Sažetak
Exploitation of raw mineral material like building rocks has a consequence of permanently destroying or damaging the natural environment. Rehabilitation of rock quarries and surface mines means returning them to their original or natural state. Rehabilitation of abandoned quarry Brestanica is a positive example how to turn damaged environmental site into use and restore it to more natural state. Having in mind that disposal of various wastes represent permanent issue, the abandoned quarries are not sufficiently exploited for this purpose. Preparations of abandoned quarry for useful purpose include rehabilitation, protection of surroundings during blasting, building operations and objects for wastewater purification. Since there are buildings in the vicinity of the quarry, it was crucial to carefully monitor blasting and its impact with seismic measurements. The protection of working plateau, road and railroad was achieved with construction of protection channel, embankment and wood fence along the railroad tracks.
