Tailings impoundment means any structure used to store or contain processed ore tailings (left over material) from a flotation or similar mineral process plant. Tailings Impoundment types may include cross valley, side hill, ring dike and valley bottom dams constructed by either upstream, downstream, or centerline methods. A Tailings Impoundment typically consists of an embankment that confines mill tailing in the form of a slurry and is engineered to provide for long- term geologic containment, control contaminant migration, and groundwater protection and related issues. Tailings Impoundments may also be referred to as a tailings repository when used for de-watered or dry tailings storage.

Related to Tailings impoundment

  • Surface impoundment or "impoundment" means a facility or part of a facility which is a natural topographic depression, man-made excavation, or diked area formed primarily of earthen materials (although it may be lined with man-made materials), which is designed to hold an accumulation of liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids, and which is not an injection well. Examples of surface impoundments are holding, storage, settling, and aeration pits, ponds, and lagoons.

  • Impoundment means a closed basin, naturally formed or artificially built, which is dammed or excavated for the retention of water, sediment, or waste.

  • Underground injection means the subsurface emplacement of fluids through a bored, drilled or driven well; or through a dug well, where the depth of the dug well is greater than the largest surface dimension. (See also “injection well”.)

  • tailings means material rejected from a mill after most of the valuable minerals have been extracted.

  • Recycled water or “reclaimed water” means treated or recycled waste water of a quality suitable for non-potable uses such as landscape irrigation and water features. This water is not intended for human consumption.
