Recently, various development projects have occurred due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Both industry and population grew rapidly which causes a corresponding rise in pollution. The accumulated pollutants are washed-off during rainy days, highly degrading the water quality of the receiving water body. This is because a lot of non point source (NPS) pollutants were accumulated on the surface during dry periods. This research focuses on the development of Eco-Bio Filter (EBF) system that treats NPS pollutants. It is constructed at Kongju National University campus. The EBF is a type of a structured infiltration system that falls under the category of Low Impact Development (LID) hydrologic design practices. The monitoring of rain events was performed. It includes the development of design, the lessons learned from the post-construction testing and the improvements in the renovation made. After a series of monitoring, the MOE will use the results to apply the design to other areas in the country.

고속도로 및 편의시설 건설로 불투수층의 면적이 증가하여 강우 시 고속도로 및 편의시설에서 발생하는 오염원에 의한 하천의 수질 영향도 커지고 있다. 특히 휴게소에서는 자동차의 급가속, 급감속으로 더욱 많은 분진과 오염물질이 발생할 수 있으며 타이어 마모 입자, 자동차 배기가스, 중금속 및 오일류 등이 휴게소나 도로 지표에 집적되어 있다. 이렇게 발생한 오염물질은 우기에 강우와 함께 불투수면을 침투하지 못하고 배수로를 통해 유출되어 인근 하천의 수생태 및 토양의 주요 오염원으로 작용하고 있다. 이에 따라 고속도로 및 인근 휴게소의 비점오염 저감대책이 필요하며 효율적인 비점오염원 저감을 위해 장기적인 모니터링, 지속적인 자료 수집 및 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강원지역 고속도로 및 인근 휴게소에서 강우 시 강우유출수 모니터링을 통해 강우유출수 유량가중평균농도 (Event Mean Concentration) 산정하고 강우유출수 수문곡선 (hydrograph)을 작성하였다. 또한 강우사상에 따른 분석항목별 초기세척효과(First Flush Effects)와 오염부하량을 산정하였다. 추가적으로 차량 기인 입자를 확인하기 위해 μ-FT-IR 현미경 분석 실험을 하였다. 모니터링 장소는 휴게소 및 고속도로 일원이며, 모니터링은 선행무강우일수 2일 이상, 강우량 10mm 이상일 때 실시하였으며 2022년 6월부터 10월까지 총 4회 실시하였다. 모니터링 결과 타이어 및 브레이크 패드 마모와 관련된 중금속인 Zn, Cu, Pb 등의 중금속이 높게 분석되었으며 이러한 중금속의 오염부하량 역시 높게 산정되었다. 강우유출수 수문곡선에서 강우 초기 오염물질의 세척효과가 나타났다. MFFn 산정 결과 강우 30% 구간에서 초기세척효과를 보였다. μ-FT-IR 현미경 분석 결과 PE (Polyethylene)가 가장 많이 검출되었고 PP (Polypropylene), PS (Polystyrene) 순으로 검출되었다. 이러한 강우유출수 모니터링 데이터는 향후 고속도로 휴게소 및 고속도로 주변 오염저감 시설 설치 및 사회적 동참을 위한 타당한 근거 확보를 위한 기초자료로서 제공될 수 있을 것이다.

Recently, it has been reported that water pollution due to non-point pollutants continues. Studies have been actively carried out to prevent such non-point pollutants from flowing into the water system and to prevent water pollution. In this study, to evaluate the adequate design of the LID facilities the rainfall corresponding to 80% of the cumulative rainfall of Yongin city was applied to an SA / CA graph obtained from the analysis of monitoring results of the vegetation type LID facility. As a result, the appropriate SA/CA ratio was 0.6% for stormwater sustain efficiency 80% and the appropriate SA/CA ratio was 0.5% for TSS removal efficiency 80%. The appropriate SA/CA ratio of the vegetation type LID proposed in this study can be used as a basis. for the future vegetation type LID design. If more data of vegetation type LID are added through continuous research, it will be more accurate.

정부의 4대강 물 관리 종합대책에 따르면, 수계 전체 오염원중 비점오염원이 차지하는 오염부하가 22~37%에 달하는 것으로 추정되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 중요성에도 불구하고 농업지역 비점오염물질 저감을 위한 대책은 논과 밭과 같이 농경지에 관한 것이 대부분이었으며, 축산은 관리 기준의 가장 기초라고 할 수 있는 지목분류기준에 조차 별도의 기준이 없는 실정이다. 가축분뇨공공처리시설과 가축분뇨자원화시설은 가축분뇨를 처리하여야 하는 점오염원이지만, 차량 운반시 발생되는 일부 분뇨와 처리장 세척 시 발생되는 일부 오염물질들이 비점오염원으로 작용하고 있으며 이에 대한 관리가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가축분뇨공공처리시설과 가축분뇨자원화시설에서 강우시 발생되는 유출특성을 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 가축분뇨처리시설의 비점오염 관리 처리시설 설치 시에 중요한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 경상북도 영천시, 경기도 용인시, 전라북도 정읍시, 강원도 횡성군 등 축산밀집 지역을 대상으로 연 5회 강우시 모니터링을 실시하였으며, 모니터링자료를 바탕으로 유량가중평균농도(Event Mean Concentration, EMC)를 산정하였다. 영천시 가축분뇨자원화시설의EMC 산정결과 평균 BOD 5.1 mg/L, TN 6.90 mg/L, TP 0.91 mg/L로 산정되었으며, 용인시 개별처리농가의 경우 BOD 6.8 mg/L, TN 3.74 mg/L, TP 1.04 mg/L로, 횡성군 가축분뇨공공처리장의 경우 BOD 4.5 mg/L, TN 3.56 mg/L, TP 1.60 mg/L로, 정읍시 가축분뇨공공자원화시설의 경우 BOD 4.3 mg/L, TN 6.82 mg/L, TP 0.48 mg/L로 산정되었다. BOD, TN은 영천시 가축분뇨자원화시설에서 가장 높게 나타났고, TP의 경우 횡성군 축산폐수공공처리장의 경우 높게 나타났다. 유출특성을 분석한 결과 가축분뇨자원화시설의 경우 대부분 콘크리트 기반으로 조성된 토지위에 조성되어 강우시 유량은 급격하게 상승하며, 강우가 종료되면 바로 감소하는 불투수층 지역의 특성을 나타났다. 본 연구에서 분석된 유츨특성과 EMC는 비점오염 처리시설이나 가축분뇨공공처리시설 설치시 기초데이터로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 가축분뇨처리시설의 지속적인 모니터링과 모니터링지점 확대로 자원화시설 강우유출수의 DataBase화를 통한 지속적인 연구 및 관리가 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to develop a tree box filter system, an example of Low Impact Development technology, for treating stormwater runoff from road. Monitoring of storm events was performed between June 2011 and November 2012 to evaluate the system performance during wet day. Based on the results, all runoff volume generated by rainfall less than 2 mm was stored in the system. The minimum volume reduction of 20% was observed in the system for rainfall greater than 20 mm. The greatest removal efficiency was exhibited by the system for total heavy metals ranging from 70 to 73% while satisfactory removal efficiency was exhibited by the system for particulate matters, organic matters and nutrients ranging from 60 to 68%. The system showed greater pollutant removal efficiency of 67 to 83% for rainfall less than 10 mm compared to rainfall greater than 10 mm which has 39 to 75% pollutant removal efficiency. The system exhibited less pollutant reduction for rainfall greater than 10 mm due to the decreased retention capacity of the system for increased rainfall. Overall, the system has proved to be an option for stormwater management that can be recommended for on-site application. Similar system may be designed based on several factors such as rainfall depth, facility size and pollutant removal efficiency.

Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution continues to degrade the water quality. NPS pollutants signals high concerns against a sustainable environment. Low impact development (LID) is the leading management practice which regulates and treats stormwater runoff especially in highly impervious urban areas. Constructed wetlands are known to have efficient removal capability of NPS pollutants. Likewise, these LID facilities were intended to maintain the predeveloped hydrologic regime through series of mechanisms such as particle settling, filtration, plant uptake, and etc. In this study, the objective was to investigate the characteristics, fate and treatment performance of the two in-campus constructed wetlands (SW1 and SW2) which were installed adjacent to impervious roads and parking lots to treat stormwater runoff. A total of 42 storm events were monitored starting from July 2010 until November 2015. Manual grab sampling was utilized at the inlet and outlet units of each LID facilities. Based on the results, the wetlands were found to be effective in reducing 37% and 41% of the total runoff volume and peak flows, respectively. Aside from this, outflow EMCs were generally lower than the inflow EMCs in most events suggesting that the two wetlands improved the water quality of stormwater runoff. The average removal efficiency of pollutants in facilities were 63~79% in TSS, 38~54% in TN, 54% in TP and 32%~81% in metals. The results of this study recommend the use of constructed wetlands as efficient treatment facility for urban areas for its satisfactory performance in runoff and pollutant reduction.

Toll-gate in highways often received the pollution impact from transportation/vehicular activities. Thus, concentrated pollutants carried by stormwater runoff are directed to nearby streams affecting the water quality and ecosystem. In order to determine the environmental impact on nearby waterbodies and predict the future impact by stormwater runoff, the unit pollutant loads from various landuses are really important. This research was performed to characterize the stormwater runoff and to provide the unit loads from Toll-gate landuses in Korea. The monitoring was conducted at toll gate locating in Gaeryoung City during 2006-2007. The water quality parameters including TSS, COD, DOC, TN, and TP were analyzed and also the flow rates were measured during the monitoring. In this paper, EMCs will be calculated by using the monitored water quality concetraions and flow rates, which will be used to determine the unit pollutant loads from the toll-gate of highway.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become an increasing concern in terms of human health risks as well as aesthetic impairment due to their toxicity. The reduction of water pollutants, especially nutrients from non-point sources in a reservoir watershed, is fundamental for HABs prevention. We investigated the pollutant removal efficiencies of a constructed wetland to evaluate its feasibility as a method for controlling non-point sources located in the Annaecheon stream within the Daecheong Reservoir watershed. The overall removal efficiencies of pollutants were as follows: BOD 14.3%, COD 17.9%, SS 50.0%, T-N 19.0%, and T-P 35.4%. These results indicate that constructed wetlands are effective in controlling pollutants from non-point sources. The seasonal variation in removal efficiency depended on the specific pollutants. The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, and T-N were stable throughout the year, except during winter, which might have been influenced by lower microorganism activity. In contrast, T-P showed a consistent removal efficiency even during the winter season, suggesting that the wetland can reduce external phosphorus loading to the reservoir. Regarding the effects of pollutant loadings on removal efficiency, the effluent concentrations of all pollutants were significantly decreased compared to those in the influent in case of middle and high loadings. This demonstrates that constructed wetlands can handle high pollutant loads, including the initial runoff during rainfall, to prevent reservoir eutrophication. Despite the various strengths of wetland water purification, there are limitations as passive treatment. Therefore, more case studies should be conducted to suggest optimum operational conditions for constructed wetlands, taking into consideration reservoir-specific characteristics.
