The hydrographic network in Lupoaia open pit depends on River Motru, with its afluents, Ploștina and Lupoița Valley Rivers. The aquifers are to be found in the coal layers V-XII, mainly of sands formation. The impact over water in Lupoaia consists of water pollution and of changes in both the quality and the quantity of ground and surface waters. The surface waters are polluted resulting in industrial wastewaters, household wastewaters and waste rainwater. The wastewater is polluted within maximum admitted limits. The quality of groundwaters is influenced and modified by extracting coal resulting in the extinction of some aquifers. Environmental risks that can occur when extracting lignite are water floods, landslides, disasters which can be prevented by building guard channels around the open pit. The actions for reducing the impact are, in general, accomplished through monitoring both the water pollutants and the morphological changes caused by extracting lignite. That is why wastewater treatment plants must function. The impact of the activity in Lupoaia open pit over the hydrographic net of the area is to be observed during the entire extracting period, and monitoring this activity is highly demanded by the European environmental protection laws.","PeriodicalId":18788,"journal":{"name":"Mining Revue","volume":"13 1","pages":"76 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80846176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the depth at which a deposit is located and the geological conditions allow, the exploitation of useful mineral substances is realized through open-pit mine. The aim of this paper is to analyze the malfunctions that could occur and cause susceptible incidents and that could have consequences on staff safety and the environment. These malfunctions can have different causes: either an internal origin of the mining unit, or in natural phenomena. In this paper are identified and analyzed the potential mining risks that may occur in the Roşia Poieni open pit mine. The guidelines underlying the identification of these risks took into account three main principles: reducing risks for people, ensuring their security and at the same time limiting the risks on the property, respectively the financial risk for the mining unit. Acknowledge these risks, allows the delimitation of areas that are directly or indirectly exposed to potential risks and the establishment of specific measures for prevention, protection and security regarding the realized activities. Depending on the potential mining risks identified, we have made a hazard map that can be used to develop a risk prevention plan, taking into account the presence of several types of risks that may overlap in the same work area of the quarry.","PeriodicalId":18788,"journal":{"name":"Mining Revue","volume":"475 ","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91457790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The only activity with a significant share in the area was the mining activity, which provided the population of Certeju de Sus commune and its surroundings with the means necessary for a decent living. In the case of tailings dumps, the soil suffers a combined impact - by removing large areas of land from the natural circuit and by generating acidic water. The geology and morphology of the region, characterized by the existence of surfaces with different slopes, are natural causes that attribute different levels of vulnerability to land at the onset of degradation processes by erosion, landslides and excess moisture. All these bring limitations in the use of land on the main uses: agricultural, forestry, construction, etc. The paper aims to provide solutions for the reuse of these lands, their use by recultivation, the search for plant species adaptable to soil conditions. A relatively small number of species were determined on the tailings dumps in the studied area, the spontaneous vegetation is visibly stressed by the existing conditions. As such, the method of ecological reconstruction of freshly deposited tailings dumps by the method of forest recultivation is proposed.","PeriodicalId":18788,"journal":{"name":"Mining Revue","volume":"37 1","pages":"34 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89044472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
