Conclusion
Hydraulic-fill dumps must be designed with minimum appropriation of land areas with the construction of large borrow pits in the base. To prevent seepage of water into groundwaters, it is necessary to construct a watertight facing in the base of the dump and particularly in the pit by one of the following methods: striplike placement of soil on ice; delivery of the mixture into the pit with excavation of the soil in piles by a monitor; excavation of the pit by a dredge and hydraulic filling of narrow-profile embankments.
