Abstract

Coal mining enterprise is a high-tech complex with a significant negative impact on water resources in the form of wastewater discharge. To improving the environmental safety of enterprises having a negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem, it is necessary to detail its features in order to increase the efficiency of environmental management. The article analyzes known approaches to the definition and features of formation of systems of assessing the negative impact on water resources. On the basis of synthesis of theoretical developments of domestic and foreign researchers` study and analysis the actual data of an industrial enterprise authors researched its negative impact on water resources to form a program of effective water protection measures. This researching has practical importance for large industrial enterprises that have a negative impact on water resources for effective environmental management decision-making.

Highlights

  • Coal mining is one of the most dangerous sectors of real sector of economy that is associated with a wide range of negative effects, one of which is pollution of water resources concerning waste-water discharges, and coarse air pollutants, and "flushing" waste production and consumption, including ones characterized by chemical and biological activity [1,2,3,4]

  • There are many scientific points of view to the formation of a system of indicators characterizing the negative impact on water resources, which depend on the industry enterprise specifics and other factors [9, 10]

  • Researching this enterprise was carried out with the help of a number of environmental and economic indicators, where the central place is occupied by economic damage from negative impact on water resources (EDWR) – economic losses of enterprises caused by negative environmental impact on water sources

Summary

Introduction

Coal mining is one of the most dangerous sectors of real sector of economy that is associated with a wide range of negative effects, one of which is pollution of water resources concerning waste-water discharges, and coarse air pollutants, and "flushing" waste production and consumption, including ones characterized by chemical and biological activity [1,2,3,4]. Tightening national environmental legislation and international requirements [5, 6] motivate coal mining enterprises to use innovative modern technologies, which are called BAT (best available technologies) Despite of intensification this activity, coal mining enterprises are a potential source of high environmental and economic risks, and this fact requires increasing the efficiency and diversification of management methods [7, 8]. In such circumstances, it is necessary to identify the most significant environmental and economic aspects of negative impact on water resources and their assessment on the basis of developed system of environmental and economic indicators. For large industrial enterprises carrying out a complex of basic, auxiliary and service technological processes, the problem of wastewater discharge is urgent, and determines the feasibility of analyzing this type of negative impact with development of measures to ensure environmental safety.
