Mining Waste Management

Mining waste management involves handling and disposing of leftover materials from mining activities, such as rocks, soil, and chemicals, in a way that minimizes environmental impact. Proper management includes storing waste safely, preventing contamination of water and soil, and using techniques like containment ponds, land reclamation, and recycling. The goal is to reduce pollution, protect ecosystems, and ensure safety for nearby communities, while also complying with regulations. Effective waste management is crucial for sustainable mining practices, balancing resource extraction with environmental stewardship.
