MINES - Linear Waste Features
This national dataset from Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency identifies linear waste features found at historic mine sites, primarily consisting of mine drainage—the movement or channeling of water across a site. It forms part of the EPA's broader mapping of legacy mining impacts and supports assessment of environmental risks associated with disused mine workings, including water pollution pathways linked to abandoned mining infrastructure across Ireland.The dataset contains linear waste features identified at historic mine sites. This consists mainly of the drainage of water on a site, termed mine drainage.
