📋 Tender Overview
Preventive measure obliges the administrator to guarantee immediate access to safe water for the affected communities, while the quality of the water resource is recovered.The Environmental Assessment and Supervision Agency (OEFA) issued a preventive measure after the grounding and collision of a river convoy that generated a crude oil spill in the Amazon River, with an estimated volume of more than 285 barrels.
Within the framework of supervision, the OEFA established a preventive measure that orders the administrator to supply water for human consumption free of charge to the affected populations, Yanashi, San Antonio de Arambaza, Santa Rosa de Oroza, Nuevo Tacna, among others, as an immediate action to reduce health risks and address the environmental emergency.
In this regard, from the first moment, the OEFA carried out supervision work on nearly 5 km of banks of the Amazon River, where it verified the execution of first response actions. During the field actions, water and sediment samples were taken, and the containment and cleaning tasks carried out by the contracting company were supervised.
This provision seeks to guarantee access to safe water in impacted areas, especially in communities that directly depend on the river for their daily activities. In this sense, the protection of the population and timely attention to the effects of the spill are prioritized.
The measure will remain in force until the recovery of water quality in the affected area is guaranteed. At the same time, the OEFA will continue with supervisory actions to verify compliance with the provisions and ensure that the administrator adopts the necessary measures to mitigate the impacts generated.
