Potential impact on the environment and reduction measures in the case of the temporary perimeters for mineral aggregates exploitation. Case study “Temporary perimeter operating in Ribişului Valley”, Socol Locality, Caras-Severin County, Romania

In order to achieve the objectives of the exploitation program for the resources of magmatic rocks in the perimeter of Valea Ribişului, Caraş-Severin County, works of opening, preparation and exploitation will be carried out during the validity period of the exploitation permit. The analysis of the geological-mining conditions of the metadolerite deposit leads to the conclusion that the metadolerite reserves can be exploited by mining works in the quarry. In the geological-mining conditions of the deposit for the execution of the quarry, the method of exploitation with descending steps is envisaged, which can be used in deposits of massive industrial and construction rocks. The landscape given by the vegetation will be permanently affected as a result of the exploitation of the aggregates and measures can be taken to reduce the impact. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the impact on the environment using models and participatory methods, taking into account the situation when there are no concrete data related to the evaluation of the objective, or they are not sufficient or relevant.
