Description:    The prevention of acid mine drainage by developing permafrost in tailings was examined. Also discussed was the maintenance of tailings frozen in continuous and discontinuous permafrost regions. Case histories of thermal regimes at existing mines were reviewed to determine the factors influencing the development of permafrost. Cover options, designs, and cost estimates for tailings impoundments in permafrosts were also provided.
Notes: Summary in English and French.
