This guide has been provided to assist tailings storage facilities (TSFs) designers and operators with preparing the required reports for managing a TSF. It describes the reports that should be submitted to the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) in accordance with section 4 of the Mining Proposal guidelines as required by the Mining Act 1978 and the Tailings storage facilities in Western Australia – code of practice.
While there is no definitive format required for these reports, certain information is required in order to assure DMP that a TSF can be managed safely.
As necessary, this guide will be updated to present required changes to each report. Refer to the latest online guide to ensure essential requirements are covered in submitted reports.
