ZOE RAMDIN is an academic who published a paper in 2001 entitled Post closure mine dewatering and treatment of contaminated waters at the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley,. ZOE RAMDIN published this work as part of a team: Tarasoff, Dan.

Presently, the generation of ARD can not be prevented, only mitigated. The main sources of ARD include drainage from the underground mine workings, run off and seepage from mining and milling wastes and discharges from the operating tailing ponds. The generation of ARD is expected to continue for an indefinite period after closure. While several projects have been undertaken to minimize the generation of ARD in the last 20 years of mine and concentrator operation, a plan to deal with the on-going generation of these contaminated waters after closure was required.
