📋 Tender Overview
The measure seeks to prevent soil contamination, the generation of bad odors and the proliferation of vectors.
The Environmental Assessment and Supervision Agency (OEFA), an entity attached to the Ministry of the Environment, signed a commitment document with the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE), responsible for the administration of the Cusco penitentiary establishment, located in the district of San Jeronimo, province and department of Cusco.
The INPE committed to implementing actions aimed at cleaning the area intended for the temporary collection of solid waste, installing containers and enabling a central warehouse for the proper disposal of solid waste within the penitentiary establishment.
After on-site supervision, the OEFA ordered that the INPE execute these measures within a maximum period of six months, counting from October 17 of this year. It should be noted that the Cusco penitentiary establishment generates about 2.8 tons of solid waste daily and is located in an area of approximately 9.43 hectares, located less than 50 meters from neighboring homes.
The measure established by the OEFA, within the framework of indicative supervision, is intended to prevent soil contamination, avoid bad odors and control the proliferation of vectors that could affect the surrounding population.
