Recently, It is increasing popularity to research on the soil remediation in aspect of management by reason of the hazardous impact on the contaminated soil in Korea. It was investigated high levels of arsenic salts in soil near abandoned five mines(Darak, Daduk, Jingok, Dalsung, Ilkwang) located in Youngnam area. Arsenic, classified as group A(Human Carcinogens) from IRIS, have shown statistically significant increment in skin cancer with oral exposure. This paper was conducted to predict excess cancer risk value (to the skin cancer) based on multiple pathway such as soil ingestion, dermal uptake and food(plant) ingestion contaminated by arsenic, and also, to identify the remedial goal regarded in future land use. The mine having the highest arsenic level was Daduk(mean : 1950mg/kg) and the next rank was Jingok(1690mg/kg), Ilkwang(352.37mg/kg), Dalsung(86.08mg/kg), Darak(0.83mg/kg). The chronic daily intake to the multiple exposure were calculated using Monte-Carlo simulation regarded in future land use and used q: value was $1.5(mg/kg/day)^{-1}$ to the oral proposed by IRIS(1997). The computated excess cancer risk 95th value to all the mine regarding future land use as residential and rural area were more than $10^{-4}$. If the level of acceptable risk is aimed for 1$\times$$10^{-6}$, it could be used Darak as commercial and industrial area without soil remediation due to the lowest risk value(6$\times$$10^{-8}$ and 3$\times$$10^{-8}$). Computated remedial goal based on 1$\times$$10^{-6}$ of acceptable risk to the future land use as the residential, rural, commercial and industrial area were 0.02mg/kg, 0.003mg/kg, 97.31mg/kg and 194.62mg/kg, respectively.

국내 폐금속광산 일대에서 비소 및 중금속의 발암 및 비발암 위해성을 근거로 복원 기준치를 설정하였다. 폐금속광산일대의 주요한 노출 경로는 부지내 폐광석과 광미로부터 직접적인 오염물 흡입과 지하수를 통한 부지내 및 외 섭취의 경로로 구분된다. 지하수의 오염원은 폐광석과 광미 침출로부터의 오염과 갱구 유출로부터의 오염 및 지질매체 자체에 의한 오염이 설정되었다. 높은 오염 수준에 대해서 높은 오염성분감소비와 폐광산일대의 다양한 배경농도로부터 복원기준치를 설정 했을때, 토양 및 지하수의 복원기준치는 비소 위해도의 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 평가되었다. 비소의 높은 독성은 복원 기준치를 매우 낮게 형성했고, 위해도가 낮은 아연과 카드늄은 높게 설정되었다. 궁극적으로 오염성분 감소비에 따른 복원기준치 설정은 오염성분의 노출 경로 차단이 복원 목표치를 현실화시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다.

국내 휴ㆍ폐금속광산 주변지역을 대상으로 광산활동으로 인한 독성 중금속 원소들의 주변 환경 유출과정 및 정도를 규명하여 생활에 미치는 환경오염의 가능성을 조사하는 환경지구 화학적 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 이들 중의 대부분은 적절한 환경복원시설이 설치되지 않아, 방치된 광미와 폐석에 의해 주변지역의 환경오염이 발생되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 국외의 경우 광산활동의 주요한 폐기물인 광미와 폐석에 대한 매립 및 처리 모델 개발, 침출수 관리 등 다양한 환경오염 방지 및 복구 연구가 수행되고 있다. (중략)

There are approximately 500 abandoned mining sites in Korea. Abandoned mines cause various environmental and safety problems such as landscape damage, soil, groundwater and stream pollution by heavy metal, acid mine drainage and soil erosion. According to the survey, there are significant numbers of mines causing environmental problems in Korea. For a environmentally sound management of abandoned mines, the Soil Pollution Control Act should include the regulation concerning soil pollution and recovery standards of the abandoned mines. Also, comprehensive survey about abandoned mines, setting-up of tile recovery priority, finance for clean-up are necessary.

Due to increased interest in environmental friendly ecological development and restoration, civil appeals concerning various environmental and landscape problems are continuously being lodged in cases where open-pit limestone mines are situated in places with eminent natural landscape. In this study, with the open-pit limestone mines located in the Baekdu mountain range as a study area, intends to contribute in recognition of various environmental problems and in the promotion of a reasonable restoration plan through high quality geo-spatial information. And it is planning to establish a method for sustained monitoring of the limestone mining by building intelligent national land information of the study area through combining Airborne Laser Scanning and Terrestrial LiDAR based surveying.

광산 및 폐광산으로부터의 오염 및 유해영향에 대한 보고와 관심이 대두되면서 휴ㆍ폐광산에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 경북 군위군의 고로 폐광산 주변 중 광미 및 광폐석으로 오염된 것으로 생각되어지는 하천 및 농경지에 대한 오염 정도와 분포를 규명하기 위하여 토양정밀조사를 실시하였다. 토양 오염 정밀조사 지침에 따라 총 741개의 토양 시료 분석 결과 Cu, Cd, Pb은 토양오염 우려 기준에 훨씬 미치지 못하였지만 As는 표토 및 심토 구간(0-30cm)에서 토양 오염 우려 기준 농도를 상당 수 초과하여 하천 및 농경지의 복원이 필수적임을 알 수 있었다. 합리적인 복원물량을 산출하기 위하여 배경치 농도(1.23mg/kg), 토양오염우려기준 40%농도(2.4mg/kg), 토양오염우려기준농도(6mg/kg), 토양오염대책기준농도(15mg/kg)별로 오염 등급을 나누어 오염 지도를 작성하고 각 등급별 복원목표에 따라 복원이 필요한 면적과 복원대상물량을 산출하였다. 본 연구는 오염토양의 복원을 목적으로 국내에서 최초로 실시된 대규모의 토양정밀조사라는 점에서 의미가 있으며, 이 결과는 실제 고로 폐광산지역의 복원 사업설계에 중요한 자료로 사용될 수 있다.

We performed this study to determine the foliar nutrient concentration and the nutrient stocks of restoration areas and adjacent Pinus densiflora S. et. Z. (red pine) stands in opencast kaolinite mines in Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, southern Korea. We chose six sites to determine foliage nutrient concentrations and the nutrient stocks of soils (0-10 cm depth). The dominant vegetation planted in restoration areas comprised Quercus acutissima Carruth., P. koraiensis S. et. Z., Festuca arundinacea Schreb., and Lespedeza cuneata G. Don. Invading vegetation in the restoration areas comprised Alnus incana (L.) Medik., Robinia pseudoacacia L., and Lespedeza spp., among others. The carbon and nitrogen stocks at 10 cm soil depth were significantly higher in the red pine stands than those in the restoration areas, whereas those of phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium were not significantly different between the two areas. However, calcium stocks were significantly higher in the restoration areas than in the red pine stands. Nitrogen concentration in foliage was higher in L. cuneata (20.28 mg N g^-1) than that in F. arundinacea (5.67 mg N g^-1), whereas potassium concentration was twice as high in F. arundinacea (18.8 mg K g^-1) as that in L. cuneata (9.07 mg K g^-1). Foliar nitrogen concentrations in invasive vegetation such as A. incana, R. pseudoacacia, and Lespedeza spp. were twice or four times higher than those of Q. acutissima and P. koraiensis. Our results indicate the development of suitable vegetation and soil amendment treatments to improve poor soil environmental conditions in restoration areas are necessary following opencast kaolinite mining.

Open-pit mines are the critical infrastructure for acquiring natural resources. Since it could be endangered by environmental and safety problems during operations, continuous monitoring is required for this type of mine. However, the domestic level management and accumulation of present state data of the topographical alteration are incurred by the development and restoration of open-pit mines relying on digital topographic maps and site surveys. Because of it, other than an expert cannot be viewed easily examines those changes information of open-pit mines in the domestic level. If the efficient management and public access of the open-pit mine is targeted, it is easy to build a web-based three-dimensional monitoring system, utilized in the space information software of open source. Therefore, we purposed on developing an open-pit mine monitoring system to support the development and restoration of the ecology-friendly environment, which could be easily monitored by the general public for those changes within terrain and environments due to operations of the mine.
