Description:    Environmental management of acid generating tailings and waste rock has been a challenge facing the mining industry and government. With atmospheric oxygen as the crucial oxidant of sulphuric minerals, underwater disposal of tailings has been studied to reduce reaction rates. The water cover alternative of building a water cover on existing waste management sites was discussed.
