the best results and reduced the final setting time of cement and resulted in an increase in unconfined compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and resilient modulus of sand mixed with cement and brick dust. The findings were also supported by the microscopic images of the specimens with different percentages of waste brick dust and it was observed that waste brick dust caused an increase in the interlocking between the particles and resulted in an increase in soil strength. Using waste brick dust as a replacement material seems to be promising for improving the geotechnical properties of loose sand.

수년간 고추를 연작한 비닐하우스에서는 연작 또는 염류집적에 따른 수량감소가 현저하게 나타난다. 고추의 수량감소를 줄이면서 설치한 비닐하우스의 사용연한을 연장시킬 수 있는 수단으로 기존 토양에 왕겨를 혼합한 소토양관비재배의 가능성을 검토하였다. 소토양관비재배 시험구에서는 관행재배 시험구에 비하여 토양 EC가 $4dS\;m^{-1}$ 이하로 낮아졌으며 두 재배방법 사이에 지상부 생육의 차이는 크지 않았으나 뿌리의 발달은 소토양관비재배 시험구에서 현저히 좋았다. 특히 소토양관비재배 시험구에서는 잔뿌리의 발달이 많았으며 관행재배 시험구에서는 뿌리 양이 적을 뿐만 아니라 굵은 뿌리가 많이 발생되었다. 풋고추 수량은 소토양관비재배 시험구에서 43% 정도 증가되었는데, 이는 소토양관비재배 시험구에서의 양호한 뿌리 발달이 양분흡수에 기여하였고 결과적으로 수량 증대로 이어진 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문은 초기 단계의 연구결과이며, 소토양관비재배방법이 연작 토양 시설물의 이용효율을 극대화할 수 있는 방법의 하나로 그 가능성을 제시하였을 뿐이다. 소토양관비재배방법의 실용화를 위해서는 보다 구체적인 연구가 더 진행되어야 할 것이다.
