legacy mine

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
An inventory of legacy mine sites is currently being developed. The inventory will identify high risk sites with the potential to cause significant environmental impact.

The inventory and associated risk based assessment will be used to determine priority sites and the allocation of resources.

The inventory project is progressing towards maturity and has required considerable time and resources to develop due to the remote locations of many of the sites and the limited access during the wet season.

The inventory will be dynamic and will continually evolve as site conditions change and further information becomes available.

Wendy Gosselin (asker) Mar 5, 2018:
Definition of "mining legacies" in English This paper uses mining legacies as an umbrella term encompassing abandoned, orphan and derelict mine-sites, building on previous work by Worrall et al (2009) and Whitbread-Abrutat (2008). Both papers also define mining legacies as an umbrella term, referring to the negative legacies (impacts) of mining. Worrall et al (2009) defined legacy mined land as “… land which has been mined and is now being used for another purpose, or is orphaned, abandoned or derelict and in need of remedial work …” (p 1429).
