Introduction
Other Infrastructure & Building
The Escondida mine is located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, at an altitude of 3 200
meters above sea level (masl).
The mine site is located approximately 180 kilometers by road southeast of the port of Antofagasta
an it is accessible from Antofagasta via a branch of the Pan American Highway and MELs access
road.
The Execution Phase includes a new concentrator referred to as the Organic Growth Project 1
(OGP1) to replace the existing Los Colorados (LC) concentrator, located at the Escondida site.
The new OGP1 copper concentrator will be constructed south and adjacent to the existing Laguna
Seca concentrator; it will have a nominal capacity of 152 000 tons per day and all of the supporting
facilities will be designed for this out put.
It is worthy to mention that this technical report has been developed in accordance with the
standards, sustainable development concepts and proper resource management, that are set forth
in the Expansion of extraction capacity and processing of sulfurous ore of Minera Escondida
Environmental Impact Study (E.I.A. as per Spanish acronym). This was published in Chiles Official
Newspaper and the daily newspaper La Nacin on October 17, 2008 and it was approved by the
Environmental Qualification Resolution N 0398 (R.C.A. as per Spanish acronym) on November
17, 2009. The OGP1 Project is part of the E.I.A. mentioned above.
This design criteria establishes the environmental requirements for Execution Phase of the OGP1.

EFFLUENT AND EMISSION CONTROL CRITERIA
These criteria will guide the engineer and designer to become familiar with the Chilean laws, decrees
and standards in order to design and construct the project facilities, complying with environmental
commitments and standards in force in the Republic of Chile.
Design values used in the project are defined as they are in the process criterion. Thus the
following is obtained:
a) Nominal capacity: This is the plant name plate throughput value; in this case the nominal
plant capacity is 152 000 tonnes per day represents the yearly average throughput
considering the respective availability and utilization. This value has been defined by M.E.L.
b) Design Value: The criteria values are the instantaneous process criterion values that take
account of flows that operate for less than 24 hours during one operating day, or where it is
intended that the particular equipment will have an additional capacity to allow for
maintenance, catch-up capability or for variability in process parameters. The Design
values are intended as attainable continuous rates and do not include any additional design
allowance(s), by engineer or vendor, to ensure attainment. The combinations of Design
values neither relate to the annual productions defined nor integrate to represent a
metallurgical balance. The Design values are individual rates used for sizing equipment.

health of workers, localized control systems must be implemented to prevent
their spread, see in Table 5.1 (SD N 594/1999).

premises per hour, as a minimum, reaching up to 60 renewals per hour
according to the existing environmental conditions, or as per the magnitude
of the contaminant concentration. The most restrictive situation shall be
considered (SD 594/1999).
3.1.25 If in a work environment there are two or more substances listed in Table
5.1 and act on the human body in a similar way, their combined effect is
evaluated by adding the fractions of each environmental concentration

Both the excess of allowable limits weighted not be repeated more than four times in the
workday, or more than once in an hour.
(6)
Where the work environment there are two or more substances previously indicated, and
act on the human body the same way, their combined effect is evaluated by summing the
fractions of each environmental concentration divided by its respective weighted permissible

substances was independent of the other or when they act on different organs should be
assessed independently from its weighted permissible limit.

1. Zone I: Is the real estate that, according to real estate planning to regulations,
corresponds to housing and local equipment.
2. Zone II: Is the real estate that, according to real estate planning to regulations,
corresponds to those assigned to Zone I plus equipment at community and/or regional

Depending on the building specific type, they are classified into 3 groups.
Group I. Sheds and metallic light industrial buildings, reinforced concrete or reinforced
masonry.
Group II. Houses, offices, malls and recreational centers built according to the
approved specifications. Structures of a high historic, architectural and archaeological
importance not having sensitivity to vibrations. Any residential building may be classed
in this group.
Group III. Any building and structure (including their content) with high historic,
architectural and archaeological importance and that are being particularly sensitive to
vibrations.

Ozone
These substances correspond to the group that deplete the ozone layer and are included in Annex
A, B, C and E of the Protocol signed in Montreal.
The controlled substances can be pure or in a mixture; the mixture also include the isomer of any
of the substances with the exception of the 1, 2- trichloroethane, and 1 isomer. Excluded are all
those controlled substances in mixtures that are included in manufactured goods; the exception is
if the container contains any of these substances or mixtures.
Recovered controlled substances are those that have gone through a preliminary purification
process.
Regenerated controlled substances are those that have been treated in such a way, such as
filtering, drying, distillation, chemical treatment, that makes them comply with a certain quality
specification/norms.
The Ozone Layer Depleting Potential is the factor established in the Montreal Protocol and
addendums that standardize all the controlled substances as a function of this factor.
Controlled substance corresponds to those shown in Tables 5.12 to 5.20. The Tables 5.12 and
Table 5.13 compose the Annex A, Tables 5.14 to 5.16 compose the Annex B, Tables 5.17 to 5.19
