5. Removal of phenols and other hazardous materials stored at the chemical separation facility (circa 15 000 m3) (added on advice from the World Bank after the submission of the prefeasibility study). The expected key results of this project component can be summarized as follows: 1. removal of ash as ongoing pollution source of air, surface water, adjacent land and groundwater 2. mitigation of geotechnical instabilities of the associated overburden dump 3. additional information gained on co-deposited phenol and other contaminants 4. access to ground and groundwater contaminations below ash dump 5. availability of land for commercial / industrial purposes (this would be possible with some residual contamination levels) 6. freeing the D-Field for future Lignite mining development The preliminary implementation schedule suggests the project can be finished in 5 - 7 years time from commencement.
