THE State Government has renewed Alcoa’s operating licence
at its Kwinana alumina refinery after the company spent $95 million on
maintenance and improvements last year.
The Government’s new licence conditions include further monitoring of dust emissions and measures to minimise the risk of chemical spills.
Last year Alcoa completely replaced two 7.5-kilometre residue pipelines and spent $30 million installing process control technology to help safeguard against overflows.
It plans to spend $38 million on a new water storage area this year.
