Immediately after the completion of the spillway, there will be the implementation of external reinforcements to the dam, environmental recovery, and reintegration of the area into the local environment, continuing the decharacterization of the Doutor Dam operated by the mining company Vale.
Monitoring
Vale will constantly monitor the indicators of water usage, air quality, and noise levels to ensure the effectiveness of control actions during the execution of the works, and ongoing actions to strengthen the dam’s safety in Minas Gerais are also being carried out.
Additionally, measures will be taken by the mining company Vale to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus among workers and residents in the Minas Gerais region, according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and other authorities.
