Collection of groundwater samples from the Paraopeba river basin for determination of metals, metalloids, thermotolerant microorganisms and Escherichia Coli

Subproject 10 - Collection of groundwater samples from the Paraopeba river basin for the determination of metals, metalloids, thermotolerant microorganisms and Escherichia Coli has as main objective to propose and execute a plan to collect groundwater samples from the Paraopeba river basin for determination of metals, metalloids, thermotolerant microorganisms and Escherichia Coli, according to the sampling plan presented by the Technical-Scientific Committee (CTC).

This objective is divided into:

• Carry out awareness-raising meetings with the community of Brumadinho and residents of other affected locations for dissemination and clarification on the collections that will be carried out;
• Collect groundwater samples for the parameters described above and carry out the analysis of physical-chemical parameters in the field, according to the sampling plan provided by the CTC;
• Hire a company to carry out microbiological analyzes and proceed with the delivery of samples and evaluation of the results provided by the company.

 

Methodological steps

1st Stage - Acquisition of permanent and consumable materials that will be used in collections, hiring auditors and drivers and car rental.

2nd Stage - Open awareness meetings with the population of the regions where the collections will be carried out.

3rd Stage - Training of material collection and preparation teams

4th Stage - Preparation of material for collection

5th Step - Sample collection and field analysis

6th Stage - Receipt and verification of samples

7th Stage - Microbiological analysis

8th Step - Preparation of reports
