Update of the Inventory of Mines, Quarries and Graves of Andalusia and its environmental impact

The basic objective of the project is the elaboration of an inventory of mines, quarries and active gravel pits existing within the territory of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The inventory includes the necessary information regarding the specific contents of the Mining Law, and its Regulations, the Regulations on Basic Mine Safety Standards and the Complementary Technical Instructions that develop it and the environmental situation of the farms. The content of the work is structured in five large blocks: - Obtaining all administrative, technical, mining and environmental information from farms. - Characterisation in relation to the safety and environmental status of all active holdings. - The assessment of the safety and environmental situation of farms in its general scope. - The analysis and programming of actions, and the study of guidelines and guidelines for the management of the Mining Administration, at provincial and general level. - The systematization of all the information, orienting it towards a global management model, through the elaboration of sheets, databases and cartographic elaboration. The works were carried out by the company Geomare, S.A., commissioned by the General Directorate of Industry Energy and Mines of the Ministry of Employment and Technological Development of the Junta de Andalucía, under a technical assistance contract, during the years 1999-2000. The information is available in inventory sheets where the information regarding the holdings is collected, to later be implemented in a database.
