Since 2015, SRK has led efforts to mitigate 118 years of mining impact at the Miami Unit, focusing on sustainable closure practices. The site includes a pit lake, subsidence zone, underground workings, tailings facilities, and a leach dump. SRK conducted field investigations, adding 25 borings for water and geotechnical analysis. A flexible data management system by SRK data services manages over 1 million water levels and 130,000 water chemistry readings. SRK developed SRK-PHYDRUS for unsaturated flow analysis and advanced 3D groundwater modeling. The next phase aims to guide closure investments, aligning with ESG goals and reducing long-term liabilities.
