Rules of development of the program of prevention of large ecological incidents in case of waste management of the mining industry, and also the internal plan of response to such incidents

Chapter 1. General provisions

1. These rules of development of the program of prevention of large ecological incidents in case of waste management of the mining industry, and also the internal plan of response to such incidents (further - Rules) are developed according to Item 1 of article 362 of the Ecological code (further - the Code) and Item 1 of article 12 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "About civil protection" and determines procedure for development of the program of prevention of large ecological incidents in case of waste management of the mining industry, and also the internal plan of response to such incidents.

2. The main the concept and determinations used in Rules:

1) waste of the mining industry - according to Item 1 of article 357 of the Code is the waste formed in the course of investigation, production, processing and storage of solid minerals including the overburden, containing breed, dust, poor ore, deposit of mechanical purification of career and mine waters, tails and slimes of enrichment;

2) identification of dangers of accident - process of identification and recognition of possibility of accident on hazardous production facility, and also establishments of characteristics of dangers of accident;

3) monitoring of natural and technical systems - system of stationary observations of condition of the environment and constructions in the course of their construction, operation, and also after liquidation, and development of recommendations about normalization of ecological situation and engineering protection of constructions;

4) the environmental impact assessment - according to Item 1 of article 64 of the Code is process of identification, studying, the description and assessment on the basis of the corresponding researches of possible essential impacts on the environment in case of realization of the planned activities including stages, stipulated in Article 67 Codes;

5) risk assessment of large ecological incidents - the process used for determination of probability and severity of effects of realization of dangers of accidents to health of the person, property and the surrounding environment;

6) the operator of object - physical person and legal entity, in property and which other legal use there is object making negative impact on the environment according to Item 6 of article 12 of the Code;

7) waste management of the mining industry - according to Item 1 of article 358 of the Code are the transactions performed concerning waste according to the principle of hierarchy of waste management;

8) the best available technicians applied in ore mining industry - the most effective and advanced stage of development of types of activity and methods of their implementation testimonial of their practical suitability to form basis of establishment of the technological standard rates and other ecological conditions directed to prevention and if it is almost impracticable, minimization of negative anthropogenous impact on the environment according to Item 1 of article 113 of the Code;

9) transactions on recovery of waste in ore mining industry - preparation of waste for reuse, conversion and waste recycling;

10) waste disposal of ore mining industry - any, the transaction which is not recovery on burial and destruction of waste, including auxillary operations on preparation of waste for burial and destruction (including on their sorting, processing, neutralization);

11) wasteless technology - the complex use of minerals and environment protection against pollution assuming the maximum extraction from raw materials of all valuable components in case of the minimum allocation and total absence of waste in firm, liquid and gaseous type;

12) low-waste technology - the complex use of minerals and environment protection against pollution assuming the greatest possible extraction at the company from raw materials of all valuable components in case of the minimum allocation of waste in firm, liquid and gaseous type. The low-waste technology only partially solves problem of complex use of raw materials and prevention of irreversible changes in the surrounding environment;

13) large ecological incident - the ecological situation which arose on the site of the territory where as a result of economic and other activity and natural natural processes there are steady negative changes in the environment menacing to health of the population, condition of natural ecological systems, genetic funds of plants and animals.

Other terms and determinations in these rules are applied according to the Code.
