Also being studied is the implementation of a Water Treatment Station (ETA) to reduce the turbidity of the water in the Ferro-Carvão stream. In addition, Vale will install more hydraulic barriers and small dams, to assist in the retention process. Vale is employing a construction method that prevents vibrations in the soil and structures adjacent to the site. The bridge will allow dual-vehicle traffic and includes a pedestrian sidewalk. This initiative is taking place in parallel to the construction of a 50-meter metal bridge to restore access to the communities of Parque da Cachoeira and Córrego do Feijão to the central area of Brumadinho. The company has also begun the removal of tailings that were responsible for blocking a stretch of the Alberto Flores Avenue and the installation of a metal barrier to prevent the tailings from covering the road again. In parallel, the transport and storage of rocks that will be used in the construction of the structure is in progress.
In Section 1 of the plan, in the affected 10-km stretch that extends from Dam 1 to the Paraopeba River, running along the Ferro-Carvão Stream, the company is cleaning the area where there will be a dike (consisting of blocks of compacted rock) for the retention of the thicker and heavier tailings. The initiatives are part of a plan that was presented to the Public Prosecutor's Office and to environmental agencies at the end of January.
Vale is moving forwards with emergency projects to implement measures to contain the tailings coming from Dam I of the Córrego do Feijão Mine as was communicated to the Secretary of State for the Environment and Sustainable Development (SEMAD) on February 8.
