ClosureTurf allows for phased closures of stacks and impoundments and can greatly reduce risks of surface and groundwater contamination ultimately leading to major reduced costs in water treatment. ClosureTurf also reduces environmental impacts and reduces risks to human and ecological receptors.
Tailings, also called tailing ponds, are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable portion from an uneconomic portion of an ore. The pond is generally impounded with a dam and known as a tailing’s impoundment. Tailings ponds are used to store waste made from separating minerals from rocks (slurry) produced from mining. ClosureTurf provides many benefits to mining applications.
