with time. The study will focus on the creep characteristics of the fine tails, which has been observed in_x000D_
previous (unpublished) studies. By better understanding the creep behaviour of the tails, it is expected that a_x000D_
more realistic model for sedimentation, consolidation and changes to the in-situ hydraulic conductivity of the_x000D_
tails can be developed. This work will provide a basis for additional testing and monitoring programs_x000D_
