The focus of this advisory leaflet is thus on the plant safety from a constructional and hydraulic engineering point of view. It nevertheless seeks to devote adequate space to the environmental aspects of such facilities which are receiving increasing recognition.
The advisory leaflet the contents of which are primarily keyed to existing plants, whether still in service of decommissioned, will prove a useful guide for owners and operators of tailing impoundments and for technical specialists, inspecting experts and approval authorities.
