ASTM 규격을 통한 국내 부지조사 기법 개발

The Environmental Site Assessment System(ESAS) in Korea which became effective as of 2002 is very similar to the ASTM standard practice in United States. Unlike the United States, however, we do not have Phase I ESA, enough environmental professionals with approved training and practical experiences, and detailed guidelines for a governmental action. As a result of comparison the ESAS with the ASTM standard practice, the ASTM standard practice is focused on the Innocent Landowner Defense and has a difference in data search process as well as legal and methodological ways from the ESAS. Therefore, the Transaction Screen Process in ASTM E-1528 standard practice is suggested to reduce the risk potentially produced under on-site assessment and to achieve efficient on-site assessment. In addition, social and executive supports are discussed to more activate on-site assessment. In near future this study is expected to be standardized more in detail with activation of on-site assessment and it is also expected to increase the role and responsibility of environmental professionals considerably.
