Reuse of Mining Waste, from the Interstate Technology Regulatory Commission (ITRC), is designed to help communities determine if there is an appropriate use for solid mining waste. These materials have a range of physical and chemical properties that make them both potentially valuable and potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The guidance includes: 

  • An introduction to mining wastes
  • Considerations for reusing mining waste
  • Potential applications for the reuse of solid mining waste
  • Review of technologies used in mineral beneficiation and processing
