Publisher's Synopsis
In response to frequent requests for guidance on the reclamation and management of non-ferrous metalliferous mining sites, an 18-month research programme was commissioned which pays particular attention to non-agricultural after uses. To compile the report current literature and practices were reviewed, a wide range of organizations consulted, and visits were made to over 30 sites in Great Britain.;The findings of the review were then distilled to provide the best practical options for dealing with sites contaminated either as a result of former mining operation or through the reworking of metalliferous mineral wastes, and also on the prevention of contamination at new workings.
