The electric power of Romania will be based during the future years on the lignite deposit exploitation and beneficiation. The lignite deposit exploitation will be predominantly carried out in large open casts. The open cast mining of the lignite deposits raise many technical and economic concerns and some of them are particularly significant. The present paper describes the construction time stability and management systems of the waste dumps built upwith the time and accumulating tens and hudnreds of millions tons of cubic metres of materials.
