Re:Norway to allow mining waste to be dumped in fjords by dragonwriter on Saturday January 13, 2024 @02:08PM (#38983390)
Rocks and dirt are aggregates of chemicals, and different kinds of rocks and dirt are made up of different chemicals.

Mining waste includes the chemicals from the ground, and chemicals used in the mining process (and chemicals produced in the interaction between the two.) Obviously, with significantly less of whatever was being mined, since the whole goal is to extract that from the first by use of the second.
