Mining activities have always raised environmental and social concerns due to their impact on natural resources and people. During the last decade, the stakeholder base expected to respond to these sustainability concerns has broadened from directly involved parties to a range of indirect stakeholders along the downstream mineral value …

species may help to identify per iods of acute risk when mitigation measures can be more effective. For example, Bea udry et al. (2010) integrated data on turtle m ovements and traffic volume in to

b. Monitoring that will be conducted to ensure that measures to prevent or mitigate impacts remain effective. 3.3.3.2. Mitigation measures shall prioritize the avoidance of risks and impacts over minimization and compensation. 3.3.3.3.

Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation module). Forest degradation is best addressed by a comprehensive approach aimed at its direct and underlying drivers. The table provides examples of technical actions that can help prevent or halt forest degradation. Examples of undesirable effects leading to forest degradation

Investments in climate change adaptation in and around mine sites will help the mining sector manage the risks that climate change poses to operations and supply chains. Such investments can also help to build the adaptive capacities of communities …

Mining has been blamed globally for harmful and impoverishing effects. Most countries are rich sources of gemstone, yet there is very little development, since miners, and those around mining sites, still live in abject poverty. This study sought answers on: "how mining activities have affected communities' livelihoods?". Data was gathered …

predicted impacts and mitigation measures for a mining proposal before it is finalized or approved. When developing mitigtion strategies the use of a mitigation hierarchy to avoid, or where avoidance is not possible, minimize or compensate for impacts to workers, communities and the environment is widely considered a best

2. Mitigating strategies at programme and project levels 3. References CAVEATS This query was handled as an urgent request and provides initial information on mitigation measures that can be considered in highly corrupt environments. Author(s)

One of the most significant impacts of mining activity is the migration of people into a mine area,particularly where the mine represents the single most important economic …

Background Since the 1960s, environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and recently, social impact assessments (SIAs), have been conducted during the planning stages of large development projects to identify potential adverse effects and propose mitigation measures to ameliorate these impacts. EIAs and SIAs should outline all …

Mitigation measures designed for the alleviation of negative impacts of mining on social and environmental systems may not always be effective and may have undesired and unintended consequences, particularly in the long-term and across diverse systems (e.g. the intersection between environmental and social): for example, a …

For example, studies of EIA legislation in Africa found the requirement for mitigation measures within EIA processes to be generally inadequate (Sandham et al., 2013). Further, an analysis of Zimbabwean EIA legislation concluded that mitigation as a concept is ill-defined and measures to implement the MHPs are lacking ( Gwimbi and …

The major potential environmental impacts associated with mining and associated mineral processing operations are related to erosion-prone landscapes, soil and water quality, and air quality. These potential impacts are recognized and addressed in current mining operations as well as in some former mining operations by reclaiming areas of ...

Mitigation measures that would be implemented during closure and decommissioning of the Project are described in Section 8.0, Closure and Decommissioning. Mitigation measures described in this section are cross-referenced to the specific section of the EIS where the Company has committed to implementation of the measure. In …

environment and the community affected by the proposal. Mitigation is both a creative and practical phase of the EIA process. It seeks to find the best ways and means of avoiding, minimising and remedying impacts. Mitigation measures must be translated into action in the correct way and at the right time if they are to be successful.

Suggested mitigation measures against land degradation and deforestation in the mining areas. Source publication Environmental Impacts: Local Perspectives of Selected …

The electrification transition will intensify the demand for lithium. The endowment in the Lithium Triangle is significant, and the expectations for the global supply are high in terms of resources and sustainability. In this paper, we investigate the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges to the future of sustainable …

Protection and mitigation measures will be implemented where practical and in consideration of the evaluation criteria. The intent is to balance the technical and environmental constraints for the proposed design refinements and alternatives. The following outline the proposed protection and mitigation measures to be reviewed and …

Understanding the influence of COVID-19 on China's agricultural economy and the Chinese government's emergency measures to ease the economic impacts of viral spread can offer urgently-needed lessons while this virus continues to spread across the globe. Thus, this study collected over 750,000 words upon the topic of COVID-19 and …

Deep seabed mining is a major new intersection of human enterprise and deep-ocean ecosystems. This paper reviews the concept and process for a holistic approach to planning environmental ...

Mitigation and prevention. Reducing the height from which the material discharges are made, washing the tires of vehicles, placing covers on conveyor belts or storage points, or reducing the speed of the vehicles are other examples of the different dust reduction measures that can be applied in a mining environment.

mitigation measures and their enforcement should be produced. Impacts that require mitigation may be identified throughout the whole EIA process, frequently after the preparation of the environmental statement (ES) (Wood, 2003). Almost by definition, therefore, there is a merging of a range of mitigation types (for ex-

2. Protecting the Health of Local Communities is a Shared Responsibility. Mining companies have a clear responsibility toward preventing the spread of diseases within their workforce, but defining a similar role vis-à-vis local communities is less straightforward. From a corporate standpoint, investing in communities is critical for …

3. Processing Chemicals Pollution. This kind of pollution occurs when chemical agents (such as cyanide or sulphuric acid used by mining companies to separate the target mineral from the ore) spill, leak, or leach from the mine site into nearby water bodies. These chemicals can be highly toxic to humans and wildlife. 4.

The mining sector, in particularly copper mining, has for decades been the backbone of the Zambian economy. In particular in the two provinces with large scale mining activities: the Copperbelt and the North Western province. Most of the Zambian mining industry was privatised in the early 2000s, following several decades of state ownership.

Appropriate risk mitigation involves first identifying potential risks to a project—like team turnover, product failure or scope creep—and then planning for the risk by implementing strategies to help lessen or halt the risk. The following strategies can be used in risk mitigation planning and monitoring. 1. Assume and accept risk.

ments and communities have heightened their demands on mining companies for higher royalties for mineral access, investment in infrastructure, and contributions toward the delivery of social services. Compounding these above-the-ground risks is the fact the three constituent parties involved in mining have their own, often competing, agendas.
