-Construction methods and materials are familiar to SMCV (or its

contractors). 3
-Concepts have been successfully implemented by SMCV (or its
contractors) previously.

-The impact that each alternative will have on the existing

2
infrastructure such as the containment wall, liner, abutments, others.

-Availability of construction materials. 2

-Possibility of slope failure, risk of loss of water retention if a failure

were to occur, that could potentially impact the WWTP. 4
-Long-term reliability of design.
-Complex, difficult, or laborious construction procedures could result
in delays, non-compliant quailty standard, equipment/material 3
damages, or additional safety hazards.

-Flexibility to increase capacity (by raising the crest) to meet the

5
requirements for the mine closure conditions.
