Retiro Baixo Hydroelectric Power Plant in Brazil
Retiro Baixo Hydroelectric Power Plant, between the cities of Curvelo and Pompéu. Since Vale's dam in Brumadinho collapsed, the turbines in Retiro Baixo were shut down. The toxic mud may reach the power plant's reservoir.
On January 25th, a tailing dam from an iron ore mine from Vale, a Brazilian mining company, collapsed, flooding with almost 13 million m³ of toxic mud the district of Córrego do Feijão, in the city of Brumadinho, in Minas Gerais state. Authorities search for survivors amongst the havoc.
This environmental crime takes place a little over three years after the dam collapse in the city of Mariana, also in Minas Gerais state, controlled by Vale and British-Australian BHP.

Crime Ambiental em Brumadinho, Minas Gerais
Usina Hidrelétrica de Retiro Baixo, entre as cidades de Curvelo e Pompéu. Desde que a barragem da Vale se rompeu em Brumadinho, as turbinas de Retiro Baixo foram desligadas. É possível que os rejeitos da lama tóxica cheguem até o reservatório da usina.
No dia 25 de janeiro, uma barragem de rejeitos minerais de ferro da empresa Vale rompeu, inundando com quase 13 milhões de m³ de lama tóxica o distrito de Córrego do Feijão, em Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Autoridades procuram por sobreviventes e vítimas em meio à destruição.
Este crime ambiental acontece pouco mais de três anos após a ruptura da barragem em Mariana, Minas Gerais, controlada pela Vale e pela anglo-australiana BHP.
