Remediation
The major environmental remediation
carried out in the reporting year was
the cleanup of oil from the surface
water at the water intake area during
the spill incident in April 2015. This re-
mediation process involved a complete
cleanup of the spilled heavy fuel oil
that leaked into the water intake area.
Efforts were made to ensure that the oil
was contained and the marine ecosys-
