Dam Burst Brazil one Year After
Samarco is building in the Bento Rodrigues district - the one affected most by the "mud tsunami" that hit it, killing 19 people - the S4 dam. The mining company responsible for the tragedy alleges that it will restrain the flow of contaminated mud that is still in the Santarem creek and Bento Rodrigues areas to the Gualaxo do Norte river and, hence, the Doce, but a research made by the Enviromental secretary of the Minas Gerais governement says it will not work, public ministry says that samarco is taking advantage of the tragedy to carry out a plan to transform Bento Rodrigues into an area of tailings disposal. On Nov. 5th 2015, aprox. 40 billion liters of mining tailings contaminated mud broke from Samarco's (owned by Vale and BHP Blliton) Fundao dam, in the biggest enviromental disaster of Brazil's history.
