Underground disposal of coal mine wastes
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7247472
The report assesses the technological and economic feasibility of underground refuse disposal in the context of the full resource problem, considering the subsequent effect on the underground mining environment, costs and benefits as compared to other options, legal parameters, and related health factors. Considerations include safety of miners, groundwater contamination, backfilling methods, and losses in productivity. Existing legislation for coal mine waste disposal is reviewed. Tables and figures augment the text. (GRA)
