A combination of strong waste management policy and applied technology may result in a good tailing management of gold mining. The NMGM has an environmental policy statement and it needs to effectively implement in tailing management. The corporate social responsibility program of the company should take into account the environment issues. In addition, a fact that does not exist a comprehensive regulation, sites which have been designed, operated and closed using appropriate control measures of waste mining. The sustainable waste management policy might a framework for current pollution prevention technology is applied to the operation. A specific control measures are proving to be effective in retroactively controlling acid generation at some sites in combination with varied environmental features of the sites. Therefore, gold mining project must be evaluated in terms of the specific nature of the anticipated waste materials and its site characteristics in order to develop an effective waste management …show more content…
Controlling of technology and continuing research activity have been shown to be effective in management of mine wastes and also applied to the closure of existing facilities and reclamation of abandoned sites. However, at most of these sites, the control technology was implemented after the effectiveness of the control measures are reflected in a reduction of composed fine particles (sand, silt, and clay-sized material) and a high water content, which is particularly troublesome to manage. In response to tailing bad management and water contamination, the policy is in light of giving option to store the tailing in a dam. The dam design must be very technical, and takes a number of site-specific factors into consideration, such as flooding and earthquake predictions, seepage control, tailings discharge method and rate, and changes over the lifetime of the dams. Moreover, the water from the tailing dam can be recycled and reused for gold mining operation and dust suppression, or treated and discharged into the environment.
The sustainable waste water management regulatory approach for the NMGM’s waste facilities is essential to regulate such sites in accordance with the same technical criteria and principles as those applied to other solid waste facilities. One of the basic elements of this
