DECLARATION
Czech Mining Office
of 20 February 1992
on the establishment, operation, securing and disposal of waste storage facilities in underground areas
The Czech Mining Office pursuant to § 34 paragraph 4 of Act No. 44 / 1988 Coll., on the Protection and Use of Mineral Wealth (Mining Act), as amended by the Act of the Czech National Council No. 541 / 1991 Coll., provides:
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Subject matter
This decree implements the relevant provisions of the European Communities1) and regulates the details of the establishment, operation, securing and disposal of waste storage facilities in underground areas (hereinafter referred to as "storage") as a special intervention in the crust 2.
Definition of terms
For the purposes of this decree, they shall be considered as:
(a) waste storage - underground areas resulting from natural influences or mining or mining activities carried out in a mining way in which waste is stored;
(b) the establishment of storage sites - an activity leading to the creation of a waste storage site, i.e. the design, construction or reconstruction of underground spaces suitable as a waste storage site, including their search and exploration;
(c) the operation of storage sites - activities in the storage of waste in underground areas on the basis of operating rules;
(d) the provision of storage sites - the implementation of the necessary measures for the temporary cessation of the operation of the waste storage site;
(e) disposal of storage sites - implementation of the necessary measures aimed at permanently halting the operation of the waste storage site.
Storage of waste
(1) Legal and natural persons may deposit waste into the underground only on the basis of the authorisation obtained (3) and authorisation (4). The repository shall be expressed by the competent authority of the State administration in accordance with the special legislature5).
(2) The prior determination of the protected area under the special rules shall be a prerequisite for the authorisation. 6)
(3) Waste shall not be admitted to the waste storage site listed in the Annex ("waste excluded ').
(4) Only waste which complies with the requirements laid down in the specific legislation6a) for waste stored in landfills of the same group, to which the repository has been classified according to the results of the integrated assessment of the repository 6b) may be admitted to the waste storage. Wastes which might react to one another must be defined in the basic description of the waste by the producer and divided into groups according to their compatibility; individual groups must be separated in space at the storage site.
DISCLOSURE
Search and survey of waste storage sites
(1) Search and survey of waste storage sites may be carried out only on the basis of a permit issued under specific regulations. 7)
(2) In search and exploration, legal and natural persons shall:
(a) verify the territory of interest in such a way as to identify and evaluate a comprehensive geological situation;
(b) verify the development and storage conditions of the territory so that the design and construction of underground storage can take place according to the principles of mining technology, using all the favourable properties of the rock environment;
(c) to use methods and procedures to prevent or impede the subsequent use of the rock environment for underground waste storage purposes;
(d) identify the facts needed to assess the potential effects of the waste storage site on mineral deposits, water sources, the environment and other important public interests;
(e) in the event of interruption of the search and survey, implement measures to ensure that mining works are not thwarted and that further research is carried out.
Design and construction of waste storage sites
(1) The design, construction and / or reconstruction of waste storage sites are subject to construction regulations, (8) unless otherwise provided for in this Decree or in other legislation9).
(2) The documentation of the buildings referred to in paragraph 1 shall, in addition to the formalities laid down by other general rules, ensure:
(a) the optimal distribution of surface and underground structures, equipment and mining works;
(b) safety of operation and safety and health at work, securing of mining works, ventilation, pumping and drainage of mining waters, protection against explosions, drafts, fires and shocks, as well as against the ruptures of rocks and gases;
(c) addressing relations with other nationaleconomic sectors and public interests protected by special regulations, 10), not only in terms of direct consequences of the planned investment action, but also in terms of the consequences of the underground disposal of waste.
(3) The safety and health at work and the safety of operations in the establishment of underground waste storage sites, including the safety of used technical equipment and fire protection, are fully governed by a specific regulation. 11)
Operation of waste storage sites
(1) In the decision authorising the operation, the District Mining Authority sets out the conditions for the disposal and handling of waste in underground storage, in accordance with the conditions laid down by the competent authorities of the State Administration (5), on the basis of categorisation and characteristics of the waste stored in accordance with specific regulations. 12)
(2) The operator shall in particular:
(a) dispose of waste in accordance with a treated operating order which has been agreed by the competent authority of the state)
(b) keep records of the quantity, type and origin of waste taken for disposal. 13) In the prescribed map document4) mark the place of disposal of the waste,
(c) to prepare an emergency plan to combat serious accidents and accidents, 14)
(d) in the event that the waste stored can be used as a source of secondary raw materials or energy, ensure that the waste is stored in such a way as to prevent future recovery;
(e) carry out regular sampling of air and water and, according to the results of their analysis, check that there is no undesirable change in the properties of waste and its ecological hazards;
(f) to take operational measures to address and correct identified deficiencies and to create the conditions of operation necessary for the care of human health and the environment;
(g) to allow control authorities to access premises, premises and facilities and to provide documentation on request and to provide true and complete information on the facts relating to the operation of the underground waste storage site;
(h) activities related to the operation of underground waste storage sites by personnel for whom their competence has been verified; 15)
(ch) keep all its workers informed of the laws, regulations and other provisions related to the operation of waste storage sites, including safety and health at work, regularly verify their knowledge of those rules and constantly require and check compliance with them.
Safety of work and operation
(1) The safety and health at work and the safety of the operation of underground waste storage sites, including the safety of used technical equipment and fire protection, are governed by a specific regulation. 11)
(2) When the disposal of waste into underground areas is carried out in parallel with the extraction of commercial mineral, a separate Regulation (11) applies throughout the whole range.
(3) Unless the extraction of commercial mineral is carried out simultaneously and unless otherwise provided for by the Circular Mining Authority, this activity shall be covered by a separate Regulation (11), with the exception of:
