Abstract

The chapter delves into the prevention of mine drainage production through strategic construction techniques that mitigate air and water infiltration. It discusses the limitations of these methods and introduces alternative source controls such as physical barriers, sludge amendments, and inorganic coatings. The text also explores the use of shallow water tables and highlights the potential of Chemical Microbial Enhancement (CME) for highly reactive waste rock. Furthermore, it addresses on-site treatment methods for persistent mine drainage, emphasizing the effectiveness of passive treatments for low-flow waters. The chapter is enriched with practical recommendations and insights into the long-term stability and cost-effectiveness of various strategies.
