Ancold guidelines on tailings dams pdf

document. ANCOLD has had comprehensive Guidelines on Tailings Dams since 1999, with updates in 2012 and 2019. These have served the Australasian region well with a history of tailings dam safety and no life loss or significant environmental impact. ANCOLD is prepared to revise our Guidelines to complement any reasonable Global Committee on Large Dams' Guidelines on Tailings Dams - Planning, Design, Construction, Operation and Closure (ANCOLD 2012a), other ANCOLD guidelines and State Environment Protection Policies (SEPPs) where relevant • safe and structurally stable • managed to minimise impact on public safety, public infrastructure and the environment The Consequence Category framework is outlined in the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) Guidelines on Consequence Categories for Dams (ANCOLD, 2012b), and has been adopted in the ANCOLD Guidelines on Tailings Dams (ANCOLD, 2012a). Due to the importance of mining dams for the mines' operation, most of the dams are classified Large Dams (ANCOLD) Guidelines on Tailings Dams (ANCOLD, 2012) provides a good example of such link between the water and tailings dam s. The current practices in dam design (both water and mining ANCOLD has produced these new guidelines to provide a single base document that supports the DITR publication "tailings management" the new guidelines include much of the original guidelines but with appropriate updating. ANCOLD is pleased to make this contribution towards safe and cost-effective tailings dams. The Guidelines on the Safe Design and Operating Standards for Tailings Storage (DME 1999), are intended to provide a common approach to the safe design, construction, operation and rehabilitation of a tailings facility, and to provide a systematic method of classifying their adequacy under normal and worst case operating conditions (DME 1999).

For the purposes of the Church of England disclosure, a tailings storage facility has been defined by the International Council on Mining and Metals Tailings National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD). • Dams are classified to inform: Tailings dam classification This guideline will supersede the current 'Guideline on Tailings Dam Design, Construction and Operation' (ANCOLD, 1999). ANCOLD is an incorporated voluntary association of organisations and individual professionals with an interest in dams in Australia, including many mining companies and professionals working in the mining industry.
