Abstract

The sediment makes up the sea floor and plays an important role as a habitats for living things in the sea. However, pollution of coastal sediment due to internal and external factors such as inflow of contaminants from land and self-pollution becoming more serious, the needs for management of sediment that play an important role in ecology, is increasing. In particular, the review and evaluation of the effects of sediment in marine development projects including reclamation and dredging, have significance in terms of proactive protection and management of surrounding ecosystems. This study proposed the improvement measures for marine sediment management standards on the sea area utilization consultation for the development of public water. For the purpose, The evaluation and management standards of domestic and overseas marine sediments were reviewed and compared. The sediment environment guidelines under the Marine Environment Management Act of Korea were reviewed. Accordingly, the cases of Canada and NOAA, which have various evaluation standards consist of comprehensive factors, were analyzed. For analysis of operational cases, the port and fishing port development projects for the last five years (2016-2020) that are considered to have the greatest impact on sediments among the sea area use consultations were also reviewed. Finally, this study suggested that the assessment factors for ecological hazards and potential human risks should be considered in the sediment environmental standards in the sea area utilization consultation system.

해양의 퇴적물은 해저면을 구성하여 생물 서식지로 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나, 육상으로부터의 오염물 유입, 자가 오염 등의 내외부적 요인에 의한 오염은 점차 심각해지고 있어 생태학적으로 중요한 역할을 하는 퇴적물 관리에 대한 필요성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 특히, 매립과 준설이 포함된 개발 사업에서의 퇴적물 영향에 대한 검토와 평가는 주변 생태계에 대한 사전적 보호와 관리의 측면에서 큰 의미를 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 공유수면개발 행위에 대한 해역이용협의서 중의 해양 퇴적물 평가의 지표가 되는 퇴적물 관리 기준에 대한 개선 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내외의 해양퇴적물 평가 및 관리기준을 비교검토 하였다. 국내의 경우, 해양환경관리법에 적시된 관련 기준을 대상으로 하였다. 동시에 비교적 다양한 요소로 구성된 평가기준을 보유한 캐나다와 NOAA사례를 분석하였다. 또한 실제 평가기준 적용 및 운영 사례 분석을 위해 해역이용협의서 중 해저 퇴적물에 가장 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되는 최근 5년간(2016-2020)의 항만 및 어항개발 사업 사례를 분석하였다. 특히, 일반해역이용협의서 중 퇴적물의 평가 단계에서의 기준과 평가 요소 등을 분석하였다. 고찰과 분석을 통해 해역이용협의서 중 현재의 퇴적물 환경기준에 생태 위해성과 잠재적 인체 위해성에 대한 평가 요소를 고려할 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.
