Mining activities can cause tangible socio-economic improvements in the surrounding regions. Such potential has not been fully realized, owing to the fact that the socio-economic impact assessment processes exercised in India merely predict the footprint of industrial activity on the surrounding population. Consequently, project proponents are mandated to implement a management plan in cases of foreseeable negative consequences. However, both, the assessment study, as well as the process of implementation of a management plan, are riddled with significant gaps and limitations. Primary data collected for this research makes it apparent that, in comparison to the revenue generated from the mining activities, the pace of development of the mine-affected areas and the socio-economic conditions of those residing in these areas are disproportional. Moreover, the current assessment process was found to be lacking in data and analysis. In this context, this paper recommends the usage of state-of-the-art technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone technology, for accurate assessment as well as real-time monitoring of the socio-economic impact of mining operations. The overall objective is to improve the perception of the general population towards the mining industry.

Sieci kolei górnictwa rud żelaza w Polsce są interesującym i istotnym zjawiskiem, nierzadko pełniącym w systemie transportowym tradycyjnych okręgów przemysłowych niezwykle ważną rolę. Stanowiły główne ogniwo łączące zakłady wydobywcze i przetwórcze (tzw. prażalnie rud). Na przełom XIX i XX w. przypada pierwsze udokumentowane uruchomienie linii tego typu kolei w Polsce, które nastąpiło w regionie starachowickim. Za końcową datę ich funkcjonowania uznaje się rok 1992 – moment zakończenia eksploatacji ostatnich linii wąskotorowych dawnych kopalń rud żelaza w regionie częstochowskim. W artykule syntetycznie przedstawia się rozwój i regres sieci kolei górnictwa rud wraz z próbą wskazania genezy tych procesów.

Railways of iron ore mining, except one case, were narrow-gauge. The earliest (about 1899) lines were built in Starachowice neighbor¬hood. The first lines of Czestochowa's network ware built in 1913 and Chlewiska's network around 1922. These three networks had been developed almost until 1941. In these year there was a sharp decrease of the length of the rail networks of iron ore mines (Fig. 6). A significant part of the rail network in neighborhood Starachowice was transferred to the forest administration in 1941. Another big development of rail network of iron ore mining started in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Polish government decided then to inten¬sify supplying steel industry in iron ore from domestic mines and as a result of this process built new mines and processing iron ore plants. The need to ensure the efficient transport resulted in expan¬sion of the network of narrow gauge railways as a natural extension of the process of extraction of iron ore without reloading. At that mo¬ment Chlewiska network collapsed, but networks in Czestochowa, Starachowice (new section to pyrite mine in Rudki) and a brand new network in Stąporkow had experienced the rapid growth. The total length of iron ore mining rail networks exceeded the pre-war level at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s. Only one section (of the pyrite mine in Rudki) was exploited in the Staropolskie mining area un¬til the mid-1970s. Decision to discontinue extraction of the Polish iron ores was made in the early 1970s. It was mainly due to the low iron content and better quality of ores imported from former USSR. Therefore, in the mid-1970s, because of the impossibility of other uses of the railway, networks began to shrink rapidly. The railway lines in Stąporkow and Starachowice regions were completely dis¬mantled. Similar network in Czestochowa region was split into two independent networks with starting points in Poraj and Klobuck. Its function was a/so changed - the only reason of its exploration was to transport components of equipment manufactured in the engineer¬ing plant built on the base of iron ore mines. The last railway of this kind was closed in 1992.

W poniższej pracy przedstawiono charakterystykę procesów kształtujących chemizm wód podziemnych w zatopionych wyrobiskach kopalnianych w częstochowskim rejonie zlikwidowanych kopalń rud żelaza. W zatopionych wyrobiskach, na skutek wyłączenia systemów odwadniających kopalnie i tym samym ograniczenia wymiany wód podziemnych wytworzyła się strefa zanieczyszczonych wód kopalnianych. Przyczyną tego zjawiska było między innymi ograniczenie dopływu wód bogatych w rozpuszczony tlen i dwutlenek węgla. Mimo upływu czasu, stężenia jonów w wodach z warstw kościeliskich w rejonie kopalń są bardzo wysokie. Po 15 latach od zatopienia kopalń, maksymalnie stężenia żelaza są 500-krotnie wyższe od dopuszczalnych dla wód pitnych, w przypadku manganu 80-krotnie, niklu 50-krotnie a siarczanów 7-krotnie i nie wykazują tendencji spadkowej, co spowodowane jest spowolnieniem procesów samooczyszczania tych wód w wyniku zaprzestania pompowań. Przypuszcza się, że wymiana zanieczyszczonych wód kopalnianych przez wody infiltrujące z powierzchni terenu, bez ingerencji człowieka, może trwać setki lat.

Characteristics of the process constituting chemism of underground waters in the flooded mine workings in the Częstochowa liquidated iron ore mines region is presented. Becouse of mone drainage system stoppage and thus limitation of exchange of the undergrounds waters in flooded workings a zone of pulled mine waters has been created. A cause of this phenomenon was, among others, limitation of inflow of the waters containing much dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide. In spite of time passage the concentration of ions the waters from kościeliskie strata in the region of mines is very high. After 15 years from mines flooding the maximum concentrations of iron are 500 times higher than permitted for drinking water, in case of manganese 80 times, for nickiel 50 times and for sulfates 7 times and there is no downward trend, what is caused by sloving down of the self-purification processes of these waters because of pumping stoppage. It is presumed that replacement of the polluted waters mine by the waters infiltrating from the surface may take, without humaninterference, hundreds of years.
