In an audience, held today (March 21) in Minas Gerais, a schedule was presented, which outlined the start of the emergency indemnities payment registry service for residents of other locations in the Brumadinho area, namely the municipalities located up to 1km from the Paraopeba River, from Brumadinho to the Retiro Baixo reservoir in Pompéu. The service will be carried out at Indemnity Registration Stations (PRIs), from Monday to Saturday, from 8 am to 6 pm, in each location until the end of April. The company has a deadline of 10 working days to evaluate all documentation. If no further documentation is required, then Vale has another 10 business days to make the payment, which will be made retrospectively for 12 months, i.e. from January to December.
