open pit

An excavated hole in the earth bounded on all sides and fully open to the atmosphere.

An open pit is a hole in the earth formed by excavation, which is bounded on all sides by its own walls, and which is fully open to the atmosphere. This includes open-pit mines and quarries as well as other excavated holes. Building excavations are not listed as open pits unless construction is permanently aborted and the site is not filled in. Narrow shafts, underground mines, and tunnels are not listed as open pits. An open pit's existence as an object of this type comes to an end when it has been filled in by landfill or converted to an artificial pond.
