Abstract |
Mining usually causes severe anthropogenic changes by which the ground- or surface water might be significantly polluted. One of the main problems in the mining industry are acid mine drainage, the drainage of heavy metals, and the prediction of mine water rebound after mine closure. Therefore, the knowledge about the hydraulic behaviour of the mine water within the flooded mine might significantly reduce the costs of mine closure and remediation. In the literature, the difficulties in evaluating the hydrodynamics of flooded mines are well described, but only few tracer tests in flooded mines have been published so far. Most tracer tests linked to mine water problems were related to either pollution of the aquifer or radioactive waste disposal and not the mine water itself. Applying the results of the test provides possibilities f or optimizing the outcome of the source-path-target methodology and therefore diminishes the costs of remediation strategies. Consequently, prior to planning of remediation strategies or numerical simulations, relatively cheap and reliable results for decision making can be obtained via a well conducted tracer test. < copyright > 2005 Elsevier GmbH.

Abstract |
The understanding of molecular mechanisms in the cycling of elements in general is essential to our alteration of current processes. One field where such geochemical element cycles are of major importance is the prevention and treatment of acid mine drainage waters (AMD) which are prone to occur in every anthropogenic, modified landscape where sulfidic rock material has been brought to the surface during mine operations. Microbiologically controlled production of AMD leads not only to acidification, but at the same time the dissolution of heavy metals makes them bioavailable posing a potential ecotoxicological risk. The water path then can contaminate surface and ground water resources which leads to even bigger problems in large catchment areas. The investigation of mechanisms in natural attenuation has already provided first ideas for applications of naturally occurring bioremediation schemes. Especially an improved soil microflora can enhance the natural attenuation when adapted microbes are applied to contaminated areas. Future schemes for plant extraction, control of water efflux by increasing evapotranspiration, and by subsequent land use with agricultural plants with biostabilization and phytosequestration potential will provide putative control measures. The mechanisms in parts of these processes have been evaluated and the resulting synthesis applied to derive a bioremediation plan using the former uranium mine in Eastern Thuringia as a case study.

Abstract |
Vor dem Hintergrund einer planmäßigen Tagebauentwicklung muss der das Gewinnungsfeld in Nord-Süd-Richtung durchquerende Fluss Inde Ende 2005 bergbaulich in Anspruch genommen werden. Als Ersatz wurde auf Grundlage des Planfeststellungsbeschlusses vom 10.09.1998 eine neue Inde auf einer Länge von rd. 12 km erstellt. Rund 10 km der neuen Inde liegt innerhalb des Tagebaufeldes. Hierzu musste eine Flusslandschaft angelegt werden. Im Gegensatz bisher anthropogen geprägten Inde, ist eine naturnahe und weiträumige Flusslandschaft vorgesehen. Die Gestaltung soll, in Verbindung mit den zahlreichen eingebrachten Landschaftselementen wie Flutmulden, Altarmansätzen und Kolke, eine artenreiche und ökologisch hochwertige Auenlandschaft ermöglichen. Die Flutung der neuen Inde erfolgt auf Grundlage eines dreiphasigen Gewässerumschlusskonzeptes. Im Anschluss an die Flutung soll ein Monitoring- Programm zur Dokumentation der hydrodynamischen, morphologischen und landschaftsökologischen Entwicklung der Indeflur durchgeführt werden. Against the background of the scheduled eastward development of the Inden opencast mine, the Inde river which runs there must make way for mining operations at the end of 2005. Prior to this, as a replacement for the riverbed, which is some 4.5 km long, a riverscape has had to be created as a bypass in the west, mainly within the scope of rehabilitation measures. The model built for this purpose based on historical records provides for a close-to-nature and spacious riverscape with hand- and soft-wood meadows, unlike the anthropogenically marked Inde of today, with a meandering mean water bed. This design, in conjunction with the many installed landscape elements, like flood hollows, creeks and potholes, aims at creating a diverse and ecologically high-quality meadow landscape. The main factors impacting the river's route were the opencast mine's geometry and progress, as well as the planned and existing utilization of the land surfaces outside the opencast field. Besides these constraints, there were stipulated vertical points due to hydraulic requirements. The Inde plains, taking account of the planned route, were created on the basis of a design template, which provides for a stable level, a sealing layer and a cultivatable meadow substrate layer. In addition, the meadow substrate layer protects the sealing layer from erosion thanks to its medium- and coarse-grained gravel content. The Inde was constructed in the opencast field within the scope of rehabilitation in spreader operations, meaning that it was possible to dump the material to be installed in line with the design template and given elevations. The flooding of the 'new' Inde was based on a three-phase waterway rerouting concept and provided for increasing discharge quantities. This enabled a bottom covering layer to be formed successively, and ailowed the aquatic fauna to gently adapt to the changed living conditions and further seed material to be flushed in. |
