Mining Site Redevelopment
EPA has prepared Mine Site Cleanup for Brownfields Redevelopment: A Three-Part Primer to provide information about approaches that have been used for redevelopment of mining sites.
It provides an overview of mining site redevelopment, as well as new and innovative approaches, such as the Triad approach,
to more efficiently characterize and cleanup those sites. New and innovative approaches to streamline characterization
and remediation of mining sites offers stakeholders the potential for redevelopment at a lower cost and within a shorter
timeframe. The primer is available in three parts:
- Part 1 – Overview, summarizes the basic issues surrounding mine site cleanup for brownfields redevelopment, including innovative
characterization and remediation approaches.
- Part 2 – Coal Mine Sites, includes detailed technical information about the characterization, remediation, and redevelopment of coal mine
sites, focusing on sites in the Eastern United States. It is intended for those with an interest in and knowledge of the technical details of
redevelopment of mine sites.
- Part 3 – Hard Rock Mine Sites, contains detailed technical information about the characterization, remediation, and redevelopment of hard rock
mine sites. It is designed for an audience with knowledge of and interest in the technical aspects of hard rock mine redevelopment.
Many of the resources cited in this primer, and other relevant resources about redevelopment of mining sites, are provided below.
