  Abstract Der Bruch des Dammes einer Halde der Grube Nr. 14 des Kupfer- Bergbaubetriebes Pinto Valley in Arizona, USA, im Jahre 1997 führte zum Eintrag von 370000 yd(exp 3) Bergematerials und Tailings in das Bett des Flusses Pinto Creek, USA, wodurch letzteres blockiert wurde. Der Vorfall ereignete sich in bergigem Gelände unterhalb eines 14 Quadratmeilen großen Abschnittes des Flusseinzugsgebietes oberhalb des Sees Roosevelt Lake, USA, einer Trinkwasserquelle für Phoenix, USA. Aufgrund der Bedeutung des Gebietes wurde eine Strategie zur Verhütung weiterer Beeinträchtigungen der Wasserqualität ausgearbeitet. Diese beinhaltete Managementaspekte zur Gewährleistung einer schnellen Planung und Ausführung der notwendigen Arbeiten gekoppelt mit der Planung, dem Bau und dem Betrieb von Rückhalte und Umleitungssystemen für auftretende Wässer. Die Auslegung dieser Systeme erfolgte auf der Grundlage der Daten des Einzugsgebietes und der klimatischen Verhältnisse, wobei verschiedene Wahrscheinlichkeiten der Überschreitung der ermittelten Werte berücksichtigt wurden. Innerhalb von acht Monaten konnten die Tailings aus dem betroffenen Gebiet entfernt werden, ohne dass belastete Oberflächenwässer freigesetzt wurden.

  Title Using passive treatment systems for mine closure – A good approach or a risky alternative? Type Journal Article

  Abstract In 1991, LTV Steel Mining decided to close an open-pit taconite mine in northeastern Minnesota using a passive-treatment approach consisting of limiting infiltration into the stockpiles and wetland treatment to remove metals. More than 50 Mt (55 million st) of sulfide-containing waste had been stockpiled adjacent to the mine during its 30 years of operation. Drainage from the stockpiles contained elevated levels of copper, nickel, cobalt and zinc. Nickel is the major trace metal in the drainages. Before the closure, the annual median concentrations ranged from 1.5 to 50 mg/L. Copper, cobalt and zinc are also present but they are generally less than 5% of the nickel values. Median pH levels range from 5 to 7.5, but most of the stockpile drainages have pH levels greater than 6.5. Based on the chemical composition of each stockpile, a cover material was selected. The higher the potential that a stockpile had to produce acid drainage, the lower the permeability of the capping material required. Covers ranged from overburden soil removed at the mine to a flexible plastic liner. Predictions of the reduction in infiltration ranged from 40% for the native soil to more than 90% for the plastic liner. Five constructed wetlands have been installed since 1992. They have removed 60% to 90% of the nickel in the drainages. Total capital costs for all the infiltration reduction and wetlands exceeded $6.5 million, but maintenance costs are less than 1% of those for an active treatment plant. Because mine-drainage problems can continue for more than 100 years, the lower annual operating costs should pay for the construction of the wetland-treatment systems within seven years.
