Simulation of vertical transport in a mining pit lake / by P.F. Hamblin, C.L. Stevens and G.A. Lawrence.: En13-5/97-139E-PDF
"The paper describes the results of a field and modelling investigation of the Brenda Pit Lake in British Columbia. Sub-aqueous disposal of mine tailings is a technique whereby a mixture of water and finely ground rock is pumped to the bottom of a water body. Material from the slurry settles and consolidates forming a new lake bed with an overlying layer of water with high levels of dissolved material. The premise is that the water forms an inert cap, effectively containing the injected material. Environmental considerations require that the effectiveness of this storage method be explored. Both the field data and the model confirm the capping effect of the relatively salty water in the pit"--Page 1.
