Working to prevent leakages
Soil contamination mapping or remediation was ongoing at several sites according to plans. Soil surveys were made in Avesta, Fagersta, Molkom and Nyby. Since 2002 open soil contamination issues in Degerfors were positively completed without further action demands. In Meadowhall and Stocksbridge decommissioning of plant continues. The closure of the old landfill areas continued in Tornio and Nyby according to plans. Also the capping of Tinsley Park Landfill, Sheffield, continued. Remediation activity in connection with contaminated groundwater continues at the Outokumpu site in Wildwood, the US. Remediation work also continued with an old oil leakage at Outokumpu's Montreal facility in Canada. During 2009, the system has operated normally. The oil levels are stable to declining.
