Smelter stockpiles 100,000 tonnes of hazardous waste near beach

The aluminium smelter at Bluff has stockpiled more than 100,000 tonnes of cyanide-laced hazardous waste less than 100 metres from a fast-eroding Southland beach. The smelter company will not reveal its plans for the hazardous waste, despite international industry guidelines it has signed up to that say it should. The government said earlier this month it remained completely blind about what contamination the closure of the smelter at Tiwai Point might leave behind. Spent cell liner waste contains hazardous chemical compounds including fluoride and cyanide, and produces explosive gases when mixed with water. It is sometimes called SCL, Spent Pot Lining, or SPL.
