Abstract:
In South Africa, the right to a clean environment is constitutionally guaranteed. However, this right is being violated on a daily basis by the mining companies who degrade and harm the environment in the communities they operate. Even though laws have been put in place to regulate, protect and deter degradation, the reality is that the mining companies have been found wanting several times in discharging their constitutional obligations not to degrade and harm the environment. This paper examines impacts and effects of the mining activities. It also looks at the legislative interventions that have been put in place to serve as checks against the mining companies and provides insights on how they are being used to regulate harmful mining practices.

Abstract:
Present day lead pollution is an environmental hazard of global proportions. A correct determination of natural lead levels is very important in order to evaluate anthropogenic lead contributions. In this paper, the impact of mining and smelting of lead metal ores on environmental quality is described. Globally mines produce large amounts of waste because the ore is only a small fraction of the total volume of the mined material. In the metal industry, production of lead, causes the greatest degradation of the environment. Lead smelters release large quantities of Cd and Pb into the environment as well as smelting and refining produce gaseous (CO2, SO2, NOx, etc.) and particulate matter emissions, sewage waters, and solid wastes; however, these pollutants take a lead to effects human health. A quantitative evaluation of the environmental health effects of lead mining and smelting is difficult because of the complexity of factors involved and lack of consistent methodology. Nevertheless, the investigation indicates that negative health effects could arise from lead mining and smelting.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to estimate an empirical model of demand for environmental characteristics for the Green Valley community and to evaluate environmental impacts of mining on the community. Environmental impacts are estimated by two different methodologies: An hedonic price model for housing and a contingent valuation based upon a sample survey of Green Valley residents. Variables that serve as proxies for environmental characteristics in hedonic prices and willingness to pay equations are distance from mining complex and orientation of house (viewscape). These variables are proxies for environmental air quality and scenic quality. Inverse demand equations for environmental variables are derived from the hedonic and contingent valuation analysis. Using these demand relations, environmental impact of mining is estimated as the consumers surplus from environmental quality improvements in Green Valley. In this dissertatlon, consumer surplus is an approximation to the sum of individual surpluses, which allows for variations in specific levels of the specific variables across the individual household. Based upon the number of detached single family homes, the environmental impact of mining on the Green Valley community is estimated by the contingent valuation approach to be approximately $44,000,000 and by the hedonic price approach to be approximately $94,000,000. When impact is based upon total units (detached and nondetached), the environmental impact is estimated by contingent valuation to be approximately $88,000,000 and by the hedonic price approach to be approximately $191,000,000. Perhaps, these estimates bound the actual impact.

Abstract:
Most of the nitrogen load from a mine originates from nitrogen-containing explosives used in the mining that do not explode perfectly. Some of the chemicals in the enrichment process may also contain nitrogen and these compounds may dissolve in the process water. A certain amount of the dissolved explosive residues and process chemicals will be discharged in runoff and excess water into downstream water bodies, where the resulting increase in nutrients may cause eutrophication. The thesis first presents the Suhanko mine expansion project and its current situation. The literature review that follows then takes up several central themes. It begins with a description of the explosives generally used in rock blasting and their dissolving properties, noting that the water resistance of different explosives varies significantly. Next, the review presents the principles of open pit mining, the reasons of nitrogen emissions in blasting, and methods for reducing emissions. In this connection, the thesis provides an account of the techniques currently used for nitrogen removal in operating mines and the range of possible techniques. One objective of the research was to determine the nitrogen mass balance of the Suhanko mine when it is extended as planned. The estimates presented draw on calculations of the water balance for the project’s environmental impact assessment (EIA) as well as on the values in the literature for the proportion of undetonated explosives in mining. The consumption of explosives at Suhanko estimated in the thesis uses data from a pre-feasibility study of the project and from the EIA report. The calculations of nitrogen loads are based on monitoring data from an operating metal ore mine similar to that planned in Suhanko; for example, the reference mine uses the same types of explosives. The results indicate that most of the explosive residues at Suhanko will migrate to the waste rock stockpiling areas; the second largest proportion will end up in the concentrator plant in the extracted ore and recirculated drainage water; and the third most significant percentage will migrate to the stockpiling areas for low-grade ore. The results of the nitrogen balance calculations show that runoff waters from the waste rock stockpiling areas will contain a maximum of 11 mg N/l. The annual nitrogen load from the different waste rock areas will vary between 0.43 and 8.02 t. Excess mine water will be discharged from the flotation tailings pond into Takalampi Pond, and the annual nitrogen load from this operation under different water balance scenarios will vary from 17.6 to 74.3 t. The experimental part of the research studied the extent to which the peatland areas near the proposed waste rock areas might be suitable for wetland treatment of mine runoff water. The related fieldwork involved measuring in situ hydraulic conductivity and taking peat samples. The samples were analyzed to determine the degree of humification, water content and ash content of the peat, and a chemical characterization was performed as well. The slopes of the peatland areas with potential as treatment wetlands were estimated using laser scanning data from the Suhanko area and their surface areas were calculated based on the aerial photographs. In situ measurements indicated higher hydraulic conductivity in the uppers layer of the peatlands; the values decreased significantly below depths of 50 cm. The degree of humification varied at different depths: in the upper layers, the peat was generally weakly decomposed or undecomposed; in the deeper layers, it was more decomposed. For the most part of peatlands, the slopes are less than 10‰, but in some areas they exceed 25 ‰. The field studies identified peatlands near the Ahmavaara and Konttijärvi South waste rock areas that meet the technical requirements for conversion into treatment wetlands
Suurin osa kaivoksen typpikuormituksesta on yleensä peräisin louhinnassa käytettävistä typpeä sisältävistä räjähdysaineista, jotka eivät räjähdä täydellisesti. Jotkin rikastusprosessissa käytettävät kemikaalit saattavat myös sisältää typpeä, ja typpiyhdisteitä voi liueta rikastusprosessin vesiin. Osa räjähdysainejäämien ja kemikaalien sisältämästä typestä kulkeutuu ympäristöön kaivosalueelta ulos johdettavien vesijakeiden mukana ja ravinteiden määrän kasvaminen voi aiheuttaa rehevöitymistä vastaanottavassa vesistössä. Aluksi tässä työssä esitellään Suhangon kaivoshankkeen laajennusprojekti ja sen nykytilanne. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa käsitellään louhinnassa yleisesti käytettäviä räjähdysaineita ja niiden liukenemisominaisuuksia ottaen huomioon, että eri räjähdysaineiden vedenkesto-ominaisuudet poikkeavat merkittävästi. Työssä esitellään avolouhintamenetelmän periaatteet ja louhinnan aiheuttamien typpipäästöjen syitä sekä niiden vähentämiskeinoja. Lisäksi työssä käsitellään kaivostoiminnassa nykyisin käytössä olevia typenpoistotekniikoita ja käytettävissä olevia mahdollisia tekniikoita. Tämän työn tavoitteena oli muodostaa typpitase Suhangon kaivoshankkeen laajennukselle. Typpitase perustuu kaivoksen YVA-selostuksessa esitettyihin vesitaselaskelmiin ja kirjallisuuden pohjalta tehtyyn arvioon louhinnassa räjähtämättä jäävän räjähdysaineen määrästä. Räjähdysaineen käyttömäärää Suhangon kaivoksella on arvioitu esikannattavuusselvityksessä esitettyjen louhintasuunnitelmien ja YVA-selostuksessa arvioitujen tuotantomäärien pohjalta. Kuormituslaskelmissa on hyödynnetty louhintamenetelmältään vastaavan metallimalmikaivoksen tarkkailutuloksia, jossa louhinnassa käytettävä räjähdysaine on vastaavantyyppinen kuin mitä Suhangon kaivoksella on suunniteltu käytettävän. Tehtyjen laskelmien perusteella suurin osa räjähdysainejäämistä kulkeutuu sivukivialueille, toiseksi suurin osa rikastamolle sekä malmin että kuivanapitoveden mukana ja osa kulkeutuu myös marginaalimalmin varastointialueelle. Typpitaselaskelmien perusteella sivukivialueilta purettavien aluevesien typpipitoisuus on enimmillään noin 11 mg/l. Aluevesien vuosittainen typpikuormitus eri sivukivialueilta toimintavaiheen aikana vaihtelee 0,43 tonnin ja 8,02 tonnin välillä. Vaahdotuksen rikastushiekka-altaalta typpeä poistuu vesistöön ylitevesien mukana Takalammen suuntaan ja ylitevesien vuosittainen typpikuormitus eri vesitaseen tarkastelutilanteissa vaihtelee 17,6 ja 74,3 tonnin välillä. Työn kokeellisessa osiossa tutkittiin suunniteltujen sivukivialueiden läheisyydessä sijaitsevien turvealueiden soveltuvuutta sivukivialueiden valumavesien kosteikkokäsittelyyn. Maastokäynnin aikana turvealueilta mitattiin in situ hydraulinen johtavuus ja alueilta otettiin turvenäytteitä. Turvenäytteistä määritettiin turpeen maatuneisuus, vesipitoisuus ja tuhkapitoisuus. Potentiaalisten turvealueiden kaltevuuksia arvioitiin laserkeilausaineiston pohjalta ja niiden pinta-alat määritettiin ilmakuvien perusteella. In situ mittausten perusteella hydraulinen johtavuus on korkeampi turpeen yläkerroksissa ja laskee huomattavasti alle 50 cm syvyyksissä. Turpeen maatuneisuus tutkituilla turvealueilla vaihteli eri syvyyksillä. Pintakerroksissa turve oli pääsääntöisesti heikosti maatunutta ja syvemmissä kerroksissa voimakkaammin maatunutta. Laserkeilausaineiston pohjalta määritetyt kaltevuudet osoittavat, että turvealueiden kaltevuudet ovat pääosin alle 1 ‰, mutta joissain osissa turvealueita kaltevuus on yli 25 ‰. Kenttätutkimusten perusteella Ahmavaaran ja Konttijärven eteläisen sivukiven läjitysalueen lähellä on kosteikkokäyttöön soveltuvia turvealueita, koska ne täyttävät kosteikoille annetut tekniset vaatimukset

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of mining and tourism industries in China with a goal of understanding whether or not these two sectors are mutually compatible in achieving sustainable developme nt. Yunnan, a province in southwest China was selected as the study area because of its high potential for growth in both sectors. A macro-level Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis and a case study were employed to understand patterns of change and linkages. Paper 1 addresses the spatial patterns of mining and tourism activities by a GIS analysis. Spatial cluster analysis of major tourism attractions and mining sites concludes that 1) mining sites tend to be clustered, whereas locations of tourism attractions do not exhibit any significant evidence of aggregation. 2) Mining and tourism sites tend to cluster at the scale of 25 kilometers to 45 kilometers. However, 3) mining/tourism sites relatively far away from each other attain more economic income. Incorporating the social context and development history of the study area, the results imply that although mining activities may have some negative impact on tourism attractions making those nearby a mining site earn less income; some factors tie the two industries together such as investing capacity of and policy support from local government. Paper 2 considers the environmental health and socioeconomic status of the areas where mining or tourism activities cluster. Statistical analysis on prefecture level and county level detects no significant difference between areas of mining and tourism in terms of economic status (GDP and poverty rate) and social development (ratio of researchers, agricultural technicians, teachers and doctors, and access to pipe water, major roads and telephone). For environmental indicators, the air pollution and soil erosion index perform better in tourism areas than mining areas, while other variables including forestry coverage, water quality and an overall ecological health index detect little difference between mining and tourism areas. The paper concludes that sector difference in economic and environmental performances may be over-emphasized. How mining and tourism contribute to or impact the sustainability of regional development needs to be further studied within the local context. Paper 3 develops a case study of a Tibet village called Jisha in northwest Yunnan to explore management as a factor influencing tourism impacts on environment and local economic productivity. Jisha village experiences two types of tourism development. A community based small-scale tourism development project, initiated by a local nongovernment organization, aims to partner with Jisha residents to build a Tibetan style hostel which will bring tourism income to the villagers. An external company plans to construct a hotel, golf course and chair- lift by making a large investment in the community. Although some aspects of this project are likely to benefit the local community better than others, local residents are resisting all development efforts. Results of the ethnographic study show organization- led projects work better in benefiting local people and conserving environment than corporation businesses. However, such ventures may not have the multiplier effect on the local economy as external corporate businesses because of the moderate size of the investment.

Abstract:
As the pressures on the environment created by humanity increase, understanding how products influence a person’s overall impact becomes more important in order to make choices about how a person chooses to consume. Recent literature shows that household consumption is responsible for 51% to 81% of a nation’s total emissions (Ivanova, Stadler, et al. 2016). This study investigates whether expenditure is a viable proxy measurement for consumer impacts in Europe. Without knowledge about the relative impacts of consumer expenditure on the environment, European citizens cannot make conscious choices regarding their expenses and how they relate to environmental impact, while policy-makers have no basis to develop tailored environmental policy mechanisms. This study combined Input-Output Analysis, Data Mining, and Regression Analysis to check if a correlation between expenditure and impact exists. The results are contextualised in consumption categories. Results from Input-Output Analysis suggest that Housing, Food, and Transport are the largest categories of expense throughout Europe. While expenses vary significantly throughout Europe, common trends emerge. Pattern Recognition and Cluster Analysis algorithms show that expenditure habits differ especially between north-west, east, south, and coastal Europe. Each of the four groups consists of between six and eleven nations. In general, lower economic development indicates higher expenditure in Housing and Food, while higher economic development indicates higher expenditure in Recreation & Culture, and Goods & Services. Coastal Europe spends more on Restaurants & Hotels, and Education. The expenditures were translated to four environmental impacts; Global Warming Potential, Land Use, Material Use, and Blue Water Consumption. Next, correlation between expenditure and environmental impact was checked using Regression Analysis. The analysis showed that out of the twelve expenditure categories, Clothing & Footwear and Furnishing & Household, showed a significant correlation between expenditure and the four impact categories. Food, Alcohol & Tobacco, and Recreation & Culture showed significance in two impact categories, and Transport showed significance in one category. In total 15 out of the 48 (31%) tested impact categories showed significance. Using the identified groups, the amount of impact categories that show correlation with expenditure grows to 44%, and up to 68%. Unfortunately, given the size of these groups, these results are not statistically significant. That said, the method shows promise, and further research with a larger scope could produce statistically significant results.
Allt eftersom trycket på miljön som skapas av mänskligheten ökar blir det mer och mer viktigt att ha förståelse för hur produkter påverkar en persons totala påverkan för att göra val om hur en person väljer att konsumera. Senare litteratur visar att hushållens konsumtion är ansvarig för 51% till 81 % av landets totala utsläpp (Ivanova, Stadler, et al. 2016). Denna studie undersöker om utgifterna är en genomförbar proxy-mätning för konsumentpåverkan i Europa i hopp om att ge konsumenterna mer kunskap om sina konsumtionsvanor och hur dessa påverkar miljön. Detta görs genom att kombinera inputoutput-analys, datamining och regressionsanalys för att kontrollera om det finns en betydande korrelation mellan utgifter och effekter. Resultaten är kontextualiserade i COICOPkategorier. Resultaten från analysen för input-output tyder på att bostäder, mat och transport är de största kostnadskategorierna i hela Europa. Utgiftsbeloppet varierar avsevärt i hela Europa, trots att trenden dyker upp. Mönsterigenkänning och klusteranalys algoritmer visar att utgiftsvanor skiljer sig särskilt mellan nordvästra, östra, södra, och kusten av Europa. Var och en av de fyra grupperna best˚ar av mellan sex och elva nationer. I allmänhet indikerar lägre ekonomisk utveckling högre utgifter f¨or bostäder och livsmedel, medan högre ekonomisk utveckling indikerar högre utgifter inom rekreation & kultur och varor & tjänster. Europas kust spenderar mer på restauranger & hotell och utbildning. Miljöpåverkan av alla utgifter beräknades med fyra kategorier för miljöpåverkan; Global uppvärmningspotential, markanvändning, materialanvändning och blå vattenförbrukning. Därefter kontrollerades sambandet mellan utgifter och miljöpåverkan med hjälp av regressionsanalys. Analysen visade att utav de tolv utgiftskategorierna hade kläder & skor samt inredning och hushåll betydande samband mellan utgifterna och de fyra effektskategorierna. Mat, alkohol & tobak och rekreation & kultur var signifikanta i två effektskategorier, och transport visade var signifikant i en kategori. Totalt var 15 av de 48 testade påverkanskategorierna signifikanta. Det här är 31%. Med hjälp av de identifierade grupperna ökar beloppet av effektskategorier som korrelerar med utgifterna från 44% upp till 68%. Det är viktigt att notera att med tanke på storleken av dessa grupper är dessa resultat inte statistiskt signifikanta. Däremot verkar metoden vara lovande. Ytterligare forskning med större omfattning skulle kunna ge statistiskt signifikanta resultat.

Abstract:
The deep seabed until the late sixties was a largely unknown part of the sea and represented nothing more than an academic curiosity. With technology making hitherto hidden depths of the ocean accessible for exploitation, it became known in the late sixties that the deep seabed contained precious minerals. In a world used to shrinking resources, this shot the deep seabed into the centre stage of world politics, becoming perhaps the most controversial issue in any United Nations Conference. The controversy centered around the legal status of the deep seabed. This work contends that there is not in place any viable international legal regime for supervising and regulating resource development in the deep seabed outside national jurisdiction; that whatever regulations there are, are geared towards facilitating exploitation of the area; that such lacunae would be at an environmental cost that could negate whatever short-term benefits are derivable therefrom.
This work therefore examines the potential environmental impact of deep seabed mining and proposes a legal regime for preventing and minimizing same.

Abstract:
Contentions that expansion of the British coal mining industry into predominantly rural areas may pose serious threats to agriculture and food production are reviewed in the light of the available evidence. It is considered that, whilst the severity of impacts and rate of future development may have been overstated, the conflicts are sufficiently significant to warrant close examination. Further, land use planners are responding for the first time to mining proposals affecting entire coalfields, thus making it essential to establish the correct principles of development from the outset. It is noted that past assessments of agricultural impacts have failed to reflect their diverse and pervasive nature, thus necessitating the identification of more appropriate methods of forecasting. In the light of current weaknesses in practice, it is argued that a formal system of impact assessment may prove necessary. Those characteristics of mining operations and associated end-uses which are likely to affect agriculture are analysed, as are those aspects of the farm enterprise most vulnerable to disruption. These various characteristics are then used as a basis for the assessment of mining-agriculture impacts. A review of the strategic nature of impacts arising from mining programmes is considered desirable, and limited proposals are made regarding assessment at this scale. More detailed consideration is given to an appraisal framework for individual mining proposals, and this is tested in relation to part of the 'Vale of Belvoirl coalfield. It is concluded that, although further methodological refinements and field investigations are necessary, the early implementation of an impact assessment procedure is nevertheless justified.

Abstract:
Seafloor massive sulfides have been a subject of interest for profitable commercial mining these ten years. However, less information is available for both the baseline ecosystems in the distribution areas and the environmental impacts on them caused by the mining. Owing to growing concern for the global and local environments, the quantitative understanding of the environmental impacts, the systematic environmental assessment, and the effective control and regulation methods of seafloor massive sulfide mining must be clarified. A systematic approach necessary for the clarification is discussed. An example design of artificial impact experiment and the monitoring are introduced. An international initiative is proposed.

Abstract:
Various unconventional natural resources (e.g. seafloor massive sulfide, methane hydrate and manganese nodules) existing on and under the seafloor will possibly be mined in the near future. When mining these deep sea resources, it is necessary to monitor the environmental impacts of seafloor mining. Environmental impacts have been usually monitored by mooring systems or stations put on the seafloor. Mooring systems consist of floats, sinker and sensors. Their heights rang e from one hundred meters to several kilometers. In order not to entangle in the mining machine and the support cable, it is impossible to put the mooring systems within the distance of their heights from points of the operation safety. The stations consist of a frame and sensors. Their heights are about a few meters. Therefore, we are able to put the stations near the mining point, but we can’t observe the upper water layer. In this study, we have developed a new platform to observe the environmental condition near the mining point and the upper layers of the seafloor. The developed platform consists of frame, sinker, releaser, winch, battery and sensor assembly. Because the size of this is 2 × 2 × 2 m, we can put this near the mining point. The sensor assembly is moved from the seafloor up to 150 m by the winch. This platform can automatically observe the environmental condition for several months without external power supply by using the internal battery. Therefore, we can automatically observe the environmental condition near the mining point and the upper layer by using this new developed platform. The platform is also effective for environmental monitoring near deep-sea petroleum exploitation points.

Abstract:
Seafloor Massive Sulfides (SMS) including Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, and Pb exist in exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of the Pacific island countries. Some of SMS are interested in as immediate targets for commercial mining ventures. Little information, however, is available for the mining impacts on marine ecosystem, because no actual deep-sea mining operation is there in the world. In case of SMS, in addition, some of them accompany active hydrothermal vents beside the possible mining sites. High primary biomass production and dense ecosystem population on seafloor are found around the vent system. On the basis of physical, chemical, and biological baseline survey data, Nautilus Minerals submitted an environmental impact statement for the Solwara 1 Project to Papua New Guinea (PNG) Government. The other approach is the environmental impact assessment program for SMS mining driven by Japan. In contrast with PNG, the feature of Japan’s program is the step-by-step process for the assessment. The importance of the step-by-step process is introduced in detail.

Abstract:
CONTEXT: Social Licence to Operate (SLO) encompasses the broad socio-political understanding on the part of multiple stakeholders that a mining operation’s social and environmental impacts and measures are legitimate and acceptable. The multiple and variously interacting stakeholder groups— local communities, environmental actors, Indigenous communities, regulators, local governments, industry peak bodies, financiers, affiliated businesses—have the proven capacity to confer and/or disrupt a mining operation’s SLO. The presence or absence of a SLO can have significant consequences not only for stakeholder groups, including the mining operation, but also for the shared development of a good mining future. Conceptualisation of what is ‘good mining’ is central to future planning and decisions around development, adoption and reception of new technologies and sustainable mining futures. CHECKLIST PURPOSE This first of its kind tool seeks to facilitate genuine multistakeholder interactions and development of a dynamic shared SLO to advance good mining.

Abstract:
The transition to renewable energy and a digital economy increases the demand for minerals. The development impact of resource extraction is the green economy’s Achilles heel. The Resource Impact Dashboard (RID) is an evidence-based policy instrument to encourage constructive dialogue between stakeholders about concerns related to economic, social, environmental and institutional outcomes of industrial mining. Results from the pilot-phase corroborate the necessity and the promises of public monitoring and deliberation.
