The construction commissioning and first year of operation of a large scale instrumented leach column are described. The column material was sulphidic mine overburden. Monitored parameters included matrix potential temperature redox potential dissolved oxygen pore space gas water addition and drainage together with pH, Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Zn, Cl, F, SO42 and PO43 in the effluent.
