Abstract
A summary is presented of the rather limited information available in the literature pertaining to the use of sealants for mine and mill tailings ponds. Included is a discussion of currently employed seepage detection methods, as well as the various types of sealants currently in use--compacted earth, clays, chemicals, waste tailings solids, asphalt, and synthetic membranes. Only properly installed synthetic liners will prevent all seepage. Installation costs of the sealants, including labor, are discussed and graphs for estimating costs based on pond size are presented. Regulations governing the amount of seepage allowed are ill-defined or non-existent in the majority of states.
