In all the projects and exploration activities environmental issues have high priority. Environmental impact of any study is taken into account. Possible impacts are tried to be eliminated by informing related divisions. Accordingly our institution examines any kind of mining activity's pre-EIA studies and the results are dispatched to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
Environmental Impact Assessment
Main duties are:
- To develop projects that will resolve human-environment interactions and to study on related subjects within the framework of science of environmental geology, which studies problems related to the presence of human activity (such as landslides due to deforestation, destruction of naturedue to industrial activities such as mining, solid waste problem, contamination of ground water) or problems caused by nature to human environment (such as earthquakes, mass flows, site selection problems related to ground properties) based on earth science data.
- To develop environmental protection projects that will improve human life quality
- To evaluate and assess studies related to environmental issues, produced by any other institution.
Briefly, to develop environmentally friendly approaches for the use and investigation of natural resources while studying processes that effect environment, and to combine the obtained results with environmental planning, resource protection and management studies, make up the main essence of the studies in our subdivision.
Environmental Studies
Environmental Studies Subdivision not only supports the water quality aspects of the pursued projects within the MTA but also makes environmental projects. In addition, the subdivision personnel provides support to water or environment related projects of MTA, at sample collection, water analysis and data evaluation stages.
Environmental Studies Subdivision Task Description
- To join studies and to develop projects that will study environmental impacts and solution proposals of the subjects within the framework of the General Directorate's study areas.
- To join and express institution's view in commissions and governmental organizations such as the boards and commissions of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Environmental Divisions of Counties, Ministry of Culture, National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP), Habitat, European Environmental Monitoring Network (EMEP), Technical Committee of Higher Environment, Sustainable Development Commissions etc.
- To support environment related synchronization studies of European Union
- To perform environmental studies concerning mining and energy sectors
- To prepare EIA, pre-EIA reports on subjects related to the study areas of the General Directorate, to perform the necessary researches and studies and to dispatch these information to related institutions (such as Ministry of Environment and Forestry).
Environmental Impact Assessment Subdivision Task Description
- To join studies and meetings of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Pre-EIA and Site Selection for Organized Industrial Zone Commissions, to do related researches and studies and to develop and dispatch institutions view.
- To support all the activities of the division
