ANOTHER TWO BRAZIL DAMS ‘AT RISK OF
COLLAPSING’
Brazilian mining company Samarco says two dams it
uses to hold waste from iron production are
damaged and at risk of collapsing
One of the company’s reservoir burst earlier this
month, flooding dozens of homes in the southeastern
state of Minas Gerais. Eleven people were killed and 12
are missing presumed dead. Emergency work to try to
avoid another breach will begin immediately and will last
up to 90 days, the company said. The company initially
said that two of its dams – Fundao e Germano – had
burst on 5 November. But it has now clarified that only
the Fundao reservoir collapsed. Germano and another
nearby dam, Santarem, are still standing but are at risk,
said Samarco’s Infrastructure Director Kleber Terra.
‘First instalment’ Samarco is owned by mining giants Vale, from
Brazil, and Anglo-Australian company BHP Billiton. It
agreed on Monday to pay the Brazilian government 1bn
reais (…) compensation. The money will be used to cover
the initial clean-up and to offer some compensation to the
victims and their families. Disponível em: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-3485
