The article attempts to investigate the status of permafrost recovery after excavation backfill in an opencast coal mine. To do that, we forecast the permafrost recovery under certain initial temperatures and different boundary conditions by using the numerical simulation method. The results show that the filling temperature significantly …

The mine itself was created in the northern side of the Som-hill having an elevation of 500 m. The excavation zone starts at 165 m and reaches up to 275 m. The opencast mining started from 1958 produced a 500-600 m wide scar while the overburden material builds up new hills in the eastern southeastern side of the mine.
One of the adverse environmental impacts of mining is that it causes a variety of diseases that are caused mainly due to pollutants in the air and water bodies. Pollution of any type has serious negative impacts on human health, livestock and biodiversity. ... (2004) Assessment and management of air quality for an opencast coal …
