The Barrick Goldstrike Mine has three active Air Quality Operating Permits. Data is consolidated and reported in monthly compliance logs, which are then reviewed by the State of Nevada’s Bureau of Air Pollution Control. The data is obtained primarily through AVEVA™ PI System™; however, for many compliance points, data must still be manually recorded in the field.
