The influence of vegetation on leachate generation from solid waste piles produced by mining projects : the Rundle example

TL;DRAbstract

Prior to embarking on a course of study leading to the Master of Environmental Studies degree I was employed by Esso Australia Ltd. (Esso) as an Environmental Engineer assigned to the Rundle project. One of the tasks that I undertook in this role was the establishment of the Rundle waste dump leachate program. I was involved in the project definition, construction and installation of the field research station, and with the ongoing modelling by the University of Queensland. As a result of my work with them Esso very kindly offered to make available, for the purposes of this thesis, information collected by the waste dump leachate program. Planning for this thesis commenced in July 1986. One objective was to fulfill the need of the Rundle waste dump leachate program for an investigation into the influence of vegetation on water movement and leachate generation. This had been identified as an area in need of work for some time prior to the start of this project. I have had an ongoing con
