Mining activity has left a legacy of hazards to the environment; such as waste; unstable ground and contamination; which can be problematic when redeveloping land. This book highlights the effects of past mining and provides information on the types of problems which may occur in both urban and rural areas. By way of example; the book also demonstrates how such problems may be anticipated; investigated; predicted; prevented and controlled. Furthermore; it shows how sites already affected by mining problems and hazards maybe be remediated and rebahibilitated. Covering subsidence; surface mining; disposal of waste; problems resulting from mine closure and mineral processing; Mining and its Impact on the Environment is an excellent reference for practicing mining and geotechnical engineers; as well as students in this field.
