... This method is most suitable for homogeneous residues of fine gradation, where the thickening process prevents segregation of the coarse and fine particles during transportation. Thickened high-density residue stacking was developed more than 20 years ago to handle red mud tailings generated by alumina plants.

... Previously, he developed safety and training programs while working for several companies within the coal mining industry, including Eastem Associated Coal Corporation (19771982) , Pennsylvania Mines Corporation (1982-1985)
From page 195...
... House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. He has authored more than 40 technical publications related to coalfield hydrology, and has served on numerous state and federal task forces and committees, including the Kentucky Ground Water Monitoring Committee, and an OSM task force charged with preparing a technical guidance document to aid in the prevention of hydraulic blow-outs from underground coal mines.
