Description:
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the exchange of scientific infomation on current approaches for assessing the characterization, monitoring, treatment and/or remediation of impacts on aquatic ecosystems including pit lakes from mining-related contamination in the Western U.S.
The specific objectives are to provide:
Characterization and assessment of the pit lakes problem in the U.S. and the environmental risks posed from historical, current and future perspectives
Reviewing the state-of-the-practice in modeling, how correctly models predict field conditions, and their use in regulatory and environmental decision-making
Discussion of pit lake remediation technologies, case studies, and an assessment of future research needs
Impacts of mining activities on ecosystems and possible activities for habitat restoration
