Emergency actions for the mitigation of environmental impacts

• Conduct campaigns to monitor the quality of the estuary water, including the aquatic biota;
• Define emergency actions to minimize the consequences of the damage to the quality of the estuary water due to the release of firefighting water;
• Propose programs for the recovery of the surface water quality.

The project also identified the following issues for the local soil:

• Affected areas;
• Potential primary sources of soil and groundwater impact;
• Materials generated in the accident;
• Other potential sources of impact.

Having gathered all data, EBP Brasil (formerly Geoklock) proposed an environmental recovery plan, considering all short- and medium-term emergency actions required, such as:

• The containment of active sources of contamination;
• The detailed investigation of environmental impacts;
• The survey of underground plants;
• Other underground structures;
• Studies to monitor the physical medium and the biota on land and in the estuary.
