CERTIFICATION OF WASTE HEAPS OF COAL MINING AREAS –THE BASIS FOR THE CREATION OF THEIR GIS-SYSTEMAND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Abstract

The article considers and analyzes the geographical distribution of waste heaps of the coal mining industry, physicochemical and exogenous geological processes that occur in the middle and on their surface. The influence of morphology, material composition,reclamation of waste heaps on the intensity of development of various technogenic-geological processes that negatively affect the environment is briefly considered. Recommendations on obligatory certification of waste heaps are given and the content of the passport is given. It is recommended to use different time sensing materials of the Earth for monitoring and certification of waste heaps.
