This survey was conducted to promote the environment-friendly use and recycling of livestock feces by obtaining information about the current state of livestock feces composts manufactured in Gyeonggi Province. Therefore, some aspects of quality and manufacturing techniques of livestock feces composts (LFCs) were examined especially in relation to the LFCs quality standard (LQS). By surveying the 70 composting plants in Gyeonggi Province, the total commercial production of LFCs in 2008 was estimated to be about $480,000Mg\;year^{-1}$ and they were manufactured mainly by using both mechanical mixer and bottom air blower. LFCs were composed mainly of chicken feces 29.2%, pig+chicken feces 23.1%, pig feces 20.0%, livestock feces+oil cake 12.3%, pig+chicken+cattle feces 10.8% and pig+cattle feces 4.6%. On the basis of the current official standard which was revised on March 2010, 11 composts out of surveyed 76 ones did not meet the LQS due to inadequate content of water (5), OM/N (1), NaCl (2) and Zn (3). The satisfaction rate to LQS by manufacturers was 100% in the composts produced by farmer's cooperative societies, 80.7% by civil factories, and 44.4% by farming guilds, respectively. The OM/N declined by adding chicken feces and oil cake, while Ca content was increased by the addition of chicken feces and NaCl was increased by adding cattle feces.

토양의 질(Soil Quality)에 대한 개념은 과거 식량생산을 위한 기반으로서의 토양에 대한 연구부터 1970년대 후반 Warkentin and fletcher(1977)에 의해 제안된 환경의 구성 요소로서의 토양에 대한 연구에 이르기까지 수많은 변화를 거쳐 왔다. 토양의 질에 대한 개념은 그 관점에 따라 다르지만 토양이 본래의 기능을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 용량으로 요약할 수 있다. 국제경제협력개발기구(OECD)에서도 토양의 질을 농업환경의 주요지표로 설정하여 토양유실과 토양탄소를 토양질 평가의 세부지표로 제시하였으며, 각 국가별로 활발한 연구가 수행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 제안된 토양질의 주요 개념을 살펴보고 국내외의 토양질 평가체계를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 토양질의 평가 체계는 최소자료군(Minimum Data Set)을 이용한 토양질 지표의 선정, 선별된 지표의 표준점수화함수(Standard Scoring Function), 각 지표의 통합을 통한 토양질의 점수화의 세 단계로 구분하여 분석하였다. 토양의 질 지표는 물리 화학 생물학적 지표로 분류할 수 있으며, 이 중 토양침식, 전용적밀도, 토심, 입단안정화도, 토성, 수분보유력, 유효수분함량은 물리적 질 지표로 주로 사용된다. 화학적 질 지표로는 유기물, pH, 전기전도도, 질소 인산 가리, 중금속 등이 있고, 생물학적 지표로는 미생물탄소 질소, 무기화 가능한 질소, 토양호흡이 주로 사용된다. 또한, 토양질 지표의 직접적인 측정이 어려운 경우에는 토양특성 환산식(Pedotransfer Function)을 이용하여 각 지표의 값을 추정할 수 있다. 현재 선진국에서는 SINDY를 비롯한 다양한 프로그램을 구축하고 있으며, 국내에서도 국가적인 차원의 자료구축을 통해 선별된 최소자료군의 계량화모델을 확립하여 웹기반의 프로그램을 구축해야 할 것이다. 현재까지 토양질의 계량화에 대한 연구는 주로 작물의 수량을 중심으로 이루어졌지만 향후 지속가능한 토양환경의 관리를 위해서는 환경의 질과 인간의 건강을 종합적으로 고려한 토양의 질 지표 개발에 대한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

'Campbell Early', a major grape cultivar, occupies more than 70% of cultivated vineyard areas, however, recommendable standard management system of soil environmental conditions has not been developed yet in Korea. The consideration for the correlation between fruit quality and soil condition in the vineyard is required in the efficient management system of soil. This study was carried out to investigate the optimum soil environmental conditions for 'Campbell Early' grape production with high quality. The results from analyses of correlation between them were used to develop soil management guideline for promoting efficiency in grape production. Soil properties were analyzed from 120 vineyards in Hawsung, Sangju, Yeongdong, Gimcheon, Yeongju, and Yeongwol, major grape production regions. Because there is neither coloring disorder nor delayed coloration in grape production of 'Campbell Early', relative contribution of soil hardness and solid phase to fruit quality and fruit weight was analyzed. Among the soil properties, while cation and soil hardness affected sugar content at the level of 39.3% and 36.8%, respectively, saturated hydraulic conductivity, solid phase, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) showed relatively low contribution to sugar content in the vineyard. The sugar content in grapes was influenced more critically by the chemical properties than the physical ones in the soil of vineyards. While soil hardness and solid phase affected grape weight at the level of 27.8% and 26.0%, respectively, phosphate content, organic matter content, and cation showed low contribution to grape weight. Grape guality such as sugar content and grape weight was affected highly by cation and organic matters. Therefore, cation and organic matter content of soil contributed to fruit quality at the level of 33.8% and 15.5%, respectively, in the vineyard.

낙동강 유역 농업지대에서 영농활동에 따른 토양과 수질을 평가하기 위하여 전형적인 논과 밭농사를 중심으로 한 영주 고령 밀양지역, 과수원이 형성되어 있는 임고천 유역, 그리고 시설 재배지인 하빈천 유역을 대상으로 1995년 7월부터 1999년 7월까지 각 소하천 주변의 토양과 수질을 조사하였다. 영농형태에 따라 토양중 유효인산의 함량은 현저한 차이가 있었는데, 밭토양과 시설재배지 토양이 다른 토양에 비하여 월등히 높았고, 총질소 함량은 과수원 토얌이 약간 높았을 뿐 대부분의 토양이 비슷한 수준이었다. 소하천변로 수질을 평가해 보면, 다른 유역에 비하여 논농사 유역의 수질이 양호하였으나, 과수원이 형성되어 있는 임고천의 경우 질소의 함량이 높았으며, 시설재배지인 하빈천의 경우에는 상대적으로 염류의 함량이 높았다. 이는 유역내 축산폐수나 생활하수의 유입, 농경지의 과다한 화학비료와 퇴비의 시용으로 생각되며, 낙동강의 수질 본전을 위해 이들 소하천에 대한 농업비점오염원에 대한 적절한 토양 및 수질관리가 선행 할 것 이다.

The management standard on soil conditions in 'Fuji' apple to produce high quality fruit were not yet made. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the optimum soil environmental conditions of ten contents on production of high quality fruit in 'Fuji' apple. The soil and fruit characteristics were analyzed at total 60 orchards in major apple producing areas such as Chungju, Moonkyeung, yeongju, andong, yeosan and yeongcheon (10 orchards an area). The soil environmental factors affected fruit weight was highest relative contribution in saturated hydraulic conductivity of 36.5%. The bulk density and soil pH were low as relative contribution. The fruit weight was influenced by soil physical properties more than soil chemical properties. The soil environmental factors affected sugar content were hydraulic conductivity of 28.3% and organic matter content of 18.2%. The cultivation layer depth and soil pH were low as relative contribution. The fruit coloring was highest relative contribution in saturated hydraulic conductivity 55.9%. while soil pH, cation and soil texture were low. Fruit coloring was high influenced over 70% by soil physical properties. Finally, relative contribution on fruit quality related with sugar content, fruit weight, and coloring were high influenced by saturated hydraulic conductivity of 21.% and organic matter content of 18.7% but bulk density and cultivation layer depth were low relative contribution. The fruit growth and saturated hydraulic conductivity in 'Fuji' apple were very closely related. Therefore, orchard soil management to produce high quality fruit was very importance drainage management and organic matter application. We concluded that scientific soil management is possible by qualifiable of soil management factors.

Manure recycling as fertilizer is one of solutions for the environmental problem related with livestock manure treatment as well as the ocean dumping ban act prohibiting manure disposal to the ocean. For the manure disposal, forest area can be a candidate place because the area has a wide range of applicable sites. However, the manure application to the forest has a possibility of causing environmental impacts including water quality problems due to nutrient loading. Therefore it is necessary to investigate water quality impact from manure disposal to the forestry plantation. In this study, ground and soil water quality had been monitored in the bio-circulation experimental forest where low concentration liquid manure (LCLM) was applied. Soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed weekly from April to October in 2008 and 2009. The mean and variation of NO3-N concentration in soil water of LCLM treatment places showed higher concentration than the reference places declining during growing season. In the case of groundwater from monitoring well in the downstream of disposal site, the $NO_3$-N concentration was 3.59 mg/L in 2008 and 3.26 mg/L in 2009 in average showing higher concentration than the reference well although the concentration was not exceed the national drinking water standard. To investigate the source of nitrate, $\delta^{15}N$ isotope analysis was also implemented. Its result showed that the LCLM application could be the nitrate source requiring further long-term monitoring soil and water quality.

To data, there was no systematic basis for establishing the content and allowed levels of general contamination substances in the Korean groundwater quality standards for non-drinking water. Recently, use of specific procedures for deriving valid groundwater quality standards have become mandatory. This study first investigated the methodology for deriving groundwater quality standards in the European Commission (EC), considering background groundwater quality and domestic and international standards related to water quality. Furthermore, this study investigated the existing specified procedure of standards related to water quality (e.g. surface water, drinking water, and wastewater). Our findings showed that EC and Member States presented the methods for deriving groundwater threshold values for general chemicals. Finally, we have proposed the following procedures of deriving Korean groundwater quality: (1) Selection of groundwater pollutant population, (2) selection and monitoring of priority substances, (3) monitoring, (4) selection of groundwater quality standard candidates, (5) selection of new substances and values for groundwater quality standards.

In Korea, groundwater quality is monitored through National Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network (NGQMN) administered by Ministry of Environment. For a given contaminant, compliance to groundwater quality standards is assessed on a annual basis by monitoring the number of incidents that concentration exceeds the regulatory limit. However, this approach provides only a fractional information about groundwater quality degradation, and more crucial information such as location and severity of the contamination cannot be obtained. For better groundwater quality management on a watershed, a more spatially informative and intuitive method is required. This study presents two statistical methods to convert point-wise monitoring data into information on groundwater quality status of a watershed by using a proposed grading scale. The proposed grading system is based on readily available reference standards that classify the water quality into 4 grades. The methods were evaluated with NO₃^-, Cl^-, and total coliform data in Geum River basin. The analyses revealed that groundwater in most watersheds of Geum River basin is good for domestic or/and drinking with no treatment. But, there was notable quality degradation in Bunam seawall and So-oak downstream standard watersheds contaminated by NO₃^- and Cl^-, respectively.

The Korean groundwater law regulates 20 groundwater contamination parameters, including 14 specific harmful substances. Expanding the number of groundwater quality standards are needed to cope with recent groundwater quality deterioration due to the use of various chemicals. Chemical ranking and scoring system (CRS) is a scientific tool to sort priority chemicals by considering exposure and toxicity potentials. In this study, we developed a CRS for scoring and ranking of possible groundwater pollutants and screened priority substances to be later considered in the Korean standard expansion. Chemical Ranking Of groundWater pollutaNts (CROWN) incorporates important parameters consisting of exposure potential, human and water ecotoxicity, interests, and certainty. Furthermore, CROWN additionally evaluated existence of other media standards to consider impacts by contamination of other media. The 197 substances that were common to 9 countries were selected first. CROWN evaluated and ranked each chemical, and finally suggested priority substances. Suggested priority substances were classified into two groups according to the groundwater use purposes: drinking and non-drinking. The priority substances were further classified into $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ group priorities. The $1^{st}$ group consists of 75 substances, including the all the Korean groundwater standard parameters. CROWN will be used in selecting groundwater pollutants for possible inclusion in the Korean standard expansion.
