| Abstract Scope |
Solid mining waste represents a significant quantity of waste material in the United States and around the world. The reuse of solid mining waste can consist of reprocessing and repurposing the waste for resource recovery or a new application or product. The Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC) is creating a Technical Guidance document and associated training on potential reuses of solid mining waste. The guidance will cover characterizing the waste material, risk and regulatory considerations, and potential applications and technologies to transform solid mining wastes for beneficial reuse. This presentation will provide an overview of reusing solid mining waste and of the guidance.
The ITRC is a state-led environmental coalition working to create innovative solutions and best management practices for the environmental sector. ITRC represents all 50 states with membership from state, federal, tribal, and international agencies, as well as members from academia, the private sector, and the public. |
