ABSTRACT:
A method for site remediation for mitigating contamination from metals or metal compounds, particularly resulting from the situation of mine tailing waste on or near water sources, including the reprocessing and redeposit of separated sands and slimes in-site in a manner to encourage rather than inhibit leaching of residuals by chelating agents or biological agents with recovery of leachate and removal of metals or metal compounds.
