📋 Tender Overview
- Negative Environmental Impact Risks would avoid the consolidation of the area as a landfillArequipa.- The Comptroller General of the Republic warned of the Provincial Municipality of Arequipa (MPA) on deficiencies in the treatment of waste in the dump or degraded area by solid waste from Quebrada Honda, located in the Yura district, which generates a negative environmental impact and would make it difficult for the area to be recognized as a sanitary landfill.
The Quebrada Honda dump began its operations on July 1, 2014 until 2023 under the administration of a private company. In 2024 the provincial commune assumed the administration, operation and maintenance of the area degraded by solid waste, under the direct administration modality.
In the Control Milestone Report No. 4154-2025-CG/GRAR-SCC it is revealed that the Provincial Municipality does not have sufficient amount of machinery to carry out the daily work of compaction of solid waste, a situation that generates bad odors, an unexpected emission of gases and proliferation of vectors (insects) that could affect public health and environmental quality.
Lack of control was also identified on the proliferation of dogs in the area of final disposal of the dump, which constitutes a breach of the Reconversion and Management Program of the degraded area.
It should be noted that the MPA approved the Operation and Maintenance Plan of the solid waste disposal area Honda, which should guarantee the confinement of an average volume of 1000 tons per day of solid waste in the dump, for a period of seven months of 2025. However, the provisions of the document would not be complied with.
Another adverse situation identified is that the degraded area reconversion and management program is outdated, a situation that could cause them not to have adequate measures to prevent and minimize negative environmental impacts, as well as the lack of updated strategies for waste management, the recovery and rehabilitation of the site, this situation hinders the fulfillment of the objective of converting Honda ravine into a sanitary landfill.
The report prepared by the Regional Management of Control of Arequipa was communicated to the provincial mayor, with the objective of adopting the corresponding preventive and corrective actions. It is also available in the Institutional Portal of the Comptroller (www.gob.pe/contraloria).
