ACID ROCK DRAINAGE -
MEND Reports

The Mine Environment Neutral Drainage (MEND) program is a major seven-year Canadian collaborative initiative between the mining industry and government. The program vastly improved research and development efforts related to the application of technologies and management practices for the prevention, treatment and control of ARD. SENES was a key contributor to these efforts through the development of several reports illustrating fundamental research and state-of-the-art practices in this area.

Report Number

Report Title

1.14.3e

Peer Review of MEND Studies Conducted from 1990 to 1994 on Acid Mine Drainage at Mine Doyon South Waste Rock Dump.
