📋 Tender Overview
- The Comptrollers Office recommends that the Regional Government of Ancash take actions to avoid environmental and/or health risks.Ancash.- The Comptroller General of the Republic alerted the Regional Government of Ancash that the sewage network that is intended to be connected to the new Chiquian health center is deteriorated and functionally collapsed, a situation that represents an environmental and/or health risk.
Therefore, it was recommended to take actions with corrective measures and carry out legal physical sanitation of the land where a new sewage system will be built in accordance with the health establishment, which does not have the problem of deterioration and the inability to evacuate wastewater due to an insufficient slope that causes the effluents to stagnate.
According to the Concurrent Control Milestone Report No. 009-2026-OCI/5332-SCC, (evaluation period from March 2 to 6, 2026), the infrastructure of the sewage networks, managed by the Chavin Service Provider Company (EPS), to which the health centers drains were planned to be connected, are in critical condition and the Wastewater Treatment Plant (PTAR) remains inoperative, which represents a critical environmental and health risk incompatible with the start-up of a health facility.
Currently, household drains are evacuated to a storm drain without any treatment that discharges directly to the Pativilca River. This situation was warned by the executing company in October 2025; A week later, the mining company, which finances the project under the modality of works for taxes, communicated the risk to the Regional Government of Ancash so that urgent measures can be adopted.
The alert was ratified by the supervisory consortium through a legal technical report of the unviability of the sewage system. For this reason, in January 2026, during a meeting between the mining company, the executing consortium, the supervisory consortium, the EPS Chavin, the Gore Ancash and the Provincial Municipality of Bolognesi, it was recommended to implement an independent treatment system for the health centers wastewater.
However, until the date of issuance of the report, there was no availability of land for the sanitary sewage system, the responsibility of which falls on the Regional Government of Ancash, which delays the start of the preliminary studies for the preparation of the technical file for the new sewage network.
The report was communicated to the regional entity for preventive and corrective actions. Likewise, citizens can access the full content of the document through the Control Report Search.
