| description |
Globally, an increasing number of mines
and hydrocarbon fields are nearing depletion, following
decades of resource exploitation. These operations and the
associated infrastructure will require complex and costly
dismantling; technical and environmental restoration and
rehabilitation measures; and socioeconomic investments to
counteract retrenchment, post-closure economic downturns and
other effects associated with the end of the project's
productive life. The intent of this Toolkit is to serve as a
resource to support the development of flexible but
systematic regulatory approaches to key components of a
sustainable decommissioning and closure planning and
implementation process. This Toolkit is organized around
what are believed to be core components of a practical
approach that governments may adopt or adapt in the process
of identifying and managing decommissioning and closure
needs. The Toolkit structure is organized as: introduction
and overview sets the stage on the purpose and objectives of
the Toolkit, intended audience or users, key components and
toolkit structure, guideline sources and definitions.
General Toolkit guidance document is designed to provide an
overview of sector specific trends and challenges related to
decommissioning and closure. This is based on experts'
opinions on which issues are higher priority and may warrant
additional attention on the part of governments. Tool policy
and regulatory framework aims to delineate the steps for an
enhanced policy and regulatory framework, and provide a
platform for the implementation of the remaining tools. Tool
two environmental and social best practice and management
systems describes how governments can contribute to the
implementation of socio-environmental best practices leading
to more sustainable decommissioning and closure, and
incorporates guidance on the development of a conceptual
closure plan. Tool three financial assurance mechanisms
provides a roadmap for establishing (or enhancing)
sufficient and reliable financial assurance for the
extractives sectors, and provides alternatives and templates
for further guidance. Tool four enforcements and monitoring
emphasize the importance for governments of monitoring
compliance with regulations and requirements during the
planning and implementation of decommissioning and closure
activities. Tool five stakeholder engagement and continuous
improvement encourages governments and related agencies to
use stakeholder engagement to better understand key
community priorities and to contribute as partners in
sustainable decommissioning and closure planning, while at
the same time fine-tuning government's role in this process. |
