The factory for production of Si-metal shall have direct and indirect environmental impacts, especially on waters, by washing off working areas, leachate and other waste water that must be treated due to contamination, so that their quality would be at least the quality of surface recipient into which they are discharged.
Before the construction, i.e. commissioning of subject factory, it is necessary to determine the zero condition of waters quality around the factory in order to have a realistic picture of its impact on the water quality during its operation.
