ABSTRACT
In calculations, the formation of waste rocks of upland deposits and the determination of the parameters of the base of the dumps is a rather difficult problem. Such parameters as the relief of the surface, the storage of a sufficiently large volume of waste rock and with small occupied areas, the steepness of the slope, as well as the minimum distance to the quarry are considered for the planning of dumps. The waste rock dump is the final product in the development of rocks in quarries. A prerequisite for dumping and warehousing is to ensure industrial and environmental safety.
Calculation of the volume of the stored dump in the minimum area. For this task, Google Earth aerial photographs were used and a 3D terrain model was created using the google sketchup software product.
