Abstract
The document recompiles data from a study of wastewaters generated at ore and mining and dressing sites to support the development of national effluent guidelines to be included in NPDES permits issued for those facilities. The ore mining and dressing category includes extraction and beneficiation operations in the hard rock and mineral mining sectors. These sectors include iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, molybdenum, aluminum, tungsten, nickel, vanadium, mercury, uranium, antimony, titanium, and platinum. The summary contains the specific types of operations withineach sector, the organics analyzed,the metals analyzed, and a narrativedescription of the results of wastewater characterization for each process. The EPA's office of solid waste has recompiled the data contained in the effluent guidlines for possible use in its effort to develop a rational mining program.
