Environmental Benefits:
The environmental potential of this project is substantial. Besides for use of solid and liquid municipal waste, thus freeing up valuable landfill space, water presently used to control dust could be used to expand the local industrial base. In addition to eliminating use of freshwater for dust control, they also recover about 60% of the effluent for use as process water after it leaches through the tailings. The mere presence of vegetation has virtually eliminated the dust.
