The medium is very severe and therefore there is a high probability of land-discharges, as you mentioned Naiz.eus. It can therefore become a dangerous place for indigenous people living in it.

The Government estimates that the benefits will be reduced by $1.2 billion and that the cost of demolition of the facility will be $500 million.
