ASSESS
The first step in the environmental impact management process is to characterize industrial and mining by-products, and assess their behavior in relation to their environment.
CONTROL
Proper management of industrial and mining by-products may prevent or control the geochemical processes that may negatively affect the receiving environment.
TREAT
When chemicals of potential concern are carried away by water, it is still time to treat the water to prevent them from reaching the environment.
PRESERVE
The different measures implemented for the management of geochemical risks converge towards the same goal : the preservation of human and ecosystems health.
