20% reduction in emissions in the Northern District
Expected impacts
- Achieve compliance with the PDA Calama (17% reduction of MP10 emissions) and additional efforts towards a further 3% emission reduction over that established figure in the Plan, using modern technologies and innovative alternatives for emission control.
Increase the reduction of MP10 emissions due to extraction truck traffic at crushers, screens, transfers points and stockpiles.
Achieve 100% coverage of conveyor belts.
Achieve emission control at other sources such as loading points, blasting sites and dumps.
Implement an operational plan for blasting.
Proposed solutions
- Seek out opportunities to reduce MP10 emissions in mine plans.
- Incorporate innovation and innovative technologies in MP10 abatement techniques.
- Standardize operational practices for control of MP10 emissions through the strengthening of monitoring, forecasting, and warning system.
