Evaluation of Mill Tailings Disposal Practices and Potential Dam Stability Problems in Southwestern United States. Investigation Report. Kennecott Copper Corporation Magna Tailings Dam Magna, Utah
The report presents the results of studies of Kennecott Copper Corporation's tailings embankment at Magna, Utah. The stability studies described were performed on only one cross section of the embankment, utilizing data obtained from drilling, sampling, and testing, which was limited in nature. The main objective of the data collection was to provide background information to support the overall research effort. Because of the limited scope, it is not possible to evaluate the degree of safety or adequacy of the embankment or disposal system, and the information and data contained in the body of the report must be judged in that light. The first part of the report contains discussion of site geology and seismicity, pertinent information on the refuse disposal system, a discussion of the tailings materials characteristics, a summary of the engineering analyses, and a bibliography. The second part (appendices) contains basic geologic and engineering data supporting the discussions in the first part of the report.
