Abstract
In this paper we would like to present ours latest findings in regards to copper
contamination around the Buchim copper mine drainage system and adjacent copper
leaching facility. Namelly, several so-called polluting hot-spots around the Buchim copper
mine have been determined, which manifested pronounced acidic character of mine waters
and increased copper concentrations of up to 800 mg/l Cu. After the leaching
facility and closed water system were built, the influence of pollutants to surface and ground
waters significantly decreased. Positive effects in regards to environmental pollution
following their construction were indicated by the results of the 2012 monitoring and
especially by the results of the 2013 and 2014 monitoring. According to the monitoring in
2013, copper values ranged from <0.01 to 1.6 mg·l-1 Cu while 2014 monitoring have shown
even better results from 0.01 to 0.98 mg·l-1 Cu and pH 4.50÷8.40, which itself speaks about
the positive effects achieved with constructions of the copper leaching facility and engulfed
drainage waters.
