Abstract

16 Agregate quarries are working in Sultangazi district, Cebeci Aggregate Quarries zone. It is detected that as a result of blasting in these quarries, a high amount of vibration and noise occurred in these regions; dust emission resulted from rock crushers, crushing, sifting and conveyor lines as well as irregular stock piling and transportation; as a result of lack of space, it is observed that open quarry layers could not be established and deep holes were opened as a result; also as a result of upper layer of earth and cover molding taken irregularly, uncontrolled and applied without a project in order to mine inside or outside of the permitted area resulted in rise of ground level and visual pollution. Thanks to rehabilitations applied in the facilities, adjustments in level of drilling and blasting operations and blasting level are made and problem of vibration or noise resulted from blasting are solved. Lines, sifters and crushing equipment in quarries were covered and with pulverization systems with water support, along with covering roads with asphalt, leveling and forestation in the region, cleaning and washing roads are also applied in order to reduce dust emission partially. © SGEM2012 All Rights Reserved by the International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference SGEM Published by STEF92 Technology Ltd.
