Compliance support for mining operations from feasibility through closure
Mine sites are subject to environmental regulations that require monitoring and data management. M&A offers a range of solutions to simplify the process of meeting compliance and reporting obligations. We also have tools for optimizing data collection efforts to ensure clients allocate resources as cost-effectively as possible.
M&A also provides support for the following:
- Aquifer protection: characterization, monitoring, and hydrogeologic report preparation for regulatory agencies. We have extensive experience helping clients meet the requirements of Arizona’s Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) program.
- Mine closure: regulatory compliance and remediation. We can also predict post-closure conditions, including the formation and passive containment of pit lakes.
