Question

how does the solid waste disposal act apply to mining? this law does not apply to mining. miners can legally use old mines as landfills but only for the solid waste coming from their homes. mining waste is considered to be solid waste and must be dealt with accordingly.

Explanation:

The Solid Waste Disposal Act aims to manage solid waste. Mining waste is a form of solid waste. So, it must be managed as per the act's regulations. The first option is incorrect as the act does apply. The second option is wrong because the act is about solid waste management in general (not just home - related waste in old mines for miners).

Answer:

Mining waste is considered to be solid waste and must be dealt with accordingly.
