Total organic carbon(TOC) was introduced as the water quality index of the rivers and lakes in 2013. This paper evaluated factors affecting effluent TOC concentrations and treated and discharged loads of existing publicly owned treatment works(POTWs). For selected POTWs with greater treatment capacity than $500m^3/day$, factorial analysis was used to consider effects of kinds of biological treatment processes, inflow of other types of wastewater(industrial, livestock, landfill leachate wastewater, etc.) with domestic wastewater, sewer separation rate, and effluent discharging zones in which different effluent criteria applied. As a result, those factors did not show significant effect on effluent TOC concentration of POTWs in effluent discharging zone I and II. However, In effluent discharging zone III and IV, kinds of biological treatment processes, the inclusion of other waste in influent of domestic wastewater, and the sewer separation rate were significant factors. The treated TOC load in POTWs was also not affected significantly by the variables set in this study. On the other hand, those three factors influenced significantly on the TOC load discharged to water bodies. The sum of factorial effects and the contribution rate of three factors to the discharged TOC load was 60.23 and 41%, 59.57 and 41%, and 42.04 and 18%, respectively.

In order to establish water quality management planning in some watershed, water quality of the future of the watershed should be predicted first. The Yongsan river various pollutant sources ; sewage, industry, livestock, farming and so on. And pollutants from these sources are likely to increase even though a number of publicly owned treatment works(POTWs) are founded. Therefore, it is estimated that water quality if the river would be even worse than now in near future. In this study, water quality of the future(2001, 2006) on the Yongsan river was simulated with QUAL2E model. Concentration of three water quality parameters(BOD, T-N, T-P) was predicted according to dry season, low flow season, average flow season of the river with and without POTWs. The results of this study showed the significant contrast in concentration between with and without POTWs, specially in terms of T-N and T-P. Therefore, POTWs must be founded around the Yongsan river and more advanced treatment should be considered. And because these parameters are mostly affected by polluants from upper watershed, including Kwangiudcheon, water quality management planning on the Yongsan river might be focused on this area.

The key point in establishing water quality management measures is how to decide the load reduction for pollution sources. This study was performed to compare reduction methods for BOD loadings to achieve water quality standards at the end of the Yeongsan river. The target year is 2006 and 2011 and reduction methods are uniform treatment and treatment by influence rate. Using QUAL2E model, the study was performed under the conditions of establishing and non-establishing the publicly owned treatment works(POTWs). Uniform treatment which allocate the same reduction rate to pollution sources showed that all streams into the river should be applied for the reduction. However, treatment by influence rate which allocate the reduction rate by the order of influence rate showed that achieving target quality might be possible with a few streams for the reduction. But total amount of load reduction of streams was not significantly different from two methods.

The movement of sediments in the stream crossing a large industrial complex to the mouth of Masan Bay was monitored for eight years. Sediment samples were seasonally collected in the period of $1992{\sim}1997$ and $2001{\sim}2002$. The heavy metal content of sediment was found to be higher at dry season with the peak on February and significantly decreased at rainy season. Metals content in stream sediments were rapidly decreased by large precipitation events in rainy season because the contaminants in the upstream sediments were transported to the dredged area of Masan Bay where is a typical enclosed bay in Korea. The increasing and decreasing tendency of heavy metals in sediment was repeatedly observed for six consecutive years. The heavy metals assessment of stream sediment provide us the information about the pollutant source, transport pattern and control strategy along the industrial complex. It was strongly suggested that the transportable stream sediments of an industrial area should be controlled as one of the important strategies to restore and manage the enclosed bay. Combined wastewaters have been collected and treated in a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) after industrial wastewater treatment at each location of industries since 1994. A field study was conducted to investigate the pollutant removal efficiency and performance of contact oxidation system installed and operated in two locations in the stream. The stream sediment quality was improved since then, and as a consequence the habitat of the estuary has been restored.

바이오필터 기술은 수백 ppmC의 저농도 배가스를 처리하는 데에 있어 효과적이며, 비용이 저렴하고 환경적으로 건전한 처리방법이다. 적용범위로는 폐수처리장, 퇴비화시설, 음식물가공공장에서 발생되는 악취를 비롯하여 매립지가스 및 토양증기추출(SVE, soil vapor extraction)시 발생되는 휘발성 배가스의 처리등이 있다. 바이오필터 기술을 효과적으로 적용하기 위해서는 문헌연구를 꼼꼼하게 실시 한 후 실험실규모, 파일롯트규모, 그리고 현장규모로 점차 확대하여 실시하는 것이 바람직하다. 본고에서는 바이오필터 기술의 원리, 설계인자, 운전조건, 적용사례, 그리고 경제성 평가를 중심으로 고찰하였다.

Objectives: Industrial development in Korea results in a rapid increase in the number of chemicals, some of which may be responsible for toxicity to aquatic ecosystems. In addition, the types of hazardous chemicals included in industrial effluents have gradually increased. Therefore, chemical analysis alone is not enough to assess ecological effects of toxic chemicals in wastewater. Methods: In response to new regulations as whole effluent toxicity (WET) tests for effluent discharge of 15 publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and 25 industrial effluent treatment plants in Gyeonggi-do, which will be effective from 2011, a necessity of studies emerges that investigates toxicity levels. Results: In case of the public treatment plants, none of them had exceeded the criteria for ecotoxicity. As for individual wastewater discharge facilities, on the other hand, two types were found to exceed the criteria: pulp and paper manufacturing facilities and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. For the pulp and paper manufacturing facilities, monitoring results could not help determine the exact toxicant identification. However, Daphnia magna inhibition effect or death was found to leave white plums, suggesting that suspended solids treated and the polymer used in coagulant dose. In case of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, the general water quality parameters cannot affect Daphia magna. However, conductivity and salinity can have an effect to be 14,000 ${\mu}s/cm$, 8.1‰ by salts, respectively. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) and Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) procedures results appeared to be effective for identifying toxic compounds in $Cl^{-}$ and $SO_4^{2-}$. Conclusions: It is necessary to develop control measures for water treatment chemicals and salts used for processes such as coagulation in individual wastewater discharge facilities in order to achieve the goal to protect aquatic ecosystems in public waters.

국내에서 가장 전형적인 폐쇄성 해역인 마산만은 연안도시인 마산시와 창원시의 배수지역이다. 유역인구가 약 100만명으로 증가된 시점인 1993년 11월에 마산시 덕동하폐수종말처리장이 가동되기 시작하였으며, 그 유출수는 마산내만에서 약 15km 떨어진 옥계해역에 방류되기 시작하였다. 본 연구에서는 마산만 유입부하의 분포가 어떻게 변화하였으며, 유입부하량과 유입오염물질의 성상은 어떠한 가를 규명하였다. 또한 마산만 유입부하 특성의 변화가 폐쇄성 연안 수질에 어떠한 영향을 주고 있는가를 연구하였다.

우리나라의 공공하수처리시설 방류수 수질기준을 마련하는데 있어 기준설정 근거를 명확히 하는 것과 하수처리시설의 운영조사를 근거로 적정성 여부를 검토할 수 있는 종합적인 기준설정 체계를 마련할 필요가 있다. 미국은 연방정부가 POTW에 대한 최소한의 항목과 기준의 가이드라인을 제시하며, 지방정부는 국가 가이드라인과 동일하거나 주별 특성을 반영하여 보다 엄격한 가이드라인을 제시하도록 하고 있다. 일본의 경우 하수도법상 방류수 수질기준에서 하수처리시설 구조 기술상의 기준을 만족하여야 하고 방류수 수질기준과 공공수역으로의 배수기준을 동시에 적용하도록 하고 있으며 이에 대한 세부항목 및 기준은 지자체 조례로 규정하고 있다. 유럽의 경우 하수처리시설 방류수 수질기준은 공공수역에 대한 부영양화의 민감성에 따라 수질기준 항목을 차등하여 적용하고, 수계로 배출되는 오염물질 부하량에 따라 수질기준을 차등하여 적용하고 있다. 우리나라도 공공하수처리시설 방류수 수질기준 설정 시 미국 국가오염물질배출삭감제도 또는 유럽 통합환경관리제도에서와 같이 통계적 평균값 및 처리효율 또는 최적처리기술을 적용한 방류수 수질기준을 설정하는 체계를 도입하는 것이 필요하다.

퇴비공장 또는 공공시설에서 발생되는 악취폐가스의 대표적인 제거대상 오염원인 황화수소와 암모니아를 포함한 악취폐가스를 처리하기 위하여 여러 운전 조건 하에서 바이오필터와 광촉매반응기로 구성된 semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템을 운전하였다. 황화수소 및 암모니아를 동시 처리하는 바이오필터시스템에서는 황화수소의 처리성능과 다르게 암모니아의 처리성능은 암모니아만을 처리하는 바이오필터시스템보다 훨씬 떨어졌다. Semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템의 황화수소와 암모니아에 대한 제거효율은 각각 약 83% 및 약 65% 정도이었다. 따라서 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템의 경우보다 황화수소 및 암모니아에 대한 제거효율은 각각 4 및 30% 정도 증가하였다. 또한 황화수소와 암모니아의 동시제거를 할 때에 황화수소와 암모니아의 최대 제거용량은 각각 약 60 및 $37g/m^3/h$이었다. 따라서 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템의 경우보다 황화수소 및 암모니아에 대한 최대 제거용량은 각각 약 9.1%와 약 23.3% 증가하였다. 그러므로 본 semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템은 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템을 기준으로 황화수소보다 암모니아의 제거율과 최대 제거용량 제고에 더욱 기여하였다.
