The dredged sediment management system was developed to have an objective, quantitative and scientific decision for the optimum removal time of dredged sediments behind debris barrier and was set up at the real site. The dredged sediment management system is designed and developed to directly measure the dredged sediments behind debris barrier in the field. This management system is composed of Data Acquisition System (DAS), Solar System and measurement units for measuring the weight of dredge sediments. The weight of dredged sediments, the water level and the rainfall are measured in real time using the monitoring sensors, and their data can be transmitted to the office through a wireless communication method. The monitoring sensors are composed of the rain gauge to measure rainfall, the load cell system to measure the weight of dredged sediments, and water level meter to measure the water level behind debris barrier. The management criteria of dredged sediments behind debris barrier was suggested by using the weight of dredged sediments. At first, the maximum weight of dredged sediments that could be deposited behind debris barrier was estimated. And then when 50%, 70% and 90% of the maximum dredged sediments weight were accumulated behind debris barrier, the management criteria were divided into phases of Outlooks, Watch and Warning, respectively. The weight of dredged sediments can be monitored by using the dredged sediment management system behind debris barrier in real time, and the condition of debris barrier and the removal time of dredged sediments can be decided based on monitoring results.

각종 오염물질이 수계로 유입되어 침강하면 하상에 퇴적되는데 이 오염된 퇴적물 중 질퍽한 콜로이드상의 물질을 오니토라 일컫는다. 이 오염물은 저장소 및 물환경의 변화에 따라 수질 악화의 직접적인 원인이 될 수 있는 인, 질소 등의 영양염류를 수중으로 재용출시킬 수 있는 비점오염원 종류 중 하나이다. 하천 준설은 하천에서 저수용량 확보와 하상 유지관리 및 골재확보, 수질 개선을 위해 토사를 제거하고 그 토사를 운반선에 의하여 운반하여 지정된 투기장에 투기하는 일련의 공사를 말하며, 이를 통하여 비점오염원인 오니토를 직접적으로 제거할 수 있다. 준설의 필요성 판단 및 수질개선 효과를 모니터하기 위해서는 하천의 수질과 유량을 조사해야 한다. 이때 대상구간이 요구하는 수질 기준에 부합하지 않으면 오염퇴적물 준설 기준을 통해 준설이 필요한 구간 및 사업량을 결정한다. 준설 사업량의 경제적 타당성을 정량적으로 검증하기 위해 대상 구간을 준설을 하지 않을 시 오니토가 상시 용출된다는 가정하에 물재생시설로 이 오염물을 정화했을 때의 비용을 준설 사업비와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천공사 표준시방서(2007)에 제시된 오염퇴적물 준설 기준을 만족하는 서낙동강수계의 준설 계획 지구에 대한 계획 사업비와 해당 지구 하류에 위치한 물재생시설의 정화능력 및 운영비를 비교해 하천 준설 사업비에 대한 편익을 산정하였다.

For optimum scale design of containment area, a series of laboratory tests using column were performed in this study as followings; sedimentation test and self-weight consolidation test for dredged soil, and suspended solid concentration test for supernatant. Containment area has been designed and evaluated, based on field condition and concentration of suspended solid of effluent water. In addition, the relation between width of containment area and target concentration of suspended solid was analyzed. The results show that concentration of suspended solid decreases as the width of containment area decreases and the length of containment area increases. It was also observed that influence of change in ponding depth should be considered to predict the change in suspended solid concentration in supernatant discharged as disposal is conducted; the lower target suspended solid concentration of effluent water, the more important.

In this study, grain size distribution of dredged soil and suspended solid distribution of supernatant in containment area were measured and compared with design prediction for suitability evaluation on prediction of suspended solid concentration of supernatant in conventional design of containment area. In addition to that, relationship were also analyzed between current velocity and suspended solid concentration of supernatant. Evaluation results show a relatively good agreement between field measurement and design prediction. On contrast, field measurement and design prediction show a quite different value each other in the early stage of dredging or at a point that current velocity increases. It is believed that this is due to that conventional design method of containment area does not account for ponding depth and current velocity which change sensitively with dredging period. Since current velocity and distribution of suspended solid concentration measured simultaneously show a similar trend, it is observed that there exists a close relationship between current velocity and distribution of suspended solid concentration. Therefore, a new design method for containment area, which can consider sedimentation of suspended solid that changes with interface height of dredged soil, ponding depth, current speed of supernatant, is necessary in order to predict the situation change of containment area more precisely.

The rainfall intensity-duration curve (I-D curve) was used for selecting the dredging time of sediments behind a debris barrier which is located at the study area in Inje-gun, Kangwon Province. The I-D curve was newly suggested by using the data of rainfall-induced landslides for about 30 years from June to September in Kangwon Province. According to the monitoring results, the landslides have been not occurred during the monitoring period of the dredged sediments management system at the study area, and also all of the rainfall events were located below the I-D curve. The weight of the dredged sediments measured at the management system in the field was increased but the weight increment was small. It means that the increase of the dredged sediments was not the effect of landslide but the effect of soil erosion at the ground surface due to heavy rainfall. The weight of the dredged sediments behind a debris barrier could be known in real time using the rainfall data measured at the management system. Also, when the I-D curve is used with the management system, it is possible to select the optimum dredging time for sediments behind debris barrier.

준설이란, 물리적으로 수저의 퇴적물을 제거함으로써 하도관리에서 가장 확실하게 퇴적물을 제거하고 통수 단면적을 증가시킬 수 있는 방법 중 하나이다. 우리나라에서는 주로 해안이나 항만에서 주를 이루어져 왔으며, 하천에서는 주로 골재채취를 목적으로 하는 소규모 준설사업이 대부분이었다. 그러나 4대강 살리기 사업으로 인해서 건설된 다기능보는 수위 및 유량을 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면, 흐름 및 유사의 연속성을 차단하여 유사퇴적이 발생할 가능성이 높아졌음으로 이를 위한 대책으로 유지준설이 이루어져야 한다. 준설은 대규모의 사업비가 투입되는 건설공사이면서, 수저의 퇴적물을 물리적으로 제거함에 따라 고탁도를 발생시키고 생태계를 교란시키는 등의 문제가 있다. 준설선진국인 미국의 경우, 이러한 문제점을 최소화하기 위한 일환으로 환경창(EWs; Environmental Windows)을 개발하여 미국 준설사업의 약 80%에 적용하여 관리하고 있다. 환경창이란, 준설 및 준설토 처분에 관한 작업이 이루어질수 있는 기간을 의미하여, 결정적으로 사회 환경적으로 준설에 따른 영향의 강도가 상대적으로 작은 기간을 선정하여 준설을 허용하는 기간이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 환경창를 국내에 적용하기 위하여 어류, 조류, 친수시설 이용빈도, 홍수기를 이용하였다. 연구대상지역은 낙동강 유역의 금호강 합류점이며, 홍수기에는 준설하지 않는 것을 대전제로 하였다. 어류는 대표어종을 선정하여 연구를 진행하였고, 그 외 조류는 법적보호종인 흑두루미, 친수시설 이용빈도는 4대강 방문객 통계자료를 사용하였다. 엔트로피 가중치 산정방법을 통하여 각 속성별 가중치를 산정하여 최종적으로 한국형 환경창을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 한국형 환경창은 기존의 환경창과 비교하였을 때, 영향의 정도를 수치로 표현하여 의사결정권자가 간편하게 환경창을 결정할 수 있도록 의사결정지원을 한다는 장점이 있다.

There is a volume change between the sediments and the dredged materials because the dredged materials is fully disturbed by the dredger and settled in the basin from the stabilized condition. The volume of the dredged materials is also affected by the coagulants and flocculants (hereafter C & F) which was used to speed up the settling of the suspended solids. In this study, the volume change of the dredged materials is analysed in detail due to the injection amount of the C & F. The dredged materials were sampled in the lagoon located in the East coastal zone, and the volume change of the samples is quantitatively analysed by the laboratory test due to the change of the clay content and the amount of the C & F. The optimal amounts of the C & F is determined by showing the minimal volume change due to C & F injection. From the experimental results, the volume of the dredged materials is increased 1.68 times on an average and the volume change rate is slightly increased, i.e., negligible, as the clay content increase in the case of the C & F injection.

Bulking change between sediments and dredged soils occurs when dredged soils are fully disturbed by dredging process and settled down to stabilized conditions in the basin. Bulking of dredged soils are affected by chemical injection, coagulant and flocculant, to speed up settling process of the suspended solids. In this paper, bulking changes of dredged soils are investigated by experimental works regarding injection effects of the coagulant and flocculant. Dredged sediments were sampled in the lagoon located at the East Coast, and the bulking change of dredged soils is quantitatively analysed by changing the clay content and the amount of the coagulant and flocculant. The optimal amounts of the coagulant and flocculant are determined based on minimal bulking change due to coagulant and flocculant injection. From the experimental results, the bulking of dredged soils increased 1.69 times on the average and the bulking change rate slightly increased as clay content increasea due to injection of the coagulant and flocculant.

In general, the investigation for reservoir dredging are conducting a observation on the horizontal position and the depth of water by assembling GPS/Echo Sounder and Total Station/Echo Sounder, and it is computed at a section computation of riverbed, reservoir volume and dredging plan etc. at that times, the detail plane is determinated about soil volume, height for dredging. Planning has a fault that the method of sound detection using the Echo Sounder doesn't check up distribution of reservoir deposit. In this study, the author emphasizes that implementation of dredging with combined Global Positioning System(GPS) and Ground Penetration Radar(GPR) is well-done more than existed GPS/Echo Sounder. the combined equipment can be adapted to computation and dredging reffering to distribution of deposition. First of all, it is executed water tank modelling test through sampling for apply to test area and is estimated the possibility after passed far accuracy verification of equipment.

There is a need to have a dredging index for decision of contaminated sediments dredging. Some differences from nation to nation were found in sediment quality guideline being applied by several nations because of economic level, environmental nature, and multiple uses. Therefore, it is not reasonable to adapt one guideline to be applied to sediments dredging. In this study, we developed dredging index by combining four numerical sets of sediment quality judgement into a quadrodiagram for prudential decisions. This newly developed dredging index was applied to the data obtained from Masan Bay before and after the dredging process. The quadrodiagrams of DI give us a nice graphical comparison and numerical values to explain the relative dredging effect under the circumstances of continuous input loadings. When the guideline value of DI is determined for the judgement of dredging considering social and economic impacts on local community, the DI value will be a scientific and reasonable tool in deciding dredging area and dredging depth.
