Drainage water formation of the Yakovlevsky mine (Yakovlevsky deposit, KMA) is considered, as well as the features of its discharge to soak away and thereto related ecological issues. Ways of drainage water treatment are presented. The particular focus is given to the project of its disposal in the high-head Lower Carboniferous aquifer using injection methods. Negative effects of this measure and nature of its impact on the water-protective layer, determining safety of mining operations, are stated.
Development’s conditions and sources of microorganisms in high-grade iron ore (HGIO) of Jakovlevsky deposit (KMA) were considered. Influence of watering, draining and contamina tion in iron ore on decreasing of shear strength and growth of bacterial mass were noticed. Dif ferent physiological groups and species composition of microorganisms in underground space were defined, and their influences on constructional materials which are used to coffer mine workings were studied.
