METHOD FOR BACKGROUND ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETER DETERMINATION TO PREVENT APPEARANCE OF EMERGENCY CONDITIONS IN POTASH MINES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mining industry, particularly for new potassium mine field development.

SUBSTANCE: method involves performing topographical survey of ground surface; carrying-out detailed exploration of the salt stratum; determining geologic environment conditions, potassium stratum structure and abnormal zone presence in waterproof layer on the base of the detained exploration; estimating hydrogeological development conditions in new mine field areas to be developed; detecting potential technogenic failure zones in above mine field areas located in territories adjoining neighboring mine fields, water pools and flooded mine excavations and in man's impact territories; determining structures of ground, air, surface and underground water in said potential technogenic failure zones; performing radiological survey and investigating bioresources and forest resource objects; working out and implementing environmental actions in the case of above background parameters change.

EFFECT: increased potassium field development safety.
