SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER IN THE MARITSA IZTOK COMPLEX
Abstract
Open cast coal mining is inevitably accompanied by a significant technological interference in the environment. This requires the due (during the technological process) restoration of the disrupted balance and the forming of a new environment consistent with the ecological requirements. Environment protection is one of the priority tasks for Mini Maritsa Iztok EAD. The environment protection legislation in force is strictly observed at the Company. The use of water to support mining operations, and waste water represents a significant challenge to Mini Maritsa Iztok EAD. In order to protect water intakes from released mine water The Company has own monitoring for surface water and groundwater and Simultaneously, water monitoring is performed by the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water from more than twenty monitoring points for water sampling - from wells, piezometers and ponds. These monitoring program prevent the risk of pollution of rivers, ponds and groundwater around our company. Following this policy, environmental protection in general, and groundwater and surface water protection in particular is one the priority tasks aimed at the improvement of their status and the development of flora and fauna in this environment.
