description abstractDisposal of pyritic mine tailings under shallow water covers is an effective and commonly used method for reducing tailings oxidation, thus minimizing the formation of acid rock drainage. However, wind-wave-induced resuspension of tailings under the water cover could compromise suspended solids discharge criteria and increase the overall sulfide oxidation, since dissolved oxygen concentrations are higher in the water cover than in the pore water. This article reports field measurements of suspended tailings collected approximately 2–10 cm above the tailings surface by means of 16 sediment traps partly buried in the tailings bed. The traps were distributed over an area of about
