Yesterday, 700 saplings were planted atop the one hectare of land that now serves as the Nazik tailings dam belonging to the Akhtala Enrichment Combine.
Whether the project, carried out under the auspices of the European Union's Waste Management Program, will actually halt the run-off and other environmental safety issues associated with the dam remains to be seen.
As seen in the accompanying photo, the workers plating the saplings wore no protective gear.
Artak Demirjyan, who heads the Lori Regional Authority's Division of the Environment, said that the tailings dam presents no health risks given that is buried underground.
