Stability of the Heap - PWC Update
Stability of the Heap - PWC UpdateNever mind the possible pucture/rupture of the remediation pond membrane, perhaps the heap will test that safety berm yet. If the remainder does move and more "solution" comes out then this just might re-test the assumptions to date on how much is actually remaining? Perhaps as HB has commented another type f cleanup solution needs to be investigated. Will it be expensive, of course. So is the current effort.
Of course the ultimate response could be to just "coffin it", let the pollution remain in the gulch and let it slowly recover and perculate over decades and then ban HEAP leaching forever from The Yukon. There are some current proposals under way that will make this "loss of containment" look like nothing should they fail.
