Abstract. Nowadays there no proper mechanisms of mines closure, which would consider all ecological consequences from technological equipment stopping to the development of sustainable functioning strategy for post-industrial territories. It is stated that liquidation of not-paying coal mines does not ensure their influence stopping on the environmental components. In most cases the ecological problems arising on different stages of not-paying mines liquidation affect the further development and ways of use of adjacent territories. Mines liquidation projects consider all sources of negative influence on natural environment to be eliminated by the end of mine closure process.  As based on the concept of all possible ecological risks in the process of coal mines liquidation, the conclusion is drawn about the approaches to assessment of the degree of any negative situation occurrence. The approaches are absolutely equal and can be used while developing methodological base for concession of priority and procedure for nature-conservative measures for coal mines under liquidation.

Keywords: mine liquidation, ecological risks, mineralization, water intake, waste dumps, mine surface complex, deformative process.
