Abstract/Additional Information
In January 2017, GBA hosted over 50 industry leaders, including subject matter experts, regulators, owners, and practitioners for a Tailings EoR Workshop in Denver, Colorado.In January 2017, The event was designed to identify concerns of filling the role of the EoR for tailings dams and develop guidance for those working on such projects in the United States and abroad.
This Proposed Best Practices guideline provides recommendations from an informed body of geotechnical engineering practitioners for defining the roles and responsibilities of an EoR for a tailings dam or CCR dam to enhance safety, environmental suitability, and social sustainability.
