| Description: | THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT IS THE STRATEGIC PLANNING OF AGGREGATE QUARRIES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY AND MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. TO THIS END, A MODEL EXPLOITATION PLAN WILL BE DEVELOPED IN SELECTED QUARRY AREAS TO DETERMINE THE AGGREGATE RESERVES. THE DESIGN OF THE OPERATIONS WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF SCIENCE AND LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS, IN ORDER TO ENSURE OPTIMUM RECOVERABILITY OF THE DEPOSIT IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF THE OPERATION, SAFETY OF OPERATIONS AND PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. ADDRESSING LANDSCAPE IMPACTS WILL BE A PRIORITY GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF THIS TYPE OF GGREGATE QUARRIES TO URBAN AREAS. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS AN ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE A SYSTEMATIC AND INTEGRATED PLANNING OF QUARRYING ACTIVITY IN THE SELECTED AREAS AND CAN BE USED AS A REFERENCE FOR SIMILAR CASES IN GREECE. |
