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.

Predictably, the recent recovery Permian basin E+P activity has also led to increasing SWD volumes and earthquake “clusters". This has lead to more stringent regulations on the Texas side of the basin that are expected to affect 76 facilities. On the western side, New Mexico regulators are also considering a variety of measure to reduce earthquake risk.
