DECLARATION
Ministry of Transport and Central Mining Office
of 11 March 1967
laying down rules on track contact with mining activities
The Ministry of Transport and the Central Mining Office, in agreement with the participating central authorities, provides, pursuant to Section 15 of Act No. 51 / 1964 Coll., on Railways:
(1) Mining activities within the meaning of Title 3 and 4 of Act No. 41 / 1957 Coll. may be carried out in the vicinity of the runway and within its perimeter only to the extent that proper maintenance of the runway and safety and continuity of its operation are not jeopardised.
(2) The effects of mining activity on the track body and track equipment must be uniform, non-bulky and of such size that the height and directional deformation of the track can be removed when fully ensuring the safety of operation and maintaining the required operational capacity of the track and the functional operation of the track operation equipment, in particular fixed traction and signalling equipment, must not be compromised or compromised.
(1) If mining activities are to be started or are to be brought to the vicinity of the runway or its perimeter closer to the work carried out in the context of mining, the effects of which may, in particular, affect the railway body and equipment of the runway, the mining undertaking is obliged to present to the railway undertaking a five-year plan or long-term outlook for the downturns.
(2) Before starting the relevant work on the plan for opening, preparing and quarrying, the mining undertaking shall submit a detailed calculation and evaluation of the mining effects on the track objects (§ 4 (2) (f) and agree with the railway undertaking whether the runway should be protected, to what extent and for what time the runway and operation will be affected. The agreement between the railway undertaking and the mining undertaking requires the approval of the Regional National Committee (District National Committee). *) If no agreement is reached between the railway undertaking and the mining undertaking, the management of the runway and the organisation directly superior to the mining undertaking shall discuss the possibility of mining activities; otherwise their central economic authorities shall decide.
(3) The mining undertaking is also obliged to obtain permission of the railway authority under Section 13 of Act No. 51 / 1964 Coll.
Measures aimed at ensuring the safety and continuity of the railway operation, in the case of mining activities, shall be laid down by the State Mining Authority in an agreement with the railway administration, in the case of rail and its operation, by the Railway Administration in an agreement with the State Mining Authority. * *)
(1) Before the decision on the railway measures is taken, the railway administrative authority will carry out the procedure under Article 21 of Decree No 52 / 1964 Coll. As a general rule, the local investigation will be carried out in conjunction with the investigation under the Mining Act. A joint local inquiry shall be convened by the State Mining Authority. * * *)
(2) The procedural documents are:
(a) the observations of the authorities of the State Mining Administration on the planned mining activities;
(b) a description and graphical representation of the storage conditions of the conquered mineral, including the power and composition of the parent layers;
(c) semi-hourly plans by reaching the territory concerned, indicating the route and its station;
(d) quoted cross-section sections of the runway, if necessary;
(e) a description of the runway (grooves, structures, namely bridges, passes, traction lines and equipment, signalling and communication equipment and overhead and storage lines), in particular in places requiring special protection;
(f) the necessary data on the course and final state of the expected downturns, for example from planned failures and with the data needed to assess the tension and pressure on railway structures, in particular on bridges and masts of traction lines (values of assumed shifts, tilting and curvature), not only in the continuous track axis but also on perpendicular to that axis to the distance of the runway protection zone, hydrogeological ratios, in particular the relation of the lower edge of the bridge structures to the surface of the 100-year water;
(g) the information by which it is possible to assess whether action on the runway or in the mining works is more effective;
(3) The supporting documents referred to in points (b), (c) and (f) of the preceding paragraph shall be submitted by the mining undertaking, the supporting documents referred to in points (d) and (e) shall be submitted by the railway undertaking and the data referred to in point (g) shall be submitted by the mining undertaking in agreement with the railway undertaking.
(4) In cases where there is no need to decide on the runway measures, since it is possible to save the railway body by normal means, the railway authority shall communicate an opinion to the State Mining Authority on the mining activity and make comments on the measures taken in the mining operation to ensure the safety and continuity of the railway operation, with a view to agreeing to a decision on measures in mining activities, if the comments are to be incorporated as the conditions of this Decision.
(5) The documents referred to in paragraph 2 shall be required by the railway administration only to the extent necessary for the decision.
The decision on runway measures should specify:
(a) the time course of the likely effects of mining activity on the grooves and grooves and their overall range;
(b) the manner in which these effects are disposed of while maintaining safe and smooth operation on the runway;
(c) the dates, manner and extent of the control measurements to be carried out by the mining undertaking with the participation of the railway undertaking;
(d) safety measures on the runway (emergency inspections of the railway section, lighting, telephone, etc.),
(e) finishing of the groove body and its surroundings to ensure normal operation on the track (e.g. drainage of the fallen territory).
The decision on measures in the mining activity will also specify the dates, manner and extent of the control measurements on the parts of the runway affected by the effects of the mining activity which the mining undertaking will be obliged to carry out with the participation of the railway undertaking.
(1) Between the circumference of the runway and the extreme edge of the opening (pits, mine stalls coming up to the surface) or the surface of a mining work situated at or below the track level, the safety belt must remain wide
(a) not less than 30 m from the surrounding wall of the groove buildings;
(b) at least 12 m from the base wall of bridges and viaducts;
(c) at least 6 m from the circumference of the track.
(2) The width of the protection zone is determined by the authority of the State Mining Administration in agreement with the railway authority, depending on the nature of the runway and the method of extraction. In doing so, the mining undertaking must demonstrate the stability of the terrain between the initial or surface mining work and the track circuit at the final stage.
(1) Deep-sea drilling for oil, gas or other drilling for which natural gas production can be expected shall not be established in the circumference of the runway and in the track protection zone.
(2) In a zone adjacent to the 100 m track protection zone, deep-sea drilling as referred to in paragraph 1 may be established only with the permission of the railway administration in accordance with the provisions of § 13 (2) of Act No. 51 / 1964 Coll., issued in agreement with the State Mining Authority.
(3) Mining organisations are obliged to take measures to ensure safety of operation on the gas or diesel eruption runway.
(1) The authorisation to establish a quarry in the railway protection zone is decided by the railway authority pursuant to § 13 (2) of Act No. 51 / 1964 Coll. with regard to the safety and integrity of operation of the track according to the location of the quarry. In order to carry out the shooting of all kinds, the railway authority shall determine the conditions which, together with the agreement of the railway authority, will be processed into the permit for the shooting.
(2) In the vicinity of the runway, the only way to allow the shooting is with increased safety measures. Shredding works (discharges) in which the departing material could fall into the circumference of the runway may be carried out only with the consent of the railway administration which lays down the conditions. After the discharge, the runway shall be immediately inspected by the staff member of the train undertaking and ensure the reliability of the runway operation.
(3) If the quarry is lower than the track, a protective belt with a width corresponding to the layering of the material shall be left between the heel of the groove and the upper edge of the quarry, at least in the width specified in Section 7 (1). If the quarry is higher than the runway and if it is not excluded through safety measures that stones and other material may fall onto the runway, protective walls, walls, etc.
(4) If the quarry is to be set up on steep walls above the runway, other appropriate safety measures should be maintained in terraces and degrees sufficiently wide or not. If the refraction can be brought down to the runway during operation, the operator of the refraction must ensure that any obstacles to the safety of the runway are removed as quickly as possible.
(1) According to Section 7, the establishment of clay and sandstone sites in the railway protection zone is also carried out. The permissible distance from the circumference of the track shall be determined according to the nature of the material in question, taking into account the angle of its natural inclination and the method of extraction.
(2) The roll-over of the track protection zone shall be treated accordingly, in particular with regard to the permissible distance from the track circumference, taking into account the angle of natural gradient of the spillage material and its quantity affecting the stability of the rail body (extruding the slope) and the weather effects.
(1) Mining works, mining structures below the surface and structures in coal quarries and shelters are authorised by the authority of the State Mining Administration with the approval of the railway administration. *) In assessing the impact of the mining activity and the resulting measures, the railway authority and the State Mining Authority shall take into account the expected effects of the mining activity during preparation and quarrying, as well as the resulting effects of the previously permitted failures on the runway until their complete completion.
(2) In the case of trains with electrical traction, the railway authority may agree to a mining activity only to the extent that the continuous interlocation of track and traction lines is maintained and any changes do not exceed the tolerances of technical standard ČSN 34 1540; The stability of the traction support shall not be compromised.
(3) In order to achieve the most favourable effects, mining activities should preferably be carried out in a large area to avoid adverse undermining effects (horizontal displacement denivelation).
(4) Corridors below the runway shall not be struck parallel to it at a depth less than 15 times the height of the corridor. Corridors embossed in other directions shall be securely secured and fully sealed with non-flammable material before disposal.
(5) In cases where a protective pillar is established for the protection of the runway, its width shall be determined with regard to the bearing and extension ratios, the back-up angle and the insurance distance (berme), which shall be determined according to the nature of the runway, at least 6 m from the circumference of the track or from the upper ditch.
When authorising railway structures and structures on railway tracks in and around mining areas, the railway administrative authority is obliged to follow also the provisions of § 28 of Act No. 41 / 1957 Coll.
(1) Prior to the temporary cessation or disposal of part of the mining work affecting the runway, the mining undertaking shall ensure the runway and its operation against the later harmful effects of the abandoned mining work and implement the measures provided for by the State Mining Administration in an agreement with the railway administration.
(2) This decree shall take effect on 1 May 1967.
