Complex exploration operations for the purpose of monitoring the influence of the flying and bottom ash depot Srednje Kostolačko ostrvo on the environment

Abstract

Based on the request by the Department of Environment Preservation, an order was given for the investment-technical documentation for implementation the remediation measures and to encompass the entire area of the flying and bottom ash depot on the location Srednje Kostolačko ostrvo. In order to define the project criterion for protection the ash depot, with the purpose of conducting the measures of remediation, it was necessary to make the Geotechnical Exploration Project. The Project is aimed to determine the exploration operations which will define the geological, engineering-geological and hydrogeological terrain characteristics. The designed exploration operations encompassed the field explorations and appropriate laboratory tests. The obtained results would enable to review the impact of the flying and bottom ash depot on the environment, and also to secure the relevant basis for further mining, construction, technological and all other projects at the locations in question.
