About the Workshop
The workshop is an extension to the presentation by the USSD and CDA in December 2020 that provided an overview of the EOR and will be followed by another workshop on governance to be held as part of Tailings and Mine Waste on November 6, 2021.
The workshop will describe different dam safety governance models with examples from different companies and show how the EOR fits within the different models. Benefits and challenges with the different models will be identified and there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions to the speakers and to a panel.
Attendees will gain an understanding of how the EOR can fit into different dam safety governance models, and what other key roles are required for the entire system to function. Attendees will also gain an understanding of pros and cons of different models and what to look out for to make an EOR assignment successful for the Owner, EOR, Regulators and ultimately the Community.
