Abstract

A method of improving the post-management end system of a landfill that reflected total pollutant load was applied to the SUDOKWON 1st Landfill Site. Modeling results showed that the ratio of remaining methane, when compared to the total maximum potential of 2,521 × 106 Nm3, was estimated to be 8.8% in 2020, 7.0% in 2030, and 6.5% in 2040. If the average oxidation rate of 89.1% in 2005-2019 was applied, the ratio decreased by 1.01% in 2020, 0.76% in 2030, and 0.70% in 2040. This suggests that if the amount of methane generated is all emitted from the surface of the landfill after 2025, the real amount emitted to the atmosphere is less than that in 2019; therefore, the post-management end is possible. According to the results of trend analysis of the quality of leachate water, effluent criteria for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) can be satisfied in 2024, while those for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Nitrogen (T-N) can be satisfied in 2047 and 2117, respectively. If the post-management end system changed based on total pollutant load, the post-management can be terminated BOD today and COD within a few years; however, the fact that T-N could be terminated only after 2041 shows the need to fundamentally change management methods.

오염총량 개념을 반영한 매립장 사후관리종료제도 개선방안을 수도권매립지 제1매립장을 대상으로 적용하여 분석하였다. 매립가스 모델을 통해 분석한 메탄 잔여비율은 총 발생 가능량인 2,521×106 Nm3에 대하여 2020년 8.8%, 2030년 7.0%, 2040년 6.5%이었다. 2020년 이후의 표면발산 메탄량에 2005~2019년의 평균 산화율 89.1%를 적용할 경우, 실제 배출기준 메탄 잔여율은 2020년 1.01%, 2030년 0.76%, 2040년 0.70%로서 2025년 이후 메탄이 전량 표면 발산되어도 2019년 기준 표면 발산량보다 적어 사후관리 종료가 가능하였다. 침출수 수질에 대한 추이분석 결과, BOD는 2024년, COD 2047년, T-N은 2117년경에 배출허용기준을 만족할 수 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 사후관리종료를 배출부하량을 기준으로 변경할 경우 BOD는 현 시점에서 그리고 COD도 수년 내 사후관리종료가 가능하나, T-N의 경우 2041년 이후에나 가능하여 근본적인 관리방식의 전환이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
