Of this amount, a fine of CDN $100 will be paid to the Receiver General for Canada, with the balance directed to the Government of Canada&#8217;s Environmental Damages\u00a0Fund.<br><br>The underlying charges related to discharges of suspended matter, and in certain cases with the presence of nickel and zinc \u2014 but no harmful chemical materials \u2014 from ArcelorMittal&#8217;s mining operations. Notably, 96% of the infractions to which ArcelorMittal pleaded guilty occurred in 2018 or earlier. Since that time, ArcelorMittal has invested more than CDN $400 million in comprehensive, long-term water control and treatment infrastructure to address operational and environmental water challenges both on site and in the surrounding areas. With these projects now complete, ArcelorMittal remains focused on further strengthening its environmental stewardship and sustainable development practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe settlement reached and announced today will mark the end of this chapter\u201d, said <span class=\"nowrap-nom\">Mapi\u00a0Mobwano<\/span>, President and Chief Executive Officer of ArcelorMittal Mining Canada. \u201cWe are committed to improving the environmental performance of our operations. The majority of the issues associated with this claim occurred 8 years ago or more and since then we have invested CDN $400 million to improve water issues on site. This includes, among other projects, the CDN $162 million invested in <span class=\"nowrap-nom\">Mont-Wright<\/span> for the construction of the Nipi water treatment facility, along with a runoff water capture ditch network. I am confident that the steps we have taken will avoid such situations in the future. The&nbsp;communities around our operations are extremely important to us and we will continue to ensure that we are taking the right decisions to protect the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About ArcelorMittal Mining Canada\u00a0G.P.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ArcelorMittal Mining Canada G.P. operates mining facilities in the province of Quebec, including the <span class=\"nowrap-nom\">Mont-Wright<\/span> and <span class=\"nowrap-nom\">Fire\u00a0Lake<\/span> mines.
