태안화력발전소 주변 해양수질의 변화와 그 대책 = The Changes of the Sea Water Quality around the Tae-an Thermoelectric Power Plant and Its Counterplan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This investigation is about the changes of the sea water quality around the Tae-an thermoelectric power plant and its counterplan. I analyzed water quality and heavy metals in thirteen areas near Tae-an thermoelectric power plant, from 2013 toe 2014. The result of analysis shows the water quality environment standard. Specially, COD, total phosphorus(T-P), and total nitrogen(T-N) satisfy the first grade, and water system has been conserved safely. As any heavy metal of As, Cd, Cr6+, Cu, Hg, and Pb was not found, they ar likely to have little impact on water quality overall.
As variations by peak point, season, and water depth were not significant, the changes caused by physical and chemical impact are few or no, water system is very safe, and also there are no signs indicating changes of water quality.
Because Tae-an thermoelectric power plant can change an ecosystem near the west coast, we should continuously investigate, keep watch and also consider measures to conserve good water quality near that plant.
The counterplan is as follows.
First, we have to develop model for warmed draining diffusion prediction and warmed draining effect reduction facility in order to minimize the problem of the oceanic environmental change. Long term monitoring of near the power plant is also essential.
Second, waste water and scrapped materials discharged from plant should be managed thoroughly, Since the coal from the plant can cause dust and it can be flowed out to sea during loading, it also should be controlled throughly and the plant should be operated in an environment-friendly way. And an old model power plant must equip an up to date pollution prevention facility.
Third, currently No,9 and 10 of Tae-an thermoelectric power plant are being constructed for the facility expansion. Then they will be the extra-large size thermoelectric power complex. Therefore, natural purification ability should be measured through simulation and environmental pollution form the facility expansion should be supervised thoroughly. So it must strengthen and assessment of environmental impact.
This kind of power plant project should not only be satisfied with the environmental legal standard but also accompany an active counterplan in advance considering the development of areas near the plant. Above all, We should convince people to realize the seriousness and effect of the environmental pollution.
