| 摘要 | Soil and groundwater contamination at Korean and U. S. military bases has been recently reported, and especially, responsibility for cleaning up of soil and groundwater contamination at returning U. S. military bases has been a social issue with criticism in South Korea over the past decade. Among administrative measured contamination sites of the Special Soil Contamination Management Facilities(SSCMF) by the Ministry of Environment, 8% is the military facilities mostly contaminated with Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon(TPH). Soil and groundwater contamination sites of the Korean military bases have been cleaned up. Eighty of the U. S. military bases have already returned or planned to return to Korea at the time of September 2017. Fifty four bases were already returned and the 26 are planned to return. For reviewing the U. S. overseas environmental policy and returning military bases case studies, it would be consistent in the United States government to burden the clean-up cost of the U. S. military base closures to the Korean government. This study tries to apply the ‘Polluters pay principle’ for clean-up of the U. S. military base closures and considers various approaches; however, it would not be feasible due to the U. S. overseas environmental policy and the SOFA between South Korea and the U. S. For planned U. S. military returning bases, it seems no other way but Korea investigates and cleans-up the contaminated sites at her own expense; however, it is necessary to should negotiate revision of the SOFA and the environmental agreements so that Korea has access to the U. S. military bases and site information and the United States will be liable for environmental pollutions at all U. S. bases, including the U. S. military bases in Pyeongtaek. To do so, the willingness of the Korean government should be enhanced. Based on rational principles and logic, negotiations between Korea and the United States should be continued for the benefits of both countries. Regarding site contamination, strict enforcement of Soil Environment Conservation Act and its intra- and/or international public affairs should be established not only for the U. S. military returning bases but also for the Korean military bases. |
