Abstract |
Responsible mining companies have done much to redress the environmental damage of earlier technologies and continue to do more. In the Sudbury Basin, one of the most important mining areas in the world, both Inco Limited and Falconbridge Limited, two of the largest nickel producers, have significantly decreased sulphur dioxide emissions in the last 40 years from substantially 100% to about 10% or less of the sulphur in the ore; decreased water effluents by recycling; treated effluents to comply with government regulations; revegetated mine rock and surface tailings deposits and rehabilitated landscapes in the surrounding communities. Inco and Falconbridge continue to develop improved means for environmentally sound handling of all wastes including recycling and to reclaim land at abandoned mine sites. They have developed and implemented environmental policies and codes of practice, not only to comply with regulations, but to anticipate them. The mining industry recognizes the need for regulation to protect human health and the environment. Existing regulations are based on a hazard assessment approach. A more realistic, pragmatic and cost-effective basis for regulation is risk management. This relates any documented effects to measured exposures and recognizes the need for exposure levels low enough that incidence of adverse health effects is as low as in the surrounding ecosystem. |

Abstract |
Passive-treatment systems that mitigate acid-rock drainage from coal mines have been operating since the mid-1980s. Large systems at metal mines are being contemplated. A typical man-made passive-treatment-system can mimic a natural wetland by employing the same geochemical principles. Passive-treatment systems, however, are engineered to optimize the biogeochemical processes occurring in a natural wetland ecosystem. The passive-treatment methodology holds promise over chemical neutralization because large volumes of sludge are not generated. Metals may be precipitated as oxides, sulfides or carbonates in the passive-treatment system substrate. The key goal of a passive-treatment system is the long-term immobilization of metals in the substrate materials. The passive-treatment technique may not be applicable in all mine-drainage situations. -from Author |

Abstract |
Extreme acid-rock drainage is the dominant long-term environmental concern at the Summitville mine and could have been predicted given the geological characteristics of the deposit. Extensive remedial efforts are required to isolate both unweathered sulfides and soluble metal salts in the open-pit area and mine-waste piles from weathering and dissolution. Results of studies as of late 1993 indicate that mining at Summitville has had no discernible short-term adverse effects on barley or alfalfa crops irrigated with Alamosa River water. Remediation of the site will help to ensure that no adverse effects occur over the longer term. -from Editor |
