6.3.4 Surface structures that still fail to meet the requirements of Article 10.1.2 after taking decontamination treatment measures shall be properly disposed of according to radioactive waste requirements. 6.4 In-ground leaching site
The decommissioning treatment of in-ground leaching mining must restore the mine water to acceptable water quality standards and prevent groundwater and surface water from being polluted. 6.5 Dressing and smelting plant
6.5.1 Decommissioning of the dressing and smelting plant, the contaminated ground, floor and building base shall be removed in accordance with the requirements of Article 10.1.2 and Appendix A A3, and these wastes may be buried in the tailings library.
6.5.2 The decommissioned heap leach site must deposit its waste residue in the tailings pond or cover it with suitable materials and dispose of it properly. 6.5.3 Sites contaminated by ore piles must be cleared. If necessary, detectors can be used to detect deeply buried contaminants and removed until the residual pollution on the surface is reduced to an acceptable level. 6.6 Waste rock field
6.6.1 The waste rock field should build rock dams to prevent the loss of waste rock in landslides. 6.6.2 Set up flood control ditches around the waste rock field to prevent flooding from flooding the waste rock field. 6.6.3 When the average precipitation rate on the surface of the waste rock field exceeds the limit specified in Article A2 of Appendix A, it should be covered with soil and vegetation. 6.7 Tailings Pond
