REFLECTION GAPS This project presents a relatively complete regeneration plan for a post-mining area, spanning a period of over 30 years. The general framework of the project is feasible, but there are still parts of the project that are not addressed as a landscape-oriented project.
“Natural“ 1. Tailings This project involves a site area of nearly 4,000 hectares, which is a really huge site. It contains almost all characteristics of a mining industry except for the tailings which would be considered as the end of the ore lifeline. the tailings ponds are no less ecologically damaging than open pits and dumps. Moreover, remediation process of tailing is also a hot topic in post-mining filed, it is complicated and involves more ecological engineering techniques. And one more reason I haven’t include this part, it is far away from the three mining sites. But if it is a real project, tailings is one of the most important part that can never be ignored in a mining remediation plan.
