China 410128 * Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper presents the evaluation of the possibility to use the water from five quarry lakes located in County Strzelin for the purposes of agricultural irrigation. The evaluation was based on the guidelines provided by FAO and in PN-84/C-04635. The average values of water quality indicators were as follows: electrical conductivity – × -1 × -3 0.365 mS cm ; Sodium Adsorption Ratio – 0.75; Total Dissolved Solids – 233.9 mg dm ; water pH – 7.8; BOD5 × -3 × -3 – 1.6 mgO2 dm , while the average ion concentrations were: nitrates – 1.6 mgN-NO3 dm ; sulphates – 188.5 mg × -3 × -3 × -3 × -3 SO4 dm ; chlorides – 30.95 mg Cl dm ; sodium 22.6, mg Na dm ; manganese – 0.05 mg Mn dm ; and iron – 0.04 mg Fe×dm-3. The values of the analysed indicators were similar to the concentrations noted in natural lakes and unloaded water reservoirs. The water from the analysed quarry lakes met (with some minor limitations) the requirements that enable its use for agricultural irrigation, in particular sprinkler irrigation.

Two quarries were selected as case studies, which are located in the Evros Region (NE Greece). Initially, the current state of the abandoned quarries was recorded and evaluated, including slopes, landscape, land use, as well as cultural elements. Four alterative scenarios for the exploitation of each quarry were proposed, taking into account the specifics of each site. Financial, environmental, and socioeconomic criteria were then used to evaluate these scenarios. The PROMETHEE method is a multi-criteria decision analysis approach and was applied to rank the alterative scenarios. The results show that the “do nothing” scenario is the worst solution for both quarries. In the quarry at Asvestades, the restoration of the area by returning the land to pre-quarry use with the shaping of the slopes and planting is considered the best solution. On the other hand, in the quarry Mikro Derio two scenarios are proposed; one provides restoring the site to its pre-quarry land use and the other is the restoration of the quarry combined with the creation of a wildlife observatory and places for alternative forms of tourism.

Therefore, it is essential to find new materials with a lower environmental impact to achieve sustainable buildings. The objective of this study was to carry out the life cycle analysis (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impacts of baked clay bricks incorporating organic waste. The scope of this comparative study of LCA covers cradle to gate and involves the extraction of clay and organic waste from the brick, transport, crushing, modelling, drying and cooking. Local sustainability within a circular economy strategy is used as a laboratory test. The energy used during the cooking process of the bricks modified with organic waste, the gas emission concentrate and the emission factors are quantified experimentally in the laboratory. Potential environmental impacts are analysed and compared using the ReCiPe midpoint LCA method using SimaPro 8.0.5.13.

Road-side plants and highway vegetation are the first targets of these vehicular emissions. This review briefly presents a snapshot of how vehicular emission can affect plants. On the contrary, the positive perspective of how road-side plants may be able to affect and influence the harmful effects of vehicular emissions has also been discussed. Ways and means by which plants can become potential bio indicators of air pollution have also been speculated. The fact that the nanocarbon particulate aspect of automobile pollutants and their interactions with road-side plants and more so on road-side agricultural crops, has not been appropriately investigated has been raised as a key concern. The need to arrive at mitigation methods to identify permanent solutions to these rising concerns has been highlighted.

But those regulations will work only if they are properly applied to this Syar Napa Quarry expansion project. So far however, Syar's consultants and EIR preparers have misled the Planning Department, the public and you Commissioners by concluding Syar's noise impacts to the Skyline Wilderness Park will be less-than-significant if mitigated as they propose. DL&A Noise Comment Letter #2 9-1-15 Syar Napa Quarry Expansion Project EIR - 2 - They have failed to accurately analyze the most severe noise impacts to this Park. Those most severe impacts will be the temporary or periodic increases in noise exposure from unshielded heavy equipment operations as the quarry is expanded on its north and east sides. There may also be significant sleep-disturbance impacts to campground users in tents or RVs from Syar's operations, either during the quarry's occasional 24-hour night and day operations or its early morning operations that may begin at 6:00 a.m. While the DEIR does not evaluate these significant impacts of large temporary increases in noise or sleep-disturbance, there is nonetheless strong evidence in the DEIR that points to such impacts. The DEIR's data is there for all to read, but its significance has been overlooked by County planners who have reviewed the DEIR.

    QUARRY RECLAMATION in ENGLAND: a REVIEW of TECHNIQUES1 Israel A

    JASMR, 2015 Volume 4, Issue 2 QUARRY RECLAMATION IN ENGLAND: A REVIEW OF TECHNIQUES1 Israel A. Legwaila2, Eckart Lange, and John Cripps Abstract. This article reviews different techniques for reclaiming quarries in England. They can be used to reclaim abandoned quarries as well as those that are still operating. A number of reclamation techniques have been developed to revert land that has been quarried for minerals to some productive state. The techniques discussed in this paper include rollover slopes, backfilling, bench-planting, and restoration blasting. These techniques are mainly used to prepare quarry landform to support vegetation, ensure safety at site, as well as accommodate different after- uses. A less conventional method of natural recovery or spontaneous succession is also discussed. Whether applied solely or in combination, the use of these techniques has a potential to enhance the environmental qualities of land degraded by quarrying. Additional Keywords: daleside; limestone; rollover; after-use; post-mine land- use; environmental design. __________________ 1 Oral paper presented at the 2015 National Meeting of the American Society of Mining and Reclamation, Lexington, KY Reclamation Opportunities for a Sustainable Future June 6-11, 2015.

Groundscraper Hotel 15 Conclusion from Cases 17 Looking Forward 18 REFERENCES 19 3 Abstract A quarry is an area from which rocks such as marble, limestone, and granite are extracted for industrial use. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are frequently abandoned. The resulting gaping holes can fill with water and form dangerous quarry lakes while others are turned into unsightly landfills. When quarries are in close proximity to urban environments, inhabitants are subjected to pollution and noise, and the undeniable eyesore of an abandoned quarry remains long after excavation is completed. Sustainable redevelopment has become a shining solution for these abandoned, resource-depleted quarries. Dozens of cities in America and abroad have undertaken adaptive re-use projects to transform quarries into a variety of public and private spaces. The potential new uses for these expanses of land include sites for research and education, aquaculture, recreational activities, storage, industry and housing. The goal of my research is to encourage the rehabilitation of land disturbed by quarrying by making the areas suitable for new sustainable land uses. I will examine cases that successfully transformed resource-depleted quarries into commercial and residential communities, and will discuss how further to improve future redevelopment of quarries with greater consideration to environmental impact and biodiversity.
