20. DISPOSAL SITES  FENI INDUSTRY The waste (slag) is transported in liquid state, after tapping from the Electric arc furnace, by using specialized vehicles for that purpose only, at disposal site which is about 1.5 km from the Electric arc furnace and very close to Crna River. The disposal site is at the same altitude as the Industry.  MAKSTIL The slag is cooled after tapping in the Smeltery, and after it is being cooled is transported in specialized vehicles, at disposal site which is 300 meters from the Electric arc furnace. The dust from the process, which contains some hazardous elements, is transported to the same disposal site as the slag.  SILMAK There is no creation of slag during the process of Ferrosilicon production in Silmak.

21. BUČIM mine  BUČIM mine Liquid waste tailings are piped to a hydro cyclone on the top of the latest tailings dam. This is employed to separate the larger particles (which are used to extend the steep down-slope side of the dam), from the finer material which flows into the upstream tailings lagoon. The surface liquid flows through a collector for discharge in the river below the tailings dam. SASA mine  SASA mine The quantity of material in the Sasa mine tailings dam is estimated at 13 million tonnes, in total. The material has been deposited in three stages, these being the Tailings I area nearest to the processing buildings from 1968-1971; the Tailings II area from 1971-1990; and the Tailings III area lowest down the valley, from 1990 onwards. Like in the case of Bučim, the liquid waste tailings are piped to a hydro cyclone on the top of the tailings dam. TORANICA mine  TORANICA mine The material has been deposited in one stage. Liquid waste tailings are piped some 2 km by gravity to a hydro cyclone on the top of the tailings dam. The surface liquid flows through a collector which also collects drainage from along the sides of the tailings and from the “carpet” under the tailings. A separate pipe collects drainage from a spring buried under the northern end of the tailings.

22.  ZLETOVO mine The material is deposited in four stages. The newer tailings dam and lagoon were constructed after an incident in 1975 when the previous dam collapsed. Small clay and rock dams have since been constructed along the river valley below the new tailings area as a precaution, to assist in reducing downstream pollution if such an incident recurs. The latest regular checks by the mine staff indicated that the new tailings dam remains satisfactorily stable. TPP BITOLA  TPP BITOLA As part of the system of external transport, two concrete storage structures are constructed for collection of ashes and slag, so that there is a joint storage structure for blocks 1 and 2, and separate one for block 3. They are developed as a single structure, internally divided into two parts, one of which is for ashes and the other for slag. The transportation of ashes and slag is carried out by means of a system of dozers, lines, and disposal and deposition sites. There are three systems for external transportation of ashes and slag in TPP Bitola. Ashes and slag from the three blocks are transported through common lines, after which three separate transportation systems composed of the lines and disposal machines continue. The waste is disposed at disposal site which is 3 - 4 km from the TPP, at the same altitude as the TPP.

23. TPP OSLOMEJ  TPP OSLOMEJ The fly ash and the slag travel by conveyor belt to a dump, positioned at approximately 100-150 meters higher than the TPP, that is at 850 meters altitude, which is close to the TPP (at about 500 meters from TPP Oslomej).
