ANNEX 3

CLASSIFICATION OF DANGEROUS AREAS

According to the current level of volatility observed and determined in the field and that expected due to the change in time of various parameters associated with, dangerous areas can be classified:

1. Dangerous area of ​​first instance

Considered all those areas on the surface, where the risk of movement or collapse of land, is constantly present and where they should not be carried out any construction of any category if he, and removed existing buildings, power lines, pipelines and water supply, spostohen roads and other infrastructure elements.

In these areas include:

– The areas surrounding gorges mining vertical wells irrespective of their closure.

– Areas gorges works on horizontal or oblique axis with a length according to the paper until the paper coverings exceed ten times their height, as defined in transverse section. However, in the case of buildings and important elements of infrastructure, risks collective of different sizes, the determination of the boundaries of this area should be done through relevant studies specialist, which must take into account the progress of the process dynamics his.

– Surfaces on the premises of the remaining mining or works of old, where it was used system of exploitation with open spaces and based on calculations that take into account the various factors that cause the evolution of the process of destruction of rocks, It turns out that the collapse of these areas will affect the damage to the surface.

2. Dangerous area second degree

Considered all those areas on the surface, the mining areas where the impact of the effects are easier use. There are ups and their intensity is small. In these areas, on the basis of detailed studies permitted constructions limited in size and kept in constant observation made constructions. In these areas can build various infrastructure elements, who must be under observation.

3. Dangerous area third degree

Considered those areas, the surface on the areas mining closed, where although the consequences of the exploitation are, in the end, small or completed should continue observations and measurements for a short period of time, which will be judged by results. In these areas any construction should be done on the basis of geological-engineering and urban complete.
