action is minimizing water in contact with the potential acid material. The method is easy to apply but need to be careful in diverting the water. 2. Soil compaction The purpose of this step is to reduce the soil permeability. It means reducing the hydraulic conductivity and diffusion of oxygen. This action will reduce the water penetrate the tailing and sulfide metal oxidation. 3. Dry covers The purpose of this method is to prevent oxygen and water penetration. According to (Pozo-Antonio, et…
