Greening Solutions of Gura Rosiei Tailing Dam

Abstract: Tailing dams are special hydraulic constructions of retention, of permeable type, and represents all works related to installations of preparing mining masses, on one hand having as a purpose the mechanical treatment of waste water, and on the other hand safe storage generally indefinitely or undetermined, the sterile resulting from ores processing. This paper presents the stability study achieved on the emplacement of Gura Rosiei tailing dam, analysis that is aimed to assess the degree of stability of the three compartments that make up the deposit of tailings. Also proposed greening solutions for improving the management and safety tailing dam are presented. These solutions lead to decrease of risk factor, disappearance of certain sources of environmental pollution and diminish the intensity of others, and also to the integration into the environment of the area occupied by Gura Rosia TMF.
