📋 Tender Overview
More than 3,000 trees will be planted as part of the environmental mitigation measure supervised by the Piurana commune.The Provincial Municipality of Piura (MPP), through the Environmental Management Management and the Sub -Management of Ornament, strictly supervises compliance with the Environmental Compensation Plan that corresponds to the execution of the road work of Av. Don Bosco, which has been executed by the Regional Government of Piura.
The Piurana commune clarifies that, although the approval of the technical felling of trees was processed before the municipal authority, this measure is contemplated within the technical file formulated by the Regional Government of Piura, an entity that also finances and executes the work. In this context, the municipality specifies that its role has been to ensure that every intervention is properly justified and has the respective compensatory measures required by local regulations.
We have authorized felling only when it has been technically justified: when the root system of the trees is affected by the road stroke or when they were not sown with technical criteria, preventing their preservation, said Jaime Enrique Solano Castillo, MPP Environmental Management Manager.
The Environmental Authority explained that, for each talled tree, the executing company is obliged to replace 10 trees, as established by the current municipal ordinance. We are initially talking about 321 trees, which implies a replacement of more than 3,200 trees that must be sown within the period of the construction process, added Solano Castillo.
It was also specified that not all replacement trees will be sown on the same avenue Don Bosco, since urban planning and space availability do not allow such a high density. In that sense, planned reforestation will be implemented in various sectors of the Piura district, in order to achieve effective and sustainable environmental compensation.
Permanent control
The Municipality has reiterated its commitment to constantly control the work that has been carried out in the section between the Eguiguren Malecon and Gullman Avenue. We have made a technical and verified visit that, so far, no felling out of the authorized one has been made. However, if any infraction is detected, the corresponding sanctions will be applied, said the official.
The company in charge of the work has already been notified of the obligation to initiate, in parallel with the progress of the construction, the execution of the compensation plan. It is not just about sowing trees, but about doing it technically well: with adequate species, at least subway and a half height, and in times that allow, at the end of the work, the city already begins to recover its plant cover, said the manager.
Among the species selected for reforestation are the carob, the Guayacan, La Palmera, the Ficus, the Almendro, as well as ornamental bushes such as the Crotos and the Duranta, all adapted to the climate and soil of our region.
A call to environmental commitment
Finally, the Provincial Municipality of Piura reaffirms its commitment to the protection of the urban environment and environmental sustainability, and will continue to supervise that compensation actions are executed in accordance with the provisions. It also considers it essential that those responsible for the project reinforce socialization with citizenship, promoting a modern work that also respects and recovers the green areas of the city.
