📋 Tender Overview
The Environmental Assessment and Supervision Agency (OEFA), an entity attached to the Ministry of the Environment, informs citizens that, in light of the alleged oil spill that occurred in Ecuadorian territory, a series of immediate and preventive actions have been arranged to safeguard environmental quality in Peruvian territory.
As part of these actions, the OEFA will take water samples for five consecutive days, in order to have timely and technical information that allows identifying any environmental impact that may occur.
Likewise, within the framework of the functions and powers of each entity, the OEFA has been coordinating actions with the General Directorate of Captaincies and Coast Guard (Dicapi), the National Water Authority (ANA), the National Forestry and Wildlife Service (Serfor), the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp) and Fondepes, with the aim of strengthening the preventive response and monitoring in the areas that may be affected.
In this sense, the OEFA has begun preventive monitoring of the environmental quality of the water resource in the Napo River, given the possibility that the hydrocarbon spill could move towards the border area with Peru.
Likewise, the OEFA will request the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request official information from the Republic of Ecuador regarding the alleged spill, in order to have confirmed data on the origin, magnitude and progress of the incident.
The OEFA reaffirms its commitment to act with diligence, transparency and technical rigor to protect environmental quality and peoples health, keeping citizens informed about any developments in the case.
