subject: The Relationship Between Mining And Environment [print this page] All industries must bear certain responsibilities for their activities. Mining is no exception. Our awareness of the importance of environmental protection continues to grow, together with knowledge and understanding of how our way of life impacts our surroundings.The continuing evolution of responsible environmental stewardship has brought with it fundamental changes in exploration and mining practices.Environmental Protection - It"s A Matter of PrincipleThe mining industry in BC has established environmental protection as a priority objective in the development, operation and closure of mines.In its ongoing efforts to update and improve environmental protection measures, the industry contributes to the advancement of the scientific understanding of mining"s effect on the environment, as well as to the development of technology that will help minimize environmental impacts.Establishing the GuidelinesThe benefits of minerals and mining in the world are indisputable. Metals are essential to life on earth - but they can also pose a threat to the environment if they occur in certain forms (chemical states) and under specific environmental conditions. Debate is focused on what is environmentally safe and in determining acceptable levels of risk versus benefit.Nowadays, many stakeholders are involved in providing input into how mines are developed - mineral producers, regulators, and the public. Risk management decisions are arrived at in a consultative manner, with an appropriate weighing of the benefits and risks.With the challenge of producing profitable mining operations in an environmentally sound manner, practices and regulations have evolved to ensure environmental protection.Mining in British Columbia is regulated at both the provincial and federal levels.Throughout the life cycle of a mine, regulatory and monitoring processes ensure the industry complies with society"s environmental objectives. These objectives are established primarily through laws and regulations, but they are also set out in commitments made by mining companies during the environmental assessment process.Environment AffairsIn 2007, BC mining and smelting operations remained committed to adhering to the highest environmental standards. We are pleased to report that no major spills or significant environmental issues were reported at any of the operations during 2007.Using science-based advocacy, the MABC played an active role in representing the industry in many areas of environmental affairs including project assessment, regulatory reform, permitting and abandoned mine reclamation. We met numerous times with senior provincial and federal government officials as well as with key ministers to advocate for our industrys interests. As the professional manufacturer of complete sets of mining machinery, such as Ore beneficiation,Cement mill,Vibrating screen, Henan Hongxing is always doing the best in products and service.classifiers:http://www.crusher-machine.com/27.html belt conveyor:http://www.hxjq-crusher.com/6.html
