Introduction

The purpose of the project is to plan and implement the sampling of Mintec’s tailings pond to determine the fiber content of the material. The samples are sent to Finnis Institute of Occupational Health for analysis. In addition, the data from the previous sampling (year 2009) will be analyzed. The project will also repair leaks and blockages at the connection point found during the diving work in the pond.
