Disturbance of flora from utility construction tends to generate new plant growth. This growth changes productivity, diversity, and stability.

This Tailings Guide provides guidance on best practices for the safe, and environmentally and socially responsible management of tailings facilities.

Earthquakes attributable to human activities are called induced seismic events or induced earthquakes. In the past several years induced seismic events related to energy development projects have drawn heightened public attention.

The purpose of this process memorandum is to describe additional supporting resource information in detail. The Tribal Resources section of Chapter 3 of the EIS includes brief summaries of the information contained in this process memorandum.

Resolution Copper (RC) has established the Independent Technical Review Board (ITRB) in accord with the Rio Tinto D5 Standard. This action comports with current international best practices for siting and design of large and complex tailings storage facilities.

North America’s climate has changed and some societally relevant changes have been attributed to anthropogenic causes (very high confidence). Recent climate changes and individual extreme events demonstrate both impacts of climate-related stresses and vulnerabilities of exposed systems (very high confidence).

Windblown dust, an environmental problem in many disturbed arid lands, has the potential to affect the physiological performance of desert shrubs. Physiological parameters of gas exchange for three species (Larrea tridentata, Hymenoclea salsola and A triplex canescens) were measured at a Mojave Desert site, at which both undisturbed and heavily dusted individual shrubs occurred.

Dust scraped from a car exhaust and ground to a particle size range of 1-10 μm was applied at measured rates to leaves Viburnum tinus. Its effects on photosynthesis and leaf diffusion resistance were measured over a range of light intensities.
