廢炭鑛地의 山林毁損地復舊 및 廢石流失防止對策에 관한 硏究 = Evaluation for Rehabilitation Countermeasures of Coal-mined Spoils and Denuded Lands

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The project for rehabilitation and revegetation of the abandoned coal-mine lands is a very important national environmental restoration project in the view point of rehabilitation and revegetation of denuded forest-lands caused by coal mining as well as restoration of disturbed natural environment and control of the variable pollutions.
In Korea, because a large number of coal mines had been developed in order to fill up abundantly consumption of coal as a major energy source in the developing period, a lot of denuded forest-lands caused by coal mining had distributed in the whole country.
And, due to the absence of effective rehabilitation and revegetation works on the denuded forest-lands caused by coal-mining, most of them had been remained with being damaged.
In 1990, area of the abandoned coal-mine lands, requiring the rehabilitation and revegetation works, was about 1,437.1 ha. For the past ten years('90~'99), about 1,081.8 ha out of them had been rehabilitated and revegetated, and the rehabilitation planning area was about 33.0 ha in 2000. so, remaining area out of abandoned coal-mine lands will be about 322.3 ha after 2000.
In principle, after abandoning coal-mine, mine owners must carry out the rehabilitation and revegetation works on the abandoned mine lands by themselves. But, most of mine owner were in financial difficulty after abandoning coal-mine, so that principle couldn't have obtained the desired effects.
However, due to application of the "conventional erosion control measure and techniques" to the rehabilitation and revegetatino measures on the abandoned coal-mine lands, the results and effects of the works excuted have not been successful. Therefore, unique measures and techniques for rehabilitation and revegetationm of the abandoned coal-mine lands will have to be developed, especially including development of new techniques on the soil-dressing and soil-covering, seed spray and hydro-seeding measures with seed-fertilizer-soil materials as the mechanized measures, and using of new materials for the tree planting and seeding measures.
