 What is being done
to solve the problems
- To ensure general stability of slopes east
of the Hornád River should be made the following actions:
- additional sub-horizontal drills of
holes on slopes,
- building up new monitoring fixed
trigonometrical stations for the measurement of slope movements,
- making functional all surface channels
and horizontal drill holes, which were drilled on the edges of
slopes,
- by checking and measuring the yield of
horizontal drill holes,
- surveying fixed trigonometrical
stations,
- prompt carrying out repairs of the
defects of water mains and sewers on borders of housing
districts,
- by renewal of plantations and by
reforestation of part of slopes with suitable woody plants.
- At foundation of buildings, it is
necessary to respect areas with identified increased radon hazard,
and to take adequate actions of building or other nature, for its
elimination.
- Exploitation of magnesite has been stopped. The new
processin
g plant at Bočiar, which is located in the
industrial zone southeast of Košice, processes only the imported
raw material.
- It is necessary to liquidate the
destructed and desolated processing plant at Ťahanovce.
- Refuse banks and landfills, which
originated during exploitation and beneficiation of magnesite,
have been partially reclaimed, or they are gradually disposed for
various building purposes – construction of roads in the territory
of the city, or for filling the mined out spaces.
- Improvement of the quality of environment
in the city and its surroundings can be achieved by better
utilization of the Košická kotlina Basin geothermal potential.
