Abstract
The methods and means of dumping overburden at open pit coal mines in Kuzbass are reviewed. Specific features of dumping are highlighted, and the dependence of dump stability on geological conditions and physical properties of overburden is determined. The priority lines of development in the dumping technology are aimed at efficient utilization of mined-out areas in open pits and idle hydraulic fills. The issues of the environmental safety of dumping are addressed.
