stalwart, I wasn't aware that the water had been tested and approved to be pumped into the environment. That said, I agree it is cheap to set up a diesel/gas pump on a small barge and pump the pit out. It would take a few months to get rid of that much water.
Not sure if you are aware of what the Canadian laws say concerning introducing water from a mine site into the environment are but, I'll give you an example; If rain runs off a rock that is located on the fringe of the miing boundry and spills over the boundry line, you are charged by the MOE as having a spill. That is why there are deep ditches and expensive drainage systems leading to a water treatment plants around the mine sites in Canada. These multi million dollar water treatment plants that Canadian miners must have in place produce better quality water than the city water you drink.
However, the Canadian laws are not the brazilian laws which in my opinion is a good thing because in Canada, it is getting to the point where it is becoming far to costly to open a new mining project unless it is a huge and rich deposit that is able to repay the huge costs associated with environmental compliance and provincial safety laws. But, we as miners placed ourselves in that position by being poor stewarts and polluting lakes and wetland areas in past decades thus, the strick environmental laws of today.
Just thought you might be interested in getting a miner's insight into Canadian environmental laws.
