Guidelines for mine closure activities and calculation an periodic adjustment of financial guarantees
Metapodatki publikacije
The Directive 2006/21/EC3 on the management of waste from the extractive industries ("the Directive" or "EWD") provides minimum requirements, procedures and guidance to prevent or reduce as far as possible any adverse effects on the environment and any resulting risks on human health from the management of extractive waste. The Directive requires the competent authority to demand a financial guarantee (FG), prior to commencement of any operations involving the accumulation of extractive waste. In this context, the EWD requires the Member States (MS) to ensure that the operator draws up an Extractive Waste Management Plan (EWMP). The EWMP must include a closure plan, including site rehabilitation, after-closure procedures and monitoring. For waste facilities that require a permit, the EWMP is part of the permit application. The FG is to be established in accordance with procedures to be decided by the MS. The guarantee is lodged at the pre-operational phase and based on anticipated closure measures and their implementation cost, e.g. as specified in the EWMP. Since the operational phase of a mine might last for several decades, there is a degree of uncertainty associated with the FG. The EWD addresses this issue by requiring a review of the EWMP every 5 years and the FG periodic adjustment in accordance with any rehabilitation work needed to be carried out as described in the EWMP. For the closure and after-closure phase, the EWD requires MS to ensure that the operator requests an authorisation to start the closure procedure. This request is based on the latest periodic review of the EWMP taking into account the actual environmental impact of the waste facility and elaborates in detail the closure tasks and programmes including expected costs. Some MS require a separate closure plan. The Commission has adopted a Decision on technical guidelines for the FG establishment in accordance with the EWD. Some MS suggested to provide additional technical guidance for the implementation of the FG provisions. The present guideline document (GD) aims to support the EWD implementation by elaborating technical guidance for - Collection and description of the Closure Best Practices by Mining Typology - FG calculation prior to the commencement of waste deposit, and FG periodic adjustment; - Elaboration of updated closure plans taking into account the environmental impact of the operations; and - Approaches for determining the cost of the respective activities to implement the closure plan.
