Tailing Pond Failures Steadily Increasing
Tailing Pond Failures Steadily Increasing
February 21, 2024
The attached table and report provides a comprehensive analysis of all serious tailing pond failures and very serious tailing point failures over the past 6 decades. Incidents of both the “serious” and “very serious” categories of failure are increasing rapidly, with “very serious” tailing pond failures at the fastest rate. With its ability to evaporate wastewater at 59x the normal rate, using no energy, EcoVAP is able to practically eliminate the likelihood of tailing pond failures by retrofitting existing ponds and the land footprint (about 1/50th) for new mine wastewater disposal.

Oil and Gas Waste Disposal is Endangering Water Sources
March 2025
While most of the environmental focus on oil/gas produced water disposal is on seismicity, the less talked about risk is the potential to contaminate freshwater drinking supplies. Although not as common or noticeable as earthquakes, the damage of contaminating an underground freshwater aquifer is much more long lasting, possibly permanent.

While EcoVAP’s biomimicry technology was originally developed to reduce wastewater disposal costs, we are always happy to reflect on all of its environmental advantages versus other means of disposing of contaminated water. (Photograph by Roy Mangersnes)
New Technology Allows Tailing Storage Facility Risk to Be Monitored from Space
