“A tailings dam is a facility that is designed and managed to contain the tailings produced by a mine. A tailings facility includes the collective engineered structures, components, and equipment involved in the management of tailings solids, other mine waste managed with tailings (e.g. waste rock, water treatment residues), and any water managed in the facility, including pore fluid, any ponds, and surface water inflows and discharges”.<ref name="ICMM Tailing Management">[[Tailings Management: Good Practice Guide | Tailings Management: Good Practice Guide, ICMM, 2021]]</ref> | “A tailings dam is a facility that is designed and managed to contain the tailings produced by a mine.

An industrial waste dam in which the waste materials come from mining operations or mineral processing.
“A tailings dam is a facility that is designed and managed to contain the tailings produced by a mine. A tailings facility includes the collective engineered structures, components, and equipment involved in the management of tailings solids, other mine waste managed with tailings (e.g. waste rock, water treatment residues), and any water managed in the facility, including pore fluid, any ponds, and surface water inflows and discharges”.[1]
