Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities

This Tailings Guide provides guidance on best practices for the safe, and environmentally and socially responsible management of tailings facilities. Its purpose is threefold:

to provide a framework for the management of tailings facilities;
to help Owners of tailings facilities develop tailings management systems that include environmental and safety criteria; and
to improve the consistency of application of reasonable and prudent engineering and management principles to tailings facilities.

Tailings and any associated water must be responsibly managed. Responsible management includes the prevention of impacts to human health and safety, the environment, and infrastructure. Tailings are managed in engineered facilities that are planned, designed, constructed, operated, closed and maintained in the long-term post-closure period (i.e., throughout the facility life cycle) in a manner consistent with the need for responsible management. Responsible management is defined by comprehensive assessments of the risks associated with a tailings facility, both physical and chemical, that evaluate the potential health, safety, environmental, societal, business, economic and regulatory impacts, and the implementation of appropriate controls to effectively manage those risks.
