Uralkali Berezniki Mines — Perm Krai, Russia
Three of Uralkali's five mines are in Berezniki. In 2006, Berezniki-1 mine was flooded by a freshwater spring intrusion, causing the world's largest man-made sinkhole (the 'Grandfather': 340 yards wide, 50 stories deep). The city of Berezniki (pop. ~130,000) is being relocated as additional sinkholes appear. Berezniki area produces ~10% of world's potash. The geological risk of mine flooding remains active.
