This book offers the guidelines on long-term confinement of
fine particulate waste products in a safe and environmentally acceptable
location. It seeks to present the state of the art, drawing on combined
experience from within the European Union (EU), on good international practice
where relevant and on lessons learnt from recent untoward incidents. These
guidelines have been developed in parallel with the development of the European
Standard on Earthworks (prEN 16907) and the contents have been influenced by
the well-publicised need for guidance to all stakeholders on both technical and
regulatory aspects of the permitting, design and construction of extractive
waste facilities in Europe. The Extractive Waste Directive (EWD) imposes a duty
on all operators and regulators to ensure the competent design, operation and
closure of such facilities. However, though some guidance has been published on
a limited number of related technical elements, the relevance of these
contributions has been diminished by the lack of an integrated approach. It is
now evident to both regulatory bodies and operators alike that a unified and
comprehensive document providing guidance to all stakeholders is required if
the future of mining within the EU is to be assured and further untoward
incidents avoided. These guidelines seek to address all technical stages of the
development of a hydraulic fill project in the context of the EWD, with an
emphasis on waste and facility characterisation and on the risk-based
assessments which underwrite them. They are intended for use by all
stakeholders involved in those European industries which involve the generation,
transport and storage of fine particulate waste products requiring long-term
confinement in a safe, stable and environmentally acceptable location.
