c. Natural disasters and preparedness Retrospect: The Falun Mine is a very resilient environment, but historically the following should be noted. In 1666 a cloudburst waterlogged parts of the mine and furnaces and other structures beside watercourses were swept away. In 1687 came the great collapse when the partition walls gave way and the Stora Stöten open-cast mine resulted. The great fires in Falun in 1761 also affected some of the buildings at the Falun Mine, the Stora Gruvstugan administrative building among them. A great fire swept through the Östanfors district in 1847. Spring floods have affected the central areas of the town of Falun in 1764, 1860, 1899 and 1916. Earth tremors and collapses: The Falun Mine is located in a stable crystalline basement area where there is no risk of earth tremors. The last collapse in the mine occurred during the 1910s. The bedrock in the mine is continuously checked by the owner, Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB. Flooding: Above the mine there is an extensive system of dammed-up lakes which has existed since medieval times. Dams and canals are controlled by Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB. Lake and water systems near Falun are regulated nowadays, with the result that during the present century flooding has occurred on few occasions and on a minor scale only. Water flows are controlled by the Dalarna County Administrative Board and the Municipality of Falun. Fires: The town of Falun and other buffer zones include a very large proportion of timber buildings. There have been no major fires, however, since 1847 and there now exists an advanced system of fire prevention. This is supervised by the Falun Municipal Rescue Service. All the same, however, it is not easy to guard against accidental fires. One of the historic mine buildings, Adolf Fredrik’s Headframe, dating from 1845, was totally destroyed by fire in May 1999. Re-erection of the building is planned, however. d. Visitor/tourism pressures Every year the Falun Mine receives about 60,000 visitors, some 50,000 of whom pay a visit below ground in the Visitors’ Mine. Parking facilities are provided adjacent to the mine. The ground consists of soil, slag or stone. In this robust environment there is little danger of wear and tear even with an increasing number of visitors.. e. Number of inhabitants within property, buffer zone 35,000. 39
6. Monitoring a. Key indicators for measuring state of conservation Visitor figures: The Mine Museum opened in 1922 and until 1970 had about 10,000 visitors annually. Since 1970 the museum has been receiving about 60,000 visitors annually. Since it was opened to the general public in the spring of 1970, the Visitors’ Mine has received about 50,000 visitors annually. Care expenditure: For the period 1990-1999 about SEK 12,000,000. Focal points: A sequence of pictures of Stora Stöten, viewed from the west, exist for the period between 1790 and 1999. In this way changes in the mine landscape can be traced continuously. b. Administrative arrangements for monitoring property Stora Kopparbergs Bergslag AB exercises daily supervision of the mine and its buildings. The company has refurbished and maintained valuable buildings at the Falun Mine and has provided a special Visitors’ Mine which it has been maintaining ever since 1970. Historic buildings and areas of national interest within the county are supervised by the Dalarna County Administrative Board. The Municipality of Falun is responsible for planning issues in the municipality and is the authority responsible for building permit procedure in matters of development and building. The Dalarnas Museum advises the Municipality and the County Administrative Board on matters relating to historic environments and settlement. c.
