Environmental Risks of Mining
Environmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and ...

The topper most layer of the soil was bulldozed under the rock. It became the cheap and swift way to mine awaiting the U.S. Government made mining firms fix [regain] the land when the mining was done. To regain land, mining firms have to fix the land and make it like it was prior to. With strip mining, waste was pushed onto the final strip mined.

Due to the equilibration of pore pressures between the slope and the pit lake, the highest risk of a pit wall failure is expected to be at the beginning of closure as the dewatering pumps are shut off and filling begins. This assumption was confirmed by the results of the five pit filling scenarios for Victor Mine.
