Inco is trying to build a high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) plant at Goro village in New Caledonia. The plant plans to dump heavy metal containing waste into the lagoon for 28 years. The proposed effluent contains manganese and other contaminants above legal limits.
::Manganese is not a "heavy" metal, however the local authorities have requested the mine build a polishing plant to reduce the Mg levels to below that of total solid and dissolved content.
The project will also dump solid heavy metal waste in a pit situated on a seismic fault above the water table of Goro village.
::Goro village is nowhere near the location of the solid waste tailings dam.  Their may be a "fault" but the water table at Goro Village is not associated with it.
On the 21st of November 2006 a Paris court ordered that Inco should stop destroying a forest at Kwé west where the waste tip is being dug. Inco is continuing to clear the land regardless.
::Since France allowed New Calendonia to pursue internal affairs (except security) independant of "Paris", this is irrelevant and not notable.
In June 2006 the indigenous group Rheebu Nuu took Inco to court. The administrative tribunal revoked Inco's operating licence on the grounds of environmental damage. Inco has continued to build its plant despite the court verdict.
::You might want to google "Rheebu Nuu" and see what pops up.  What "Administrative Tribuanl"???  Goro Nickel (only part owned by Inco) still has a construction and operating license.  It has not been revoked.
Sixteen indigenous militants have been prosecuted for damaging Inco property in April at the Goro site. They defended themselves by claiming "legitimate defence" and citing their constitutional right to a clean environment. They were acquitted.
::These would be members of "Rheebu Nuu".  They have not been aquitted but released pending trail.
Inco's New Caledonia plant houses hundreds of armed soldiers with armoured vehicles. These soldiers have French army uniforms and are paid by the French government but their barracks is within Inco's construction site. Inco contributes to the cost of housing these soldiers and allows them to use Inco vehicles for patrols in surrounding indigenous areas.\
::If you know anything about New Calendonia, you would realise that the agreement with France has all security under French authority.  Hence all local security and police are French.  Hence the paramilitaries operating against anti-french forces were "french army uniforms".  The Cost of housing "soldiers" is actually part of the permit.  Shot info 07:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: CVRD (which announced It is changing it's name to Vale) has announced it has renamed CVRD Inco to Vale Inco Limited.  I have moved the CVRD Inco article, and fixed a few of the double redirects, more work to be done I am sure.--Kelapstick (talk) 17:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Move to Vale Inco Limited

message: While the current logo at least captures Vale's new image, hopefully it's only temporary. First of all, with regards to Vale do Rio Doce.jpg, I don't think that there's a gradient in the stylized V graphic; it's just a solid colour. Moreover, the logo that uses the subsidiary name ("VALE INCO") should probably be used rather than that of the parent company. The image on Vale Inco's front page would be functional in that regard, but it's only 180x60. --Scani 14:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
