Acidic Drainage Management Plan

An Acidic Drainage Management Plan is a strategy designed to prevent and control the environmental impact of acid runoff from mining or industrial sites. Acidic drainage occurs when exposed rocks and minerals react with water and air, producing acidic water that can harm ecosystems and contaminate water sources. The plan includes measures like treating contaminated water, covering or sealing waste materials, and implementing proper site design to minimize exposure. Its goal is to reduce acid runoff, protect the environment, and ensure that site operations are sustainable and compliant with regulations.
