DECLARATION
of 12 July 2005
amending the Order of the Czech Mining Authority No. 104 / 1988 Coll., on the economical use of exclusive bearings, on the authorisation and reporting of mining activities and reporting of mining activities, as amended
The Czech Mining Office provides pursuant to § 32 paragraph 5 of Act No. 44 / 1988 Coll., on the Protection and Use of Mineral Wealth (Mining Act), as amended by Act No. 541 / 1991 Coll., and pursuant to § 11 paragraph 3 of Act No. 61 / 1988 Coll.:
Decree No. 104 / 1988 Coll., on the economical use of exclusive bearings, on the authorisation and reporting of mining activities and reporting of mining activities, as amended by Decree No. 242 / 1993 Coll. and Decree No. 434 / 2000 Coll., is amended as follows:
1. in Article 6 (2) (e), "Annexes 9 and 10" shall be replaced by "Annexes 9, 10 and 12."
2. In Annex 9, point 1.2, after the words "intended purpose ', the words, including footnotes 13 and 14, shall be added:" and integrated repository assessment (13) as a summary of the sub-assessment of the storage site referred to in Annex 12 for the assessment of safe disposal of waste and safe insulation of the environment from the point of view of possible risk effects on human health and the environmental component of the site in which the storage site is located, carried out by a competent person with a certificate issued under a specific legislation14).
13) Council Directive 1999 / 31 / EC of 26.4.1999 on landfills. Council Decision 2003 / 33 / EC of 19.12.2002 laying down the criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills referred to in Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999 / 31 / EC.
14) Decree No. 298 / 2005 Coll., on requirements for professional qualifications and competence in mining or mining activities and amending certain legislation. '
3. The following Annex 12 is added, including footnote 15:
"Annex No 12 to Decree No 104 / 1988 Coll.
Risk assessment of the site where the repository is located
The operator of the installation shall submit an integrated repository assessment containing the following parts:
1. geological evaluation,
2. geometrical evaluation,
3. hydrogeological evaluation,
4. geochemical evaluation,
5. evaluation of the impact on human health and environmental aspects,
6. evaluation of the operational phase,
7. long-term evaluation;
8. assessment of the impact of receiving surface equipment;
1. Geological evaluation
Based on exploration and analysis of rock species, soil and topography, it shows a comprehensive knowledge of geological storage conditions. The location, frequency and structure of the cracks or fractures of the surrounding geological layer and possible influence of seismic activity on these structures should be included. Geological evaluation shall demonstrate the suitability of the underground storage site.
2. Geomechical Evaluation
The stability of the mine shall be demonstrated by appropriate surveys. The characteristics of the waste stored shall be included in this evaluation. The procedures shall be systematically analysed and documented.
It must be clear from the analysis that
(a) during the generation of the waste storage site and even after that, no major deformation of the underground premises or of the waste storage sites themselves is expected, nor of the earth's surface in the designated protected area of the site, which would damage the site's operational capacity or create a route of escape to the biosphere;
(b) the stability of underground geological structures at the waste storage site is sufficient to prevent their collapse during storage operations;
(c) the material stored will have sufficient stability compatible with the geomecological properties of the rock environment.
3. Hydrogeological Assessment
A survey of the hydraulic properties shall be carried out to determine the structure of the groundwater flow in the surrounding rock environment, on the basis of information on the hydraulic conductivity of rock, breaks and hydraulic gradients in order to avoid deterioration of groundwater quality. 15)
4. Geochemical Evaluation
A survey of the composition of the rock environment and groundwater shall be carried out to assess the current composition of the mining water and its possible future development, nature and abundance of broken minerals, as well as a quantitative mineralogical description of the rock environment, including an assessment of the impact of the storage (leaching) on the geochemical system.
5. Evaluation of the impact on human health and environmental aspects
The effects of waste storage on human health and environmental aspects shall be assessed. A basic study of the surface natural background in the site of the repository shall be carried out and the potential impact of its construction and operation on plants, animals and other protected natural objects shall be identified.
6. Evaluation of the operational phase
It must be clear from the analysis that
(a) the repository is stable;
(b) the risk of potential contact between waste and environmental components, including human health hazards, is addressed in the storage emergency plan;
(c) the risks related to the safety of the operation of the installation are an integral part of the processed and approved storage emergency plan;
(d) for reasons of workers' protection, waste is stored safely separate from mining and mining activities;
(e) the risk of loss of traffic permeability is acceptable in terms of environmental and human health.
The operational safety assessment shall be based on regular analyses of storage operations on the basis of all data on waste management. It shall be demonstrated that the waste will not react chemically or physically with the rock. Furthermore, it is necessary to identify specific cases that could lead to the creation of communication in the rock environment between waste and the environment during storage operations. The different types of operational risks, if any, should be summarised in specific categories and their potential effect evaluated. Measures to limit these effects shall be included in the emergency plan.
7. Long-term evaluation
The assessment of waste disposal risks shall cover a longer period of time. It shall be documented and guaranteed whether, in the long term, after temporary or permanent cessation of storage operations, there will be no communication in the rock environment between waste and environmental components, including effects on human health.
They shall be quantitatively assessed in the long term by limiting factors of the site of the repository such as waste quality, status of the rock, foundation, filling of wells, bundles, mining works, etc., and evaluated on the basis of specific site data or on the basis of a sufficiently qualified estimate, taking into account geochemical and hydrogeological conditions and natural dilution and leaching of stored waste.
The long-term safety of the waste storage site must be demonstrated by means of a safety assessment containing a description of the starting state at a certain time (e.g. at the time of closure), including a variant in which important changes that can be expected at geological time are outlined. In particular, the consequences of the release of the substances concerned from the waste storage site must be assessed in various variants which will show possible long-term developments affecting storage sites and environmental and human health components.
Used packaging and construction of mining works shall not be taken into account in assessing the long-term risks of waste storage due to their limited lifetime.
8. Evaluation of the influence of receiving surface equipment
Before the waste reaches underground, i.e. the final destination, it shall be landed, tested and, where appropriate, temporarily stored on the surface. Receiving equipment shall comply with landfill requirements and shall be designed and operated in such a way as to prevent damage to human health and the environment.
This Decree shall take effect on 1 August 2005.
