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 />
