of water in open pit CPD is S = 420 m,<br />

and for PK C1 is S = 255m.<br />

According to evaluation, the range of<br />

depression impact (the mined areas of open<br />

pits) on the environment of Cerovo, or bandwidth,<br />

where the change of environmental<br />

factors could be expected around the open<br />

pits and flora due to the dryness of soil is:<br />

X = 453.01 m for PK CPD and X =<br />

415.59 m for PK C1.<br />

Funnel of the open pit C2 (Figure 4),<br />

after completion of exploitation, is filled<br />

with ore waste, and the trajectory of the<br />

impact zone on lowering the level of underground<br />

water was not calculated for this<br />

open pit.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

Based on the formula from literature<br />

and adopted data for mined areas of open<br />

pits – depressions, the effect of open pit<br />

mining of copper ore in Cerovo on the<br />

surrounding flora, was forecasted. At the<br />

location of opening the open pits with<br />

waste dumps at the end of mine century<br />

(Figure 4), the degraded areas will be<br />

about 362 ha. In this area there will be a<br />

total destruction of ecosystem (mostly<br />

forests), and in the area within trajectory<br />

of influence zone of open pits on the<br />

surface of about 312 ha PK CPD and PK<br />

C1 206 ha, which in total is 518 ha, the<br />

lowering of groundwater levels appeared,<br />

and thus deterioration of conditions for<br />

normal development of plants in this area.<br />

The open pits with their mined areas –<br />

depressions have the effect on lowering<br />

the level of ground water in a large area.<br />

Measures for prevention the dryness of<br />

soil around the open pits is usage of those<br />

depressions for waste disposal as it is<br />

planned with depression PK C2, that after<br />

finali<strong>za</strong>tion of exploitation will be filled<br />

with overburden from PK CPD.<br />
