Moon Creek tailings containment, Idaho Panhandle National Forest, Shoshone County, Idaho - Case Study
NEARLY five to six years ago, when one walked through the lower tailings areas of the Moon Creek site, it may have indeed seemed like a lunar landscape: there were very few trees or plants growing along the narrow valley floor, only the tan and dusty tailings remaining from the abandoned upstream mine and mill. Lead, zinc, cadmium, arsenic and other heavy metals within these tailings were ...

Release of metals and arsenic from various mine tailings by Eriophorum angustifolium
Abstract Previous investigations have found that plants grown on sulphide-rich mine tailings have phytostabilising effects on acid mine drainage (AMD) by decreasing the pH and preventing the release of metals. The possibility of similar effects on tailings containing other minerals was investigated here. The aim was to examine the effects of Eriophorum angustifolium on four water-covered mine ...

Mine backfill
Mine backfill is defined as the material used to fill the cavities (i.e., stopes) created by underground mining. Backfilling can be a means to dispose of sludge and/ or tailings which may contain hazardous materials and to reduce surface environmental impacts by storing tailings underground. Alternately, backfilling with nonhazardous materials can allow for mining productivity improvements. To ...
