There are more than 54 sites in Australia managing major ARD wastes (either >10% of the waste or >10M tonnes) with another 62 sites with less ARD. At operating sites, the annual costs are $60M p.a.; over 15 years, a total cost of $900M for the whole industry. The value of the project outcomes to industry (and government) in reduction of acid and toxic metal release and reduced cost of treatments is potentially in the tens of $M p.a.. Improvements in environmental and social quality of life in mining areas and towns will also result from improved treatment.

澳大利亚有超过54个地点管理主要的ARD废物(占废物的10%或1000万吨)，另有62个地点的ARD较少。在运营地点，每年的成本为6000万美元；15年来，整个行业的总成本为9亿美元。在减少酸和有毒金属的释放以及降低处理成本方面，该项目成果对工业(和政府)的价值可能在每年数千万美元。改善待遇还将改善矿区和城镇的环境和社会生活质量。
