7. Unstable Mine Slopes

8. Unstable Mine (Pit) Slopes
Problems with Mine-Closure in East Germany:
„Lunar Landscapes“
Unstable Mine (Pit) Slopes
Toxic Waste Dumps
Disturbed Water Balance

9. R & D
Capacities
Government
Private Companies

10. Specifics of R & D Projects for Mine Rehabilitation
Results had to be quickly implemented
Mine closure happened in a large area simultaneously
Different conditions required complex
action strategies
Strict financial frame

B. Technologies for the geotechnical stabilisation
and the rehabilitation of the water balance in
the former mining regions
C. Clean up of toxic waste dumps in mining
areas
