It's the most extensive study on underwater tailing placement ever conducted. Over the course of 30 years, more than 400 million tons of tailing solids were deposited on the ocean floor with minimal environmental impact. The study evaluated the relevant issues associated with the implementation of a deep sea tailing placement program, including engineering, chemical, biological, and environmental considerations.Mineral industriesWaste disposalEnvironmental aspectsWaste disposal in the oceanTailings (Metallurgy)Environmental aspectsMineral industriesWaste disposalEnvironmental aspects.Waste disposal in the ocean.Tailings (Metallurgy)Environmental aspects.622/.028/6Poling George Wesley1701699MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808019203321Underwater tailing placement at Island Copper Mine4085650UNINA
