Abstract

Over the past 10 years, the Canadian government/industry (Mine Environment Neutral Drainage) MEND program has undertaken a detailed study of mine drainage with the objective of developing mitigating procedures (Sly 1996). An important conclusion is that placement of tailings underwater can prevent or reduce acid rock drainage (ARD). This technical conclusion has been supported by an independent review (Rawson 1992).
