The problem of environmentally safe disposal of drainage waters of the «International» mine

Abstract

in the process of mining the indigenous diamond deposits of the tube "International" open and underground mine workings performed opening metegero-ichersky, tolbachansky aquifers and оlekminsky aquifer, which led to the formation of drainage brines. The existing underground mine flood protection system is built according to the classical scheme and consists of: drainage wells with controlled bypass devices, drainage wells without flow control devices, drainage grooves, precinct and main catchment areas and associated pumping stations. This method of disposal has several advantages that eliminated the possible negative impact on the environment and surface water, which could arise when choosing another method of disposal.
