Liquidation of Emergency Situation consequences
Ust-Kamenogorsk, August 01, 2009 (Khabar) - Officials of the Zyryanovsk residential area in East Kazakhstan region have been trying to solve the situation with groundwater aquifers for one month. The flooding area comprises of 110 houses. The flooded borrow pit of the former Zyryanovsk mine, which was laid up in 1970s, served as a reason for the emergency situation. Because of loose calculations solid mass of earth forced out groundwater aquifers. This year the water level of this industrial reservoir exceeds all norms.
Works on the tackling of the emergency situation involved hydrologists and landslide work specialists. The depth of the mine is 350 metres and its volume is 80 million cubic metres of water. In order to solve this problem the city council received 80 million tenge from the reserve fund.
Aleksandr Barbashov, head of Zyryanovsk:
- It is planned to construct a pump station with the total capacity consisting of 2 thousand cubic metres per hour. This station will help lower the water level by 4.5 centimetres per day. In one month we will be able to drain this reservoir.
Tests of the Sanitary Inspection Services have shown that groundwater aquifers are harmful to nature. It is planned that 900 cubic metres of water will be used by local industrial enterprises and the rest will be pumped into the local river. Constructers will launch the pump station at the end of August. It is supposed that three autumn months will be enough to solve the problem.
