The disposal of materials on mine sites needs to be handled with detailed engineering, monitoring, and maintenance at every stage of the mine life cycle to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Tailings need to be safely contained and managed, water management plans and recycling efforts need to be implemented in the face of scarcity, and mitigation measures are necessary to prevent contamination, erosion and sedimentation in nearby water bodies. Water and waste management systems need to be designed well but also implemented effectively, such as water truck fill point standpipe systems for dust suppression and water delivery.
Not only do sediment or acid runoffs result in costly cleanup efforts that can be financially damaging to a mine operator’s bottom line, but social license to operate and investment prospects can also be severely affected.
A multi-faceted approach that incorporates technological innovation, improved operational practices, stakeholder engagement and collaboration with regulators and local communities can secure your mine’s social license to operate for long term sustainability of your mine. YCP Unison can work with your teams to ensure regulation compliance, as well as prevent costly fines and cleanups.
