2 Introduction: impact assessment and spatial planning problems specific to mining PLANNING: DPSIR framework for mining impacts Conceptual framework developed by EEA for environmental assessment and reporting D RIVING FORCES demand for mineral resources P RESSURES mineral resource exploitation waste production emissions pollution natural resource degradation life quality degradation landuse conflicts I MPACTS natural background historical pollution baseline other landuses S TATE R ESPONSE impact/risks reduction regulations good management practice remediation source receptor pathway

3 PLANNING: Life Cycle Analysis Life cycle of mineral commodity (on-site) prospecting extraction treatment storage Life cycle of mine project development exploration production closing remediation

4 PROBLEMS SPECIFIC TO MINING 1. Exploration: the geological environment Spatial problem: 3D Non-renewable natural resources Natural background FOREGS Underground: high information uncertainity

5 2. Exploration:preparing for mining environmental impacts collected data useful for environmental protection Investigations during mine exploration project Long-term exploration

6 3. Development and environmental planning secondary / indirect impacts Mineral deposit no alternatives for location Mining: brings infrastructure and industry Mining: brings infrastructure and industry other industries: use infrastructure CLOSING !! Concession right actual mining: long-term delay

7 4. Operation All mining projects are unique (deposit type:confined vs. disperse, etc; open vs. underground; etc) change of technology Operation for several decades HISTORIC MINING pollution Natural background Baseline pollution Natural background Baseline Processing in place Collected data useful for environmental protection Market change of mineral mined Market by-products Long-term suspension

8 5. Closing and Remediation Reopening as market prices change Huge amount of waste Long-term monitoring Underground can never be fully restored Perfect remediation impossible: Huge amount of waste Underground Natural background Perfect remediation impossible: Huge amount of waste Underground Natural background

9 Spatial aspects for regional planning 3D problem geology, hydrogeology, mineral chemistry spatial uncertainty 3D problem geology, hydrogeology, mineral chemistry spatial uncertainty PRESSURE Emissions Hazard: local/point source REGIONAL ASPECTS STATE Environment Geology of mineral deposit (natural background) Groundwater system IMPACTS smelters (air) historic mine regions (soil, water, society) RESPONSE Society Regional planning: SEIA Regional/EU legislation
