Disclosure on Tailings Storage Facilities
31 October 2019 - EVRAZ plc ("EVRAZ" or "the Group"; LSE: EVR)
has today published on its website the details of its tailings
storage facilities (TSFs), as requested by the Church of England
Pensions Board and the Swedish Council on Ethics for the AP Funds,
representing a large number of institutional investors.
As of today, EVRAZ operates three TSFs with upstream dams owned
by EVRAZ ZSMK (since 2003) and EVRAZ KGOK (since 2004). EVRAZ has a
dam safety management system in accordance with the current
legislative procedures that cover all stages of life cycle: design,
construction, operation and asset retirement. All dams have safety
zones where no living houses and civilian infrastructure is
allowed. The processes and procedures are controlled by operations
and audited by the HSE personal of the sites, the regulator's
inspectors and the EVRAZ's internal industrial safety auditors, and
the measures to improve the effectiveness of controls have always
been implemented. Currently, an audit of TSFs operation is being
conducted by EVRAZ's internal industrial safety auditors at all
active TSFs.
EVRAZ has an Environmental Management System (EMS) in place,
which ensures that environmental risks are mitigated and that all
regulatory requirements are met. The EMS also incorporates
environmental and social impact assessments, environmental due
diligence, and the management of environmental projects.
Alexander Frolov, CEO of EVRAZ, said: "The principles of
minimising negative impacts on the environment and the efficient
use of resources are integrated into EVRAZ' daily operations.
EVRAZ' strategy for dealing with non-hazardous mining wastes, such
as depleted rock, tailings and overburden, is to use them where
possible for land rehabilitation and the construction of dams or
roads. All non-recyclable waste is stored in facilities that were
designed to prevent any harmful substances contained in the waste
from escaping into the environment. Safety at such facilities is
monitored extremely closely, and all necessary steps have been
taken to mitigate any danger as far as possible."
