About the state of environment in the areas of abandonded coal mines (taking Partizansky District of Primorsky Krai as an example)
Consequences of the coal mine liquidation are considered using the example of Partizansky district of Primorsky Krai. We show that the processes of «wet» liquidation of mining workings result in: changes of hydrodynamic regimes of underground waters, formed during long-term periods of mine exploitation; underfl ooding of the earth surface due to elevation of underground water levels; displacement and accumulation of toxic gases in the enclosed spaces; pollution of underground waters and surface stream-fl ows with mining waters.
