Abstract
Damage caused by accidents at hydraulic structures, due to natural hazards or human causes (e.g. terrorist sabotage) can be comparable to those caused by natural disasters. The paper identifies the major advantages of a common methodology for risk identification and quantification regarding the potential impact of accidents at tailings dams on the environment. Relevant Romanian and EU legislation and regulations enacted following the “Baia Mare” accident in 2000 are reviewed, along with a common risk evaluation methodology that can be applied by the mining sector to tailings dams.
