Abstract :In this study, the waste storage facility (WST), where the process wastes generated during the mining activities of the gold mine operation, which is of great importance, are stored, is planned to be built in an environmentally viable way. Within the scope of the WST construction, experiments and tests were carried out to ensure impermeability by the environmental legislation, and after the completion of the works, it was aimed to reintroduce the waste storage areas to nature. The water and wastewater management, air pollution, noise pollution, soil pollution, and chemicals management stages of the facility were carried out by regulations and standards, and the control and measurement results were evaluated from an environmental point of view.
