? Helicopter TEM data covering a large tailings dam and vicinity was inverted to give maps of conductivity at different depths.  The maps clearly show a shallow conductivity high over the tailings area, and another nearby high that probably reflects geology.  Both highs disappear below 50 m depth. The maps show no obvious AMD plume, however. The authors also made ground SP and IP surveys in an attempt to locate the plume, but these appear to be inconclusive. They think that drainage may be taking place along a fault in the electrically resistive (103-105 ohm-m) gneissic bedrock and they show thin linear conductivity highs in both section and plan views that appear to follow this fault.

? Compares DC sounding, VLF, seismic refraction, and TEM methods for tracing an AMD plume below a tailings dam in Canada. The plume was in soil containing many clay lenses, which complicated the interpretations.  DC, VLF, and seismic refraction were good at mapping bedrock at 4-25 m depth, but the plume was ambiguous.  Of these, VLF was far the fastest and cheapest. TEM did map the plume fairly well, but follow-up drilling was necessary to resolve the issues.

? Used a helicopter-borne 3-frequency system to map a plume extending over 2000 ft from a tailings pond.  The sensor was slung 30 to 45 m above the ground and survey lines were spaced 200 m apart.  The plume had conductivity of ~5mS/m in a background of ~1mS/m.  The size of the plume made it economical to use airborne, rather than ground, EM methods to trace it.

? Includes two particularly instructive examples involving repeat geophysical surveys to monitor evolution of plumes. The first, made with an EM-34T system, showed up a new lobe of the plume that had developed between surveys.  The second showed the GPR profiles reproduced here in Figure 6.  This paper also reports an attempt to trace an AMD plume using SP.  The results were strongly affected by near-surface conditions and were inconclusive.

? This paper contrasts two mine dumps in Colorado, one with a low and even IP response (<12 milliRadian phase shift)  and a second with local highs in its IP response (>40 mR phase shifts).  IP highs did not particularly correlate with conductivity highs.  Analyses of composite geochemical samples from the first dump showed <1 wt% sulfides, and about 6 wt% sulfides in the second (Steve Sutley, written commun., 1998), a result that supported the geophysical interpretation.

? EM-31 and EM-34, DC, and magnetics were used to investigate a deposit of mill tailings.  The EM units gave shallower (EM-31) and deeper (EM-34) details on tailings units, and on a plume migrating towards a nearby stream. DC gave depth to bedrock, and mag showed ferrous metal junk.

? Describes integrated GPR, EM, seismic reflection, and borehole geophysical work done by their firm to investigate basements and damsites prior to siting new tailings empoundment areas in Canada.  One part of this report tells of SASW (spectral analysis of surface waves) work done to help determine mechanical properties of a tailings pile in Ontario.  Geophones, which were wetted and allowed to freeze into place, were used to record seismic waves generated by weight drops and sledgehammer blows.  Spectral analyses of these wavetrains were then used to model vertical distributions (soundings) of shear strength under the source points. The models extended to about 20 m depth.  Such methods presumably could be used to find depths to water table and base of the tailings, as well as shear strength.

? A nice set of examples of using EM, VLF, and magnetics in abandoned coal mine workings in Pennsylvania. VLF used to locate fissures where surface water was flowing into underground mine workings, to emerge down gradient as AMD.  Elsewhere, EM units were used to trace edges of coal mine backfill and AMD from backfill. Magnetics used to find buried tipple refuse, a source of AMD, as well as lost tanks and drums.

? Schlumberger DC soundings, Wenner DC profiling, and borehole geoelectric work were done to map a plume from a landfill on Cape Cod.  There was an increase in formation factor (the ratio of the overall electrical resistivity of  a geological unit to that of its pore water alone) as the plume moves through an unconsolidated sand.  The authors speculate that residues from the landfill were clogging pores and that iron-oxidizing bacteria were precipitating dissolved iron so as to cause the observed increases.

? Seismic tomography to investigate a landfill in Switzerland. Geophones spaced 2 m apart on the surface recorded P-waves from multiple shots. The data, inverted using a tomographic inversion scheme, show the shape of the bottom of the landfill, which is up to 18 m deep.  It also shows some internal structure of the landfill.  Dump material had a P-wave velocity of about 1400 m/s, and that of the underlying unconsolidated gravel into which the landfill had been emplaced was about 1800 m/s. This seismic tomographic method should work for mine dumps as well as for landfills.

TAILINGS

L., 1994, A geochemical study of the main tailings impoundment at the Falconbridge Limited, Kidd Creek Division Metallurgical Site, Timmons, Ontario; in Jambor, J. L. and Blowes, D. W., eds., Short course handbook on environmental geochemistry of sulfide mine-wastes: Mineralogical Association of Canada, v. 22, p. 333-364.
? The Kidd Creek mine is a massive sulfide copper, lead and zinc ore deposit in southeast Ontario, Canada. The paper is a site-specific study into the investigative methods and analyzes results of pore-water quality geochemistry in the vadose and saturated zones of the tailings, the tailings solids, and the hydrogeology within the tailings. The goal of study was to characterize geochemical interactions among tailings pore water, pore gas and solids in hopes that the research can assist in prediction of future effluent quality (mill discharge-water).
? Sodium is added as part of the zinc refining process, which causes natrojarosite to form as a precipitate. Until 1985, natrojarosite residue was collected in a dedicated, lined settling pond (2.5 wt% of total tailings solids). The study documents the effects of 10+ years (at the time of publication) of co-disposal of natrojarosite with tailings slurry. Natrojarosite is thermodynamically unstable in the reducing conditions of sulfide rich tailings. One concern of this study was the possibility that ferric (Fe III) iron, released when natrojarosite goes into solution, would create/cause anaerobic oxidation of the sulfides in the tailings. This, in turn, could cause acid drainage releases from the impoundment.
? Based on the authors= assumptions, when natrojarosite dissolves in the tailings pore water, the acid neutralization capacity of the tailings solids at Kidd Creek is estimated to diminish by 9.6%. However, the actual mineralogy of the site indicates that this estimate is too high for this site. For the long term, natrojarosite will serve as a source of Na, K, Pb, Fe and SO4 in any discharges from the impoundment. The hydrogeologic study of the tailings impoundment revealed that groundwater flow is radial and outward from the spigot, located in the central part of the tailings. Results of the groundwater flow study within the tailings will aid in decommissioning the tailings impoundment.

? The literature up to the early 1990s generally recognized three broad categories in the approach to abatement of poor quality drainage from tailings impoundments: collection and treatment; infiltration controls; and, sulfide oxidation controls. This paper briefly discusses / evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches.
? Collection and treatment may be active, such as conventional water treatment systems, or passive, such as wetlands, woodwaste or peat that scavenges metals downstream from the discharge. Water treatment systems are capital intensive solutions that usually require long-term or perpetual treatment and maintenance, but are more effective in the long term that passive systems. In-situ treatment using porous reactive walls shows promise, but was discussed only briefly and was still under study at the time this paper was written.
? Infiltration controls, e.g., restricting entry of rainfall, surface water and groundwater, are viable options and are most effective when used in conjunction with the appropriate site selection. Since this is often not possible, the use of synthetic liners, cutoff walls and /or diversion trenching can re-direct contaminated groundwater to an in-situ treatment area.
? Sulfide oxidation controls include bactericides, armoring the sulfide mineral surfaces and oxygen diffusion barriers. The authors discuss several technologies in this category, but conclude that the effectiveness of most are not known or well understood for long term use.
? In this paper, the authors present a fourth alternative to acid drainage treatment and prevention, that of preventing sulfide oxidation. This can occur when sulfate reduction is promoted and subsequent precipitation of low-solubility sulfide minerals occurs at depth in the tailings under conditions where these minerals remain stable. Various techniques are discussed, such as deep water disposal, concentrating the sulfide minerals at the end of the flotation process for separate disposal, adding organic carbon to enhance sulfate reduction reactions and disposal of the tailings in a thickened slurry. At the time of this writing, the authors felt that deep water disposal was the most thoroughly evaluated, and that other options were still under study.

? This paper reports on a study of the varying degrees of sulfide oxidation found at three sites on the tailings pile. The objective of the study was to establish whether the intensity of sulfide oxidation correlates with overall microbial populations and whether certain microbial species predominate in the oxidation zones. The study showed that the bacteria were in abundance at the site where the acid generating process was most pronounced and thrived at the interface between the zones of unaltered tailings and the overlying altered sulfides. The paper briefly describes materials and methods of the study, including a microbiological study, mineralogical characterization, geochemical study and physical properties, then launches into a discussion of results of a progressively increasing geochemical maturation: the initiation of sulfide oxidation, the onset of acid drainage from the tailings, and the final stage where oxidation and acidification are well established. The authors conclude with a discussion about the relationships among the microbiological, geochemical and mineralogical observations.

? Tailings samples from a variety of locations in Canada were tested to predict leachate quality using the commonly available tests for neutralization potential vs. acid generating potential. Of the analytical techniques commonly used in North America to evaluate drainage quality from mine waste and overburden, three dynamic test methods were chosen: weathering chamber cells, columns and soxhlet reactors. Acid / base accounting was the static method used to predict leachate quality. The weathering cell tests were found to be the most accurate when test results were compared to actual drainage quality from the sites where the samples originated. The leachate quality from the 10 samples that were tested varied according to how much acidic leachate was produced versus how much alkaline material was present in each sample to neutralize.

Feenstra, S., Reades, D.W., et.al (Golder Associates & SENES Consultants), 1985, Uranium tailings sampling manual: Report NUTP-1 E, prepared for the National Uranium Tailings Program, 87 p.
? The Uranium Tailings Sampling Manual is the result of a five year, C$9.5 million R & D contract that discusses field sampling procedures for obtaining high quality, detailed geotechnical, geochemical, hydrological and air quality measurements at uranium mill tailings impoundments in Canada. The manual was initially intended as a reference on field sampling methods for Canada=s Atomic Energy Control Board and the provincial environmental regulatory agencies in establishing criteria for the decommissioning and abandonment of uranium mill tailings and long term protection of the environment and human health.
? The manual acknowledges that the scope of sampling must be adapted to the character of the particular tailings impoundment. Uranium tailings vary considerably in character throughout Canada, namely in composition, age, size and physiographic setting. This has bearing on designing a sampling program for each site. The principal environmental concerns addressed in this manual are surface water runoff, seepage (exfiltration of tailings pore water) to groundwater and surface water, wind-blown dust and radon exhalation.
? Although somewhat dated, the document is a good primer on approach and problem solving to sampling the various types of uranium mill tailings found in Canada.

? The authors state that adequacy of the sampling must be tailored to site-specific site situations, i.e., the degree of heterogeneity should be the sole dictate for determining what is an adequate population of representative samples and hence, an adequate and defensible characterization. AHow many is enough@ is a tough question when applied to characterization of waste rock and tailing facilities. The authors believe that there is no Acorrect@ number of samples that will apply to a general rule to adequately characterize a mine waste facility, such as samples per ton, per acre or per foot of drilled core. Using a statistical approach, they illustrate their point through the analysis of numerous samples to determine the adequacy of a sampling program for a large tailing facility in the western U.S.A. Their conclusion is that only enough samples need be taken to reach a relatively stable statistical distribution. Under ideal circumstances, one should take / analyze a relatively small batch of samples and wait for results before analyzing the next batch. In this way you would know exactly when to stop upon reaching a relatively stable statistical distribution. Their data also shows that simply adding a huge quantity of samples after reaching this stable statistical state yields only a very small increase in the statistical confidence level while adding greatly to the cost.

? In characterization of a large tailings impoundment in the western US, 229 samples were found to be adequate to characterize 1.5 billion tons of tailings. For mine waste sampling, the variability of the site should dictate the number of samples, as each site is different and sampling should be tailored to the site.
