Montana in Guatemala, a subsidiary of Goldcorp powerful, just give us a masterclass in how to lie and deceive when you can. Worth analyzing the checkbox paid yesterday, Montana. "Marlin made water discharge in the presence of regulatory institutions." In other words, Montana threw a stream of contaminated water in the river basin Cuilco. Ensures
publication "Montana met the commitments in the EIA and the regulation of discharges and re-use of wastewater and sludge disposal, that the discharge was carried out within a framework of transparency and public institutions conducted monitoring and regulatory oversight. "
Lie. Montana no notice to the Ministry of Environment and had no protocol to dump potentially polluting the river water, so the MARN, which is the regulatory agency for environmental pollution, such activity could not monitor properly. Happened to be in the area of \u200b\u200bthe mine one of the monitoring team of the Ministry, who took samples eye! several hours after they were downloaded. "The download is, in most cases, the excess rainwater that accumulates during the winter season in the tailings dam, and has been recirculated by the water treatment plant modern industrial region," anuncito says. It says that what keeps the tailings dam is a veritable toxic soup, dangerous and polluting. Stored in the dam-water-rock well shattered, all chemicals used for the process (as cyanide), explosives, oils, greases, fuels and antifreeze, and drain water from the industrial complex of laboratories and other operations, and perhaps fertilizers and pesticides. Guatemalans do not know the composition of the rock, because that information was not contained in the Environmental Impact Assessment (as had happened with a decent EIA), so one can speculate that the dam could be particles of aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, copper, chromium, cobalt, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, thallium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc, and radioactive constituents (such as uranium, thorium and other) from the rock itself, manganese, sodium potassium silicates, sulfides, sulfates, nitrates, ammonia, boron, phosphorus and chlorine.
These materials are mixed and react, very small doses of some of these items can cause much damage. Montana did not advise the MARN and transparently downloaded! night. Admitted to having downloaded when little work was done.
The excuse was that there was too much water in the dam and this could break. Please! No rain began to fall last week. The miner should have foreseen this situation and requested permission in advance, so that regulatory agencies could adequately supervise an operation so dangerous. But let's face it: this is the modus operandi of the mining operations. So far, Montana has always had his way, did consultation and there is the mine has not paid the millions owed to MARN quetzales not have their permits to import cyanide, and it still matters, failed to repair the 140 houses cracked, not the mine closed as mandated by the Commission. So continue doing what he wants, quiet, as usual. "Y. ..?
