The decision was taken by the highest environmental authority of La Guajira, after verifying through an environmental monitoring visit to the site where the infrastructure of the tourist project called Sendero Ecocultural Riito stage II is located, that the sanitary batteries have not currently been completed and according to the technical description of the work, they will have a system for collecting and conveying wastewater to the traditional sewage system which is located near the intervention area., located on the Riíto bridge.

During the inspection, It was also evident that it has not yet been specified how the liquid waste generated in the project facilities will be transported to the sewer., which becomes necessary, taking into account the shape of the terrain, since the point where the water is expected to enter is higher than the sector where the batteries and kiosks are located, Therefore, a pollution problem could arise when the collection system overflows and wastewater enters directly into the Ranchería River..

In addition to the above, in the permit granted to this project, compensatory measures were established for the forestry exploitation activity that consisted of planting 50 trees, with heights between 30 and 50 centimeters, around the trails and passes, with existing species in the area of ​​influence of the works, To date, no evidence of progress in this activity has been found..

All of the above, Corpoguajira, decided to impose the preventive measure against the Department of La Guajira, consisting of the suspension of the activities carried out in the Riito stage II ecocultural trail project, until this entity approves the wastewater delivery system from the project's sanitary batteries., to the municipal sewer system, prior delivery of technical information and commitment to implementation.

The preventive measure imposed will be lifted once the causes that originated it disappear., as long as actions aimed at preventing are made, mitigar, correct or compensate environmental impacts related to the activities claimed by the Corporation, prior verification and approval by the environmental authority, subject to equal consideration by actions that may be brought by other State control entities.

Total or partial non-compliance with the preventive measure imposed by Corpoguajira, will be cause for aggravation of liability in environmental matters.
