This set of services reinforces Clam's commitment to effective water resources management, applying technology and expertise to ensure the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.
Various Projects and Studies
Effective and consistent management of water resources is vital in the planning and operation of any enterprise, requiring a holistic approach that integrates technical, operational, legal, and environmental aspects, as well as the priority needs in regions affected by the enterprise. Clam is recognized for its competence in a series of essential services in this domain, including: Assessment of Surface and Groundwater Availability; Preparation of Water Use Plan (WUP); Preparation of Water Balance of Operational Units; Conceptual Hydrogeological Models for Pre-Feasibility Reports; Preparation of Water Resources and Effluents Management Program; Studies for Requesting Surface and Groundwater Allocation; Study of Locational Alternatives for Water Intake; Preparation of Dam and Project Water Balance; Studies for Determination of Mixing Zone for Effluent Discharge into Surface Water Bodies; Design and Monitoring of Groundwater Level Lowering; and Inventory, Mapping, and Monitoring of Springs.
Investigation of Contaminated Areas and Acid Drainage Studies
The Investigation of Contaminated Areas follows a rigorous process outlined by ABNT Standard - NBR 15,515, parts 1, 2, and 3, which covers everything from preliminary assessment, confirmatory investigation, and detailed investigation. This protocol is complemented by other state and federal regulations, which define parameters for soil and groundwater. Clam is responsible for planning and executing all these steps, incorporating ecotoxicological studies and assessments of human health risks, essential for a comprehensive understanding of environmental impact. In specific contexts of mining operations with sulfide presence, drainage generation and metal remobilization are additional concerns. In these cases, laboratory tests (static and kinetic), risk assessments, and proposals for preventive and corrective measures are carried out, ensuring comprehensive and effective environmental management.
