The use of ahp multi-criteria method and Leopold matrix to assess the impact of gravel and sand pits on the environment of the Jasiolka valley; [Wykorzystanie wielokryterialnej metody AHP i macierzy Leopolda do oceny wpływu eksploatacji złóż żwirowo-piaskowych na środowisko przyrodnicze doliny Jasiołki] [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The challenge of the Natura 2000 network is the conservation of biodiversity with sustainable development of the regions. Mining activity can be conducted when it does not affect the protected areas in a negative way. This paper describes the objects of protection in the Natura 2000 Jasiołka. The types of negative impact on the environment of the exploitation of gravel and sand are characterized. The influence of extraction of sand and gravel deposits in Trzciana on the objects of protection of Natura 2000 areas is also presented. To assess that impact the AHP multi-criteria method and Leopold matrix have been used. The assessment of the aggregates mining on the environment has been conducted by 35 experts who are competent in all elements of the analyzed problem. They represented the following fields of expertise: geology, mining, environmental management, environmental engineering, environmental protection, ecology. The exploitation of sand and gravel deposit in Trzciana has the greatest impact on the biosphere, in particular the flora, then on the hydrosphere, and on the lithosphere. However, this impact is significant. Mining of the natural aggregates in Trzciana does not have negative influence on the surrounding Natura 2000 areas. Mining influence on the water relations is very limited. The change in landscape, vegetation and soil degradation are temporary. Agricultural reclamation allowed for restoration of the original function of the terrain as it was before the commencing of mining activity. It has been noted that the investment after the end ofmining activity and after water reclamation will enrich the river and valley habitats, creating new places for breeding and dwelling of fauna. It is emphasized that the reclaimed areas are valuable component of the environment: habitat of protected plants and a place of rest and preying for many species of animals. The described example of impact ofmining on the environment inclines one to look at mining as an activity that creates new values. The assessment of the actual influence of mining on the environment based on the active gravel pits allows for finding an optimal solution for both sides.
