This study was undertaken to summarize of the efficiencies of the passive treatment system and suggest future studies for the solution of mine drainage problem. Flow rates of mine drainage from the abandoned coal mines are about 80,000 ton/day. Contaminated mine drainages over about 50 ton/day of flow rate were treated by passive treatment facilities such as Successive Alkalinity Producing Systems(SAPS), oxidation pond and oxic wetland. Chemical analysis for 13 passive coal mine treatment facilities showed that SAPS was the core of treatment facilities because the variation of Fe removal rates was relatively smaller than any other processes and re-leaching of Fe was not measured. The performance and life of SAPS depended on decrease in permeability and retention time due to accumulation of sludge. It is inferred that upgrade of design of the passive treatment system and in-situ treatment using underground void will be necessary for the amelioration of the mine drainage with high metal loading rates.

Artificial precipitation ponds, consisting of three steps of oxidation pond, successive alkalinity producing system (SAPS) and swamp, were constructed for the treatment of the acid mine drainage from the Iwal coal mine. The efficacies of the passive treatment system in terms of neutralization of mine water and removal of dissolved ions were evaluated by the chemical analyses of the water samples. Mine water in the mine adits was acidic, showing the pH value of 2.28-2.42 but the value increased rapidly to 6.17-6.53 in the Oxidation pond. The purification efficiencies for the removal of Al and Fe were 100%, whereas those of $SO_4$, Mg, Ca, and Mn were relatively low of 50%, 40%, 24%, and 59%, respectively. These results indicate a need for application of additional remediation techniques in the passive treatment systems. The precipitates that formed at the bottom of the mine water channels were mainly schwertmannite ($Fe_8O_8(OH)_6SO_4$) and those in the leachate water were 2-line ferrihydrite ($Fe_2O_3{cdot}0.5H_2O$).

Within the scope that does not interfere with the performance of basic duty, the military has been actively supporting the national policy for the conservation of the natural environment in accordance with the "military environmental protection guidelines". Since there is a lack of information regarding inhabitation for wild fauna and flora, field investigations of the natural environment at Jinhae local unit were performed three times in 2003. As a result of the investigation, lycoris sanguinea as flora, marten, otter, and leopard cat as mammalia, and accipiter soloensis, accipiter gentilis schvedow, accipiter gularis, buteo hemilasius, falco tinnunculus and terpsiphone atrocaudata as bird were confirmed to inhabit. For the conservation of the natural ecosystem, the expansion of research for natural ecosystems within the military unit is required. Additionally, environmental pollution can be prevented through the proper maintenance of basic environmental facilities including sewage treatment facilities, soil pollution control facilities, and waste storage facilities. In cooperation with local governments and private organizations, the natural cleansing action and sustainable wildlife conservation should be expanded.

옥산목장은 자연순환형 낙동기반이 탄탄한 곳이다. 3만평의 조사료를 확보해 목장에서 밸생하는 가축분뇨를 전부 퇴비화해 환원하고 있으며 목장에서 발생하는 오수도 충분히 정화될 수 있는 시설을 갖췄다. 넓은 조사료포를 제 때 가꾸기 위해서는 관련 농기계도 확보해야 하고, 축분처리와 오수정화를 위한 설비 구축도 해야한다. 뿐만 아니라 목장을 경영하는 두 부부의 꾸준한 노력과 부지럼함도 담보돼야 한다.

최근 농업용수의 수질개선을 위한 사업으로 수질개선시설들이 조성되었으나 유지관리의 측면에서 정화효과 검토와 시설물 운영에 대한 관리만 집중적으로 진행되고 있다. 특히 농업용수 수질개선사업은 자연친화적 공법인 인공습지가 주로 활용되고 있음에도 불구하고 식생 및 정화식물에 대한 조사 및 영향분석에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 또한 인공습지 내 정화식물 이외의 우점 식물종(침입 식물종)에 대한 현황 및 관리방안 검토도 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 총 6개 저수지의 인공습지를 대상으로 식물상 및 군락특성을 조사하여 인공습지 식생도를 작성하였다. 인공습지 내 수질 정화식물 현황 분석 결과는 조사의 여건 및 시기 등을 고려하여 3단계를 나누어 관리지역을 파악할 수 있도록 식생도에 반영하였다. 또한 인공습지 내 정화식물(갈대, 부들, 꽃창포 등) 이외의 우점 식물종(침입 식물종)을 분석하고 침입 식물종 특성 및 관리 방안을 분석하였다. 인공습지에 대한 관속식물상을 조사한 결과, 총 27과 59속 63종 7변종 1아종으로 총 71류군이 조사되었다. 대부분의 습지에서 우점종으로 갈대, 부들이 확인되었으며, 일부 습지의 경우 줄, 큰고랭이, 마름 등이 조사되었다. 귀화식물은 7과 23종으로 조사되었으며, 인공습지 내부보다는 주변의 나대지, 제방사면에 주로 분포하고 있다. 귀화식물 중 환경부에서 지정한 생태계교란식물은 양미역취, 단풍잎돼지풀, 미국쑥부쟁이, 돼지풀, 물참새피, 가시상추가 조사되었다. 귀화식물 종수가 10~12종으로 나타났으며, 도시화지수는 3.1~3.7%로 나타났으나 출현 종수가 적어 귀화율은 29.4~44.0%로 높게 나타났다. 식물의 경우 동물과 달리 계절에 따라 출현하는 종의 차이가 더욱 크기 때문에 정확한 분석을 위해서는 계절에 따른 지속적인 조사가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Sampling of waters from each stage of treatment system (Successive Alkalinity Producing System; SAPS), tailings seepage, and spring near the Hanchang coal mine of Kangwon Province were carried out seasonally and analyzed to evaluate the source and possible path of groundwater contamination by acid mine drainage (AM). Sulfur isotope compositions were measured to identify the origin of groundwater contaminations and the sulfate reduction processes in the SAPS. Low pH and high metal concentration of spring water indicates possibility of the groundwater contamination by AMD. Removal efficiency of acidity of the SAPS was 18.17 g/$\textrm{m}^2$/day on an average and the metal removal efficiency was almost 100%, which was higher than those of other treatment systems. However, no appreciable decrease of sulfur content and almost similar sulfur isotope compositions of water from each stage of the treatment system may suggest incomplete or very poor sulfate reduction by sulfate reducing bacteria. Chemical and sulfur isotope compositions showed that spring water was contaminated by seepage from mine tailings. And seepage of stonewall, a part of treatment system was affected by both tailings seepage and mine adit drainage. In this study site, the treatment system was constructed for the only AMD from mine adit not for tailings seepages, which resulted in the groundwater contamination from tailing seepages. Similar situation is expected in other abandoned coal mine areas.
