The time it takes to reclaim a frac sand fine tailings pond will depend on the size of the pond, the amount of material that needs to be handled, and the particular reclamation process used. In some cases, it can take anywhere from several months to several years for a complete reclamation process.

Hi Peter, thank you for your answer. Typically what kind of solid liquid separation method would the miners use before deposition. I assume that will shorten the consolidation time hence the reclamation process.
