DRAFT agenda (10/18/18)

Beyond Closure – Repurposing Mined Lands
November 7, 2018, Fossil Trace Room, 8am – 5pm

Meeting organized by: Colorado School of Mines, Keystone Policy Center, Clear Creek Watershed Foundation, Mining and Metallurgical Society of America, U.S. Geological Survey, SRK Consulting

Meeting objectives: The CSM 2018 Mining Summit will be a forum aimed at moving the focus upon successful mine closure, as the endpoint of mining, to the ultimate beneficial re-purposing of mined lands.

Participants with diverse backgrounds will discuss:
• current examples of mining operations clearly giving rise to a specific,
planned, subsequent beneficial purpose
• situations where the mining infrastructure, post mining contours, hydrology,
etc., may become integral to the attainment of the final land use
• drivers for site redevelopment
• implementation aspects and challenges
• technical, regulatory, and operational considerations
