Evaluation of Capping Methods at Homestake Open Cut Mine
Abstract
To facilitate the construction of DUNE, ~800,000 tons of rock will be blasted, skipped, conveyed, and discharged into the open cut in Lead, SD. When the excavation phase of construction is completed in May 2024, evaluation of potential environmental impacts caused by the deposited rock must be done. The main concern is the potential for dust to become airborne if there is the presence of high wind and lack of precipitation.
