Abstract
Modern management of mine waste storage facilities (MWSFs) often requires that they be decommissioned with a cover system. In addition to creating a self-sustaining landscape that supports the end land use, cover systems are intended to reduce long-term risks to human and ecological receptors from the underlying waste to acceptable levels. The performance and longevity of a cover system will be strongly influenced by the features and geometric configuration of the MWSF final landform. Cover systems and landforms must therefore be thought of as an integrated design. The elements of greatest importance in the design process for long-term sustainability of MWSF final landforms/cover systems based on the author’s experience are noted in this article. Several key items that must be considered and addressed during the planning phase of constructing a MWSF final landform are also described. Key aspects associated with rehabilitating a tailings impoundment and waste rock pile at the former Cluff Lake uranium mine in Saskatchewan are included to illustrate many of the practical insights detailed in this article.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
