Copy of workshop presentation. McLeod presents his personal perspective on EoR, Canadian Dam Association initiation of EoR guidance, Mount Polley case study, and BC Ministry of Energy and Mines', Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia's, and Canadian Dam Association's Code and Guidance Documents
This guideline has been established to provide specific guidance and context to owners, engineers of records, regulators, consultants and auditors on the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) expectations for the application of the Code, and to assist operations in understanding and complying with the Code when it comes to tailings management. Variances from the Code must be supported with appropriate engineering justification, and submitted for approval by the Chief Inspector. An overview of the elements of a tailings management system is provided in this guideline. Although detailed instructions on developing and implementing specific elements are beyond the scope of this document, references are provided throughout. It is intended that periodic improvements will be made to this guideline as standards of practice advance and as MEM receives feedback from users.
