what would one put a work camp under for a mine?
is there a catigory for caped mine tailings piles
orphand abandoned mine sites?
acid water ponds mine waste water
sewage lagoons
mine bulk heads (refers to mine shafts that have been caped off with a cement lid)
mine vent shafts
I have no answer for that. The people used to walk from the villages to the mines. There were sleeping rooms for those who stayed the week at the mine and got only home at the weekend. Later there were residential areas like this one in Maybach.
These are mapped as Tag:man_made=spoil_heap - OpenStreetMap Wiki, example: Way: ‪Bergehalde Lydia‬ (‪292036421‬) | OpenStreetMap
You can use the lifecycle prefix abandoned (or disused) or you can map them as abandoned=yes (discouraged).
the same, example: Node: ‪Gouvysweiher-Schacht‬ (‪444586518‬) | OpenStreetMap
There are at least two tagging possibilities:
a) man_made=ventilation_shaft
b) mineshaft_type=air
Here these are typically mapped as natural=water, example: Way: ‪Absinkweiher Frommersbach‬ (‪101959568‬) | OpenStreetMap (but no acid water)
I would argue that water=reservoir strongly implies clear water. For mine tailings specifically, there is man_made=tailings_pond, while natural=water+water=wastewater may be used for other types of wastewater.
Other tagging here may be
water=basin
water=pond
But it is usually groundwater that accumulates in the (former) coal mines and is pumped out so that they are not flooded. I mentioned that it’s no acid water - and it’s usually no wastewater too. Not many types of other (former) mines here, some limestone mines.
Never heard of that and never seen it. But it should be more appropriate for those “Absinkweiher” than natural=water.
some mines u wind up with some real nasty acidic water with realy low ph full of nasty metals
also i asked because someone labled part of a tailings pond as a military thing
witch is very wrong.
old open pit that has ph 4.3 water and half full of tailings with a dead lake atached to it that was a tailings pond when the mine was running
these acid water lakes should be marked as such… reason is if u are fighting forest fire and u use that water u ruin ur pumps will eat them out do damage to water bomber tanks as it eats them out and u are dumping toxic waste on a fire
also mining now adays build work camps some can have 1000-3000 people on site
theres currently a temp one up in my community that contractors are getting lots allot trying to get to be nice to get it on the map for now
