Information on land use is of great interest for large-scale limestone mining, since environmental impacts and interferences with ecological systems are substantially lower if mining activities consider bare grounds, such as exposed rock soils or deserts, or soils with sparse cover of bushes, shrubs and tufts of grass.

The environmental damage associated with mining is well-known, in terms of land clearing, ecosystem degradation, or water pollution. However, its effect on climate is less frequently considered.

A new evaluation model for geo-environmental impact assessment of mining (GEIAM) is proposed. The evaluation framework in this model considers three groups of criteria, namely, geo-hazards risks, environmental risks, and resource damages. Fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to establish a multiple-criteria …

2. Location and the Geology of the Area. Surrounding land use includes a natural ridge and valley to the south and west of the site, grazing and subsistence agriculture to the north, and the historical plant and stockpile area to the east (see Figure 1).The only major infrastructure in proximity to the site is the N2 highway which at its …

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a prominent technology to assess the environmental changes in the open cast Limestone mining region. However, …

The climate change impacts of mining are often not fully accounted for, although the environmental impact of mineral extraction more generally is widely studied. Copper mining can serve as a case ...

Limestone mining causes widespread disturbance in the environment. Myriad impacts are observed as changes in land use pattern, habitat loss, higher noise …

Limestone mining activities lead to environmental changes to a large extent. It is therefore imperative that a systematic study on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is carried out to...

The recent developmental activities (specifically industries and tourism) are adversely impacting the biodiversity of fragile ecosystem of Himalaya. Small scale mines of limestone's are prominent in the hills of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The mines of phosphorite, soapstone and magnesite are also active in these hills.

A final point should be noted that data uncertainties in environmental assessment over the complete life cycle of limestone quarrying operation have to be carefully considered. Keywords – Climate change; carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions; environmental impacts; GHG protocol; IMPACT 2002+; limestone mining; life cycle impact assessment (LCA) 1.
