“…Previous noncoal applications include open pits (Ramalho, Carvalho, Barbosa, & Monteiro Santos, 2009), tailings impoundments and dams (Buselli & Lu, 2001;Grangeia, Ávila, Matias, & Ferreira de Silva, 2011;Martín-Crespo, Martín-Velázquez, Gómez-Ortiz, Ignacio-San José, & Lillo-Ramos, 2010), and a capped waste rock repository (Wangerud, Versteeg, Heath, Markiewicz, & Richardson, 2006). ERI has also imaged polymetallic mine spoil structure (Anterrieu, Chouteau, & Aubertin, 2010) and Karst conduits (Sawyer, Zhu, Currens, Atcher, & Binley, 2015). Nevertheless, no previous study has been done on a valley fill of any sort, and none have visualized preferential stormwater flow.…”
