• Sommario/riassunto: This book documents an important case study on the use of deep sea tailing placement at the Island Copper Mine on Canada's Vancouver Island. 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.
