Abstract

Environmental impact assessment has been implemented for more than 30 years in Korea. During that period, various amendments were carried out about target plan and assessment factors. However, in current environmental impact assessment act, only a few factors has been considered for soil environment assessment. This study analyzes the national and foreign environmental impact assessment guidelines on soil related factors and figures out the problems and implications of Korean environmental impact assessment. In Korea, water quality, topography and geology, hydraulics and hydrology, and soil contamination were analyzed as a soil related factors. The main assessment targets were pollution related factors such as soil pollution levels, amount of rainfall runoff, and non-point sources. However, in the case of foreign guidelines, soil compaction, soil sealing, and soil salinization is being analyzed for evaluating function and quality of soil environment. The revision of soil-related factors are needed for sustainable development of Korea.

우리나라는 약 30년 간 환경영향평가가 시행되고 있으며 이 기간 동안 환경영향평가의 대상 사업 및 평가 항목 등에 대한 다양한 개정이 수행되었다. 하지만 현행 환경영향평가법 상의 토양 관련 평가 항목은 토양 환경의 일부분에 국한하여 고려되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 환경영향평가 지침을 분석하여 토양 관련 평가 항목을 분석하였으며 해외의 환경영향평가제도 내 토양 관련 평가항목을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 국내 환경영향평가 제도에서 토양 환경 평가의 문제점과 시사점을 도출하였다. 우리나라의 경우 환경영향평가 제도 내의 수질, 토양, 지형 지질, 수리 수문 평가 항목에서 토양과 관련된 인자를 분석하고 있다. 그 대상은 토양 오염도, 비옥토, 우수유출량, 비점오염원 등 주로 오염과 관련한 인자이다. 하지만 해외의 경우 토양 압밀, 토양 밀폐, 토양 염류화 등 토양의 기능 및 질과 연관된 항목을 분석 중에 있다. 우리나라 국토의 지속가능한 개발을 위하여 해외의 경우와 마찬가지로 토양 관련 평가 인자를 개정할 필요가 있다.
