Submarine Disposal of Mill Tailings from on-Land Sources: An Overview and Bibliographic Compilation of References on the Biological, Chemical, Environmental, and Technical Aspects.

PB92227651

Publication Date	1992
Personal Author	Baer, R. L.; Sherman, G. E.; Plumb, P. D.
Page Count	106
Abstract	The U.S. Bureau of Mines (BOM) has undertaken studies of the disposal of mining and milling wastes in the marine environment. The BOM Alaska Field Operations Center, Juneau, initiated a review of the technology, regulations, and economic aspects of submarine tailings disposal (STD). The review illuminated the need for organization of literature on the subject, therefore the Bureau compiled this extensive bibliography on marine disposal of mill tailings. The bibliography presented here contains 1483 references and is also available through diskette in the WordPerfect format. A review of the references indicates that literature on submarine disposal inadequately covers the subject. The majority of the references listed only peripherally relate to the subject. Published literature on the engineering and environmental aspects of STD is severely limited.
