Therefore, and in strict compliance with current Brazilian legal rules, Vallourec Brazil changed the criticality to Level 1. <br><br>The Santa B\u00e1rbara dam is a rainwater (sediment) control structure and no type of waste from the production process is deposited there. <br><br>Vallourec states that the Santa B\u00e1rbara dam has no damage at its physical structure, and it does not present any risks to the population and that Vallourec carries out daily inspections in accordance with the legislation. In this sense, it is worth mentioning that, according to the ANM protocol for Level 1 criticality, it is not necessary to remove the population downstream from the structure. Actions are ongoing in order to return the structure to Level 0 as soon as possible. The company points out that the activation of Level 1 does not compromise the normality of its operations. <br><br>Vallourec Minera\u00e7\u00e3o also informs that, since November 2015, all waste from its mining production process is filtered using an equipment called Dry Stacking, where the water is removed out the waste and the waste, after being filtered, is disposed dry in waste piles, using the technique called dry stacking and co-disposition. Thus, the need for tailing dam at Vallourec Brazil Mining Unit was eliminated more than five years ago.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6768c21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6768c21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-187e959 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"187e959\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a2973c elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"4a2973c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-left\">\n      <a class=\"no-underline\" href=\"\/home\/newsroom\/\" target=\"_self\">\n      <button class=\"btn btn-primary my-1\">\n        <span class=\"pr-3 fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/span>        See all news\r\n            <span class=\"more\"><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1df0520 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1df0520\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vallourec Tubos do Brasil &#8211; Mining Unit changed the criticality level of the structure called Santa B\u00e1rbara dam, located in the Pau Branco Mine, from Level 0 to Level 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":965,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-964","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-governance-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Statement -
