The most obvious environmental impact of aggregate mining is the conversion of land use, most likely from undeveloped or agricultural land use, to a (temporary) hole in the ground. This major impact is accompanied by loss of habitat, noise, dust, blasting effects, erosion, sedimentation, and changes to …
the Lvi (Level of Visual Impact) are performed and compared. Some scenarios are studied by varying not only the receptor location but the quarry exploitation method too. Then, with regard to the threshold limit values and quality classes defined in the EC decision, the construction of Lvi maps is performed by means Environmental Impact II 125
The study investigated the environmental effects of quarry operations in Abeokuta, Ogun state, while it specifically sought to identify corresponding environmental impacts posed in quarry operation and, assess the efforts towards minimizing environmental impacts of their operations. Primary data used for this study was obtained from 100 ...
The quarry of Pagala is the first one in exploitation, as part of a project that has plans for opening a dozen quarries throughout the length and breadth of the country, and for all types of materials: white marble, black granite, red, yellow, serpentine, etc.
Sep 28, 2012· Stone quarrying is a form of land use method concerned with the extraction of non-fuel and non-metal minerals from rocks [1]. It is usually done by open-cast method using rock drills, explosion of dynamite and use of other methods [2]. Quarrying has environmental and health effects.

While quarries can cause significant impact to the environment, with the right planning and management, many of the negative effects can be minimized or controlled and in many cases, there is great opportunity to protect and enhance the environment, such as with the translocation of existing habitats or the creation of new ones.
We describe the problem and the negative impact engendered by the activity of exploitation of the quarries of the region of Casablanca-Mohammedia on the environment, most of which of these last ones were exploited to extract building materials, while most part of the exploited rocks are dolomites and limestones which constitute the reservoirs of the groundwaters of the region.
