Executive summary: This document reports on the risks identified during field operations carried out in the first year of the PACIFIC project, from June 2018 to June 2019. During this period, two surveys were carried out, one at Stillwater Canada Inc. (SCI)’ s Marathon PGU-Cu Project (“Marathon”), and another one at the Las Cruces site in Spain, an operating mine run by Cobre Las Cruces. The document builds on D5.2 – Environmental and Safety Risk Database adopted in 2018.
The procedures outlined in these documents were implemented during the surveys. No injuries were reported in either survey and impact on the local environment was found to be minimal.
