Soil and groundwater at a rail rolling stock workshop in a metropolitan city were contaminated with heavy metals including Pb, Cu and Cd. Prior to remedial design, a variety of field and laboratory investigations were conducted to characterize hydrogeologic conditions and to examine levels and extents of the contamination. The hydrogeology of the studied site near the Han River is comprised of reclamation soil, alluvial deposit, weathered layer and soft rock. The alluvial deposit consists of sand, clay and silt, sandy gravel and its spatial distribution is very heterogeneous. Most groundwater occurs in the sandy gravel layer and groundwater within the site generally flows into two directions, north and west. Mean hydraulic gradients were 0.082-0.0129 and hydraulic conductivities of the main aquifer range between 5.42 × 10- 2 and 2.18 × 10- 6 cm/sec. Average linear velocity of groundwater was calculated as 15-24 m/year. The groundwater levels were mostly affected by atmospheric pressure change, which reflected confined characteristics of the aquifer system. High EC and low DO indicated anthropogenic contamination of the site. The Pb and Cu contamination of soil exceeding the Korean soil standards were mainly observed at locomotive inspection, rest train wash and scrap iron dump areas. Substantial contamination of groundwater with Cd was also detected at different location. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
