Northeast part of Estonia has been subject to oil shale mining since 1916. Oil shale as main source for power industry in Estonia is mined in amount of 12 million tonnes per year. The underground production rate is about 6 million tonnes of the mineral annually. Currently three open casts and six underground mines are operating, hi past 6 underground oil shale mines have been closed. Totally 979 million tonnes of rock, including oil shale has been mined underground. Today, about 305 km2 area has 512 million m3 abandoned mine workings in the depth of 10 to 70 m below the surface. The problem is influence of underground mining and mine workings on ground subsistence and ground- and surface water regime.Mapping of potential areas of ground sub...
