... build tailings storage facili- ties (TSFs) to house the tailings until they can be stored in-pit and eventu- ally reclaimed. Aboveground tailings dams, which hold tailings ponds, are the most common types of TSFs; these facilities are among the first features constructed at a mine and remain features on the landscape. There are over 40 tailings dams in Alberta, many with extreme failure consequences. Figures 1 and 2 show examples of TSFs in Alberta, at a coal and oil sands mine, ...

In June 2013, a rare weather event on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains resulted in significantly above normal rainfall and accelerated snowmelt in the headwaters of the Bow and Elbow Rivers of Alberta, Canada. The resulting increase in water flowing to these two rivers led to flooding in downstream communities throughout Southern Alberta,...

Tailings dam safety is a frequent subject of discussion during mining project development. However, due to recent accidents with these structures, this issue has become even more prominent. A highlighted point is the risk management, which can be defined as the identification, analysis and maintenance of risks at acceptable levels during the design, construction and operation phases. Therefore, this article aims to present the direct application of ISO 31000: Risk Management applied to the safety management of tailings dams. Although not widespread, this standard brings guidelines and principles for the safety management of dams that will contribute to manage the risks associated with these structures in a systematic and effective way.
