Abstract:Laiwu city is an important resourcebased city in Shandong province with long resource exploration history. Exploration of mineral resources in this city supported rapid development of the economy and the society, but the abandoned mines have led to the destruction for the environment and the factors threatening the surrounding masses, and then will block the sustainable development of the city. On the basis of surveying and analyzing present condition of the abandoned mines, combining with characteristics, safety and environmental problems, risk assessment degree has been evaluated, and relative construction countermeasures of treatment have been proposed. It will provide some references for other resourcebased cities.
