If a release is detected or reported, MIPL prioritizes in stopping the release, containing the spill, sampling, and identifying the spill material, and clean-up of the release based on respective Construction, Operations and Maintenance Practices (COMPs) to recover the spilled material and reduce environmental impact. When required, the atmosphere is monitored with sensitive equipment to track and record the presence and concentrations of hazardous air emissions during normal operations (proactive), during an incident, and ongoing during a response.
