Environmental monitoring will cover many aspects from water to air etc. Post closure the quantity and diversity of environmental monitoring will be less than it was during operations. The mine must monitor all relevant parameters and demonstrate that there is no on-going negative impact.
The frequency required for monitoring will be site specific and will depend on sensitivities specific to each site. However, the frequency will typically be less than it was during operations as the system is less dynamic.
Flora and fauna monitoring to demonstrate that biodiversity and species numbers are in line with the numbers reported in closure plan is an important aspect of post closure environmental monitoring.
