Few industries are held as accountable for environmental concerns and regulations of extraordinary magnitude and complexity as today's mining industry. CDM focuses on our mining client's ultimate need to achieve and maintain environmental compliance with acceptable operating cost limits. We advise clients with both past and current mining/milling operations on strategies to proactively minimize environmental liability and avoid costly mitigation activities. At the same time, CDM develops compliance strategies for mining companies to minimize or eliminate violations and negotiate with environmental agencies. We also evaluate mining/milling sites to determine how regulatory authorities will view the site.
CDM's services to the mining industry include regulatory document preparation, risk assessment, permitting, remedial investigation/feasibility study, mitigation, systems design, construction, operations and maintenance, water treatment, stormwater permitting, fate and transport evaluations of arsenic and heavy metals, geochemical studies, treatability studies, groundwater and surface water hydrology studies, computer modeling, litigation support, community relations, reclamation, and storage tank management.
