Results of analysis of modern geoecological monitoring data of the abandoned Tyrnyauz tailings facility

The significant intensification of negative natural phenomena in mountainous areas in recent decades has increased the urgency of ensuring the safe maintenance of tailings storage facilities for the mining industry. The article examines the situation at the tailings storage facility of the Tyrnyauz Mining and Processing Complex. During the research, modern monitoring technologies were implemented, enabling the acquisition of highly reliable data in real-time. As part of the work, vulnerable areas and sections prone to washout risk were identified. As protective measures for the main dam to prevent failure, options have been proposed to ensure the design discharge capacity of the drainage tunnel and to restore the operational functionality of the open emergency spillway channel.
