SUMMARY:Methods for Predicting Metal Leaching and Acid Rock Drainage Potential
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will provide an introduction to the subject topic for scientists and engineers who are involved in any projects that require management of waste rock to address water quality effects from runoff. Basic principles will be discussed with a focus on site-specific approaches rather than recipes. As the day progresses\, attendees will work in teams on several workshops to apply learnings. Each workshop is followed by a class discussion. \nBenefits of Attending \nUpon completion of the workshop\, attendees will have an understanding of the processes involved in metal leaching and acid rock drainage and the application and limitations of techniques used to characterize potential for water quality effects. \nNo prior knowledge of geology or chemistry is required to attend the course. \nContent Overview \nThe following topics will also be covered: \nWhy is this topic important?\nOverview of regulatory setting in British Columbia\nBrief chemistry background (pH\, acidity\, metals and other potential contaminants)\nRelevant geological and mineralogical background\nDescription and origin of metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD)\nConcepts for mitigation of ML/ARD\nOverall approach to prediction of ML/ARD\nDesigning a prediction program\nPrediction tools\nInterpreting prediction data\nHands-on opportunities to examine rock and mineral samples \nInstructor Bio \nStephen Day\, M.Sc.\, P.Geo. (BC)\, P.Geol. (AB)\, P.Geo. (NT and NU)\nSRK Consulting \nStephen obtained B.Sc and M.Sc degrees in Geological Sciences from the University of British Columbia in the 1980s. Beginning in the late 1980s and continuing the present day he works in the field of managing rock wastes to address metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD) potential. This includes numerous proposed\, operating and closed mines primarily in the Americas\, and infrastructure projects such as pipelines\, roads and airports. His input to these projects includes the development of conceptual management plans\, water chemistry predictions and preparation of documents for regulatory processes.
