Abstract:
The paper presents the structure and sequence of geological-structural and hydrogeological modeling to forecast hydrogeological and geomechanical consequences when using tailings for the liquidation of mine workings. An approach to creating coupled geological-structural, geomechanical, hydrogeological, and hydrochemical models is described. The practical significance of the research is demonstrated by the example of the integrated mining system "Tominsky GOK – Korkinsky Coal Mine", where the use of tailings to backfill the mined-out space of the open-pit coal mine achieved zero wastewater discharge, eliminated endogenous fires, and ensured long-term environmental rehabilitation of the area.
Keywords:
mining system, environmental safety, project life cycle, geological-structural modeling, hydrogeological forecasting, water balance, implicit modeling, anthropogenic georesources, backfilling of mined-out space
