To be sure, the mining industry has been environmentally slow.
Although great strides have been made, the mining industry generally has been very slow to do a better job.
Toward a Solution
The solution to this problem is to develop new approaches to mining that, individually and collectively, serve to reduce dramatically its impacts – while at the same time improving its efficiency and economics. Economic improvement is critical, because if impact reduction does not involve economic benefit it will not be willingly and widely adopted. Fortunately, there are a number of promising strategies for reducing mining's impact and improving its balance sheet. For example:
Identify and Develop New Mining Methods.
It is not hard to envision new methods of mining that would have less impact on the environment and would reduce or eliminate scarring of the land. For example, perhaps techniques as diverse as directional drilling in the petroleum industry and for that matter laparoscopic surgery in medicine could be applied to recovering valuable metals and minerals while dramatically reducing the amount of rock that must be moved. At the very least such an approach is suggestive. Take a systems approach to planning projects. If projects are planned from the outset with a low impact perspective, it should be possible to avoid problems or turn potential problems into assets. For example, open pits can be used as lakes or reservoirs if a project is properly planned. Perhaps post-recovery uses could be found for underground mines if such uses were taken into account at the design phase.
Create an Environmental Certification Agency for New Mining Projects.
A key objection to mining from the environmental industry is that they have little faith in the outcome of mining operations. A certified project would eliminate doubt. Approved projects could proceed faster, thereby rewarding good mining practices. It's time to make mining work in the environment.
