Abstract
Justification of criteria for evaluating the results of drilling and blasting is a very important step in assessing the effects and mitigating the negative environmental impacts of drilling and blasting operations. By monitoring and analyzing the negative seismic effects on the facilities and infrastructure around the operations, it is possible to adapt the parameters and organization of blasting operations to the mining operation in such a way that nearby infrastructure can be protected and positive environmental effects can be achieved. This article considers the creation of local (within one coal strip mine or the mined coal field) systems to monitor negative seismic and acoustic effects of large-scale blasting. It is shown that accumulation of the seismic database and its subsequent comparison with the drilling and blasting parameters will make it possible to refine the large-scale blasting projects to specify safe distances, which will increase the size of blasted blocks and improve the efficiency of mining transportation equipment, while safeguarding the environment.
