Pinchi Lake mine closure : demolition debris disposal
The Pinchi Lake mine operated from 1940 to 1944, and again between 1968 and 1975. Between 2010 and 2012, the mine underwent decommissioning and reclamation. This paper reviews the development of the plans for on-site disposal of demolition debris from decommissioning of the infrastructure including...
