  • The risks of the deposit and site are assessed
  • There are resources and responsible during operation and closure
  • Results can be reviewed independently

  2. 2

    Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.

    Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.

Potential benefits
