Some of the additions to the manual include:
Impounding facility concepts including slurry cell...
- Impounding facility concepts including slurry cells, and combustion ash co-disposal
- Site exploration methods including surface and borehole geophysics
- Site mining and foundation issues including evaluation of breakthrough potential
- Seismic issues associated with the design of coal refuse impoundments
- Mine entry barriers and bulkheads
- Stability and seepage analyses including filter compatibility
- Decant backfilling options
- Dam safety instrumentation
- Preparation of emergency action plans
