This study evaluated the ecotoxicological properties of livestock waste water treated by a LID (Low Impact Development) system, using a mixture of bio-reeds and bio-ceramics as suitable bed media for a subsequent treatment process of a livestock wastewater treatment plant. The relationship between the pollutant reduction rate and the ecotoxicity was analyzed with the effluents from the inlet pilot plant, with vegetated swale and wetlands and the batch type of an infiltration trench. Each pilot plant consisted of a bio process using bio-reeds and bioceramics as bed media, as well as a general process using general reeds and a bed as a control group. The results indicated that, after applying the HRT 24 hour LID method, the ecotoxicity was considerably lowered and the batch type pilot plant was shown to be effective for toxicity reduction. The LID method is expected to be effective for water quality management, considering ecotoxicity by not only as a nonpoint source pollution abatement facility but also, as a subsequent treatment process linked with a livestock manure purification facility. It is necessary to take the LID technic optimization study further to apply it as a subsequent process for livestock wastewater treatment.

In this study, the land use is analyzed by using the SWMM-LID (Low Impact Development) program to minimize the environmental damage caused by the development. In order to effectively utilize pre - development hydrological conditions, we analyzed the land use of existing industrial complex. The study areas selected were a completed industrial complex and an ongoing industrial complex in order to effectively identify the characteristics of the industrial complex and the water circulation system. Numerical simulation used SWMM-LID to enable quantitative hydrological impact assessment of penetration, storage facilities and LID planning elements. In the case of natural conditions, the infiltration amount was 16.3% and 1.5% of the total rainfall at B, C point, respectively. However, after applying the existing land use plan, the infiltration amount at point B was 12.1% and at point C was 3.9 %. In the case of point B, the amount of infiltration decreased due to the development of greenery as an impervious site. On the other hand, the amount of infiltration at point C increased as the existing industrial complex was replaced by greenery. Therefore, high infiltration amount can be secured when land use plan is redeveloped in green areas or parks in areas where the permeability coefficient is high according to the ground conditions in the complex. Two types of bio-polymer soil were developed to increase the LID effect and were tested to compare typical soil with these bio-polymer soils.

Soil is the most important factor in natural environment for bio-diversity. Urbanization and development of city devastate urban soil by the fraternization of green network and run off pollution. In these facts, preservation of soil is the main issue in maintain of quality urban environment. In order to handle this issue, the gold network that link fragment soil patches is considered in maintain quality soil. This study researched the infiltration Treebox design technique based on the Low Impact Development. This technique suggest reduction of impervious area of the soil due to urbanization. The main concept of this study is encourage more permeable surfaces in urban area by using a infiltration planter. The function of the planter is hold run off as much as possible from intensive rainfall, and utilizes it in drought season. Also, this planter provides fertile soil for organism habitat by keeping appropriate moisture supplying.

Recently, Low Impact Development (LID) technology has been developed and used to collect, infiltrate, filter and confine runoff in order to enhance the storm water quality and to preserve the natural water cycle. In this study, two technologies were employed in order to treat runoff from an impervious surface such as a paved road and a parking lot. The infiltration trench which was constructed to manage stormwater runoff from a paved road abates and temporarily holds stormwater runoff and removes sediments and attached pollutants within the sub-surface structure prior to infiltration into the subsoils. On the other hand, the tree box filter which incorporates trees and other gardening plants to regulate and treat runoff drains the stormwater from a parking lot. The infiltration trench and tree box filter represent only 1% of the catchment area that they drain. This research was conducted to evaluate the hydrologic and water quality effects of the infiltration trench and tree box filter after LID. Storm event monitoring was conducted for the infiltration trench from May 2009 to August 2014 with a total of 38 storm events and 24 storm events in the tree box filter from July 2010 to July 2014. Hydrologic (i.e., total rainfall, antecedent dry day (ADD), runoff volume, etc.) and water quality (i.e. particulates, nutrients, organics, and heavy metals) parameters were analyzed before and after LID. The major findings of this study are as follows: The runoff before LID was discharged directly to the sewers and could lead to local flooding of transport systems and pollution to receiving waters during intense storm events. But, after LID the runoff was partially reduced for atleast 50% on the two (2) urban landuses. Furthermore, the pollutant concentration before LID was observed to be at high concentrations. However, it was reduced to an approximate of 60% after LID. With the combined processes of infiltration, filtration, retention and evapotranspiration that were provided by the infiltration trench and tree box filter, the runoff was partially reduced and a significant decrease in pollutant concentration has been observed. The results and findings of this study will help facilitate the LID for further application.

본 연구는 도로의 Low Impact Development(LID) 시설에서 노면유출수의 저류와 토양내의 중금속 축적을 모니터링하였다. 경기도 A시에 위치한 시설로 기존가로수 하향식재와 나무화분 여과상자의 가로수 형태가 있으며, 식생 저류조 형태의 식생플랜트와 식생체류장치로 총 4개의 시설에 대하여 모니터링을 실시하였다. 강우에 실시된 4회의 모니터링에서 시설로 유입된 누적 강우유출수는 0.07~0.77 m3의 범위로 나타났으며, 가로수 형태 시설의 강우 유출수에 대한 시설 유입율은 평균 14.9%였다. 식생 저류조 형태의 경우 평균 4.6%의 유입율로 강우 유출수에 대한 저류능력을 나타내었다. 토양 의 중금속은 표층으로부터 10 cm의 토사를 채취하여 농도변화를 계절(여름, 가을, 겨울)에 따라 모니터링하였다. 타이어의 마모에 의해 발생하는 카드뮴(Cd)의 경우 식생플랜트 시설의 초기 기저농도 0.0014 mg/kg에서 겨울에는 0.0304 mg/kg으로 증가하였다. 나무화분 여과상자에서는 납(Pb)이 0.0263 mg/kg에서 0.0606 mg/kg으로 축적된 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 LID시설의 유량 저류는 도심의 불투수층에서 발생하는 강우 유출수가 하천으로 유입되어 유발되는 홍수 및 수해에 대한 방재 효과와 시설 내 중금속 저감을 기대 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

지나친 도시개발은 불투수면적의 증가로 인한 유출 증가를 야기하며 이는 홍수 및 비점오염에 대한 문제 및 기저유출감소로 인한 지하수위 감소에 따라 하천을 건천화시키는 문제를 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 저영향개발(LID, Low Impact Development) 기법이 제시되고 있다. 즉, LID 기법을 적용함으로써 개발 이전의 수문순환 상태를 모사하여 개발로 인한 영향을 최소화 하고 물 순환구조를 개선하고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 LID 개념의 도입이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 소규모 배수 분구를 중심으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 중규모 이상의 유역에 LID기법을 적용 시 유역 내 수문학적 유출 특성과 오염 발생 특성 변화에 대한 분석 방안이 요구되지만 하수처리분구 단위의 수문학적 영향을 분석 할 수 있는 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하수처리 구역 내 LID 기법의 적용에 따른 물순환 개선효과와 비점오염 저감효과 분석 및 기존 관리기법과의 비교를 통해 유역관리 측면에서의 적정 LID 설치면적 추정 방안을 검토하였다. LID 적용효과 분석을 위하여 소규모 배수 분구인 부산시 동래천 유역과 하수처리구역인 온천천 유역을 대상유역으로 선정하였으며 동래천 유역을 대상으로 LID 요소기술의 적용가능 면적을 추출하고 비율로 환산한 후 온천천 유역으로 확대·적용하였다. LID 요소기술 중 우리나라의 토지이용 밀집도를 고려하여 적용이 용이한 Green Roof와 Porous Pavement 및 도로에 설치되는 Street Planter를 선정하였으며 유역별로 구축된 LID 기법 기반의 SWMM 모형을 이용하여 토양특성과 강우특성을 고려한 물순환 기능 개선효과 및 비점오염량 저감효과를 분석하였다. 또한 온천천 유역을 대상으로 기존 비점오염 관리방안인 오염원 및 방류량에 따른 처리효율과 LID 적용 시의 처리효율을 비교하였으며 비교자료를 토대로 유역관리와 비용적인 측면을 고려한 적정 LID 설치비율로서 기존 비점오염 관리방안의 처리효율을 만족하는 LID 설치비율을 선정하고 이에 대한 적용 가능성을 검토하였다.
