📋 Tender Overview
Supervision detected that deficiencies persist in the management of leachate and solid waste, despite commitments made by the municipality.The Environmental Assessment and Supervision Agency (OEFA) warned that the Yauyos landfill, located in the province of Jauja (Junin), continues to present serious deficiencies in the management of solid and leachate waste. The latest supervision, which began on June 30 and is still ongoing, confirms that the final disposal cell has already exceeded its capacity and that the infrastructure continues to operate without correcting observations made during inspections carried out in November 2025 and March 2026 through signed commitment minutes.
OEFA Junin specialists verified the outcropping of leachate on the natural soil in an area near the storage pond, which would show inadequate conduction of these effluents. They also confirmed that around 3,685 cubic meters of solid waste remain exposed due to the lack of sufficient coverage.
Ymelda Montoro, head of the OEFA Decentralized Office in Junin, commented that the situation represents a high risk of affecting the soil, water and air quality due to the emissions generated by the exposed waste. Added to this is a possible impact on the agricultural and livestock activities that take place in the surroundings, as well as on the surroundings of Qhapaq Nan, since the infrastructure is located next to this important pre-Hispanic road.
The official warned that the final disposal cell has already exceeded its capacity and, so far, the District Municipality of Yauyos has not enabled a new area to continue with the proper disposal of solid waste. Faced with this scenario, the entity is considering issuing an administrative measure that forces the commune to urgently correct the deficiencies detected.
The OEFA recalled that the proper management of solid waste is the responsibility of local governments and that the control of leachate, together with the daily coverage of waste, constitutes an environmental obligation aimed at preventing impacts on the environment and the health of the population.
Data:
The District Municipality of Yauyos registers a penalty imposed by the OEFA through Resolution No. 2190-2024-OEFA/DFAI, equivalent to 4.76 UIT, for deficiencies in solid waste management, non-compliance with environmental monitoring and obligations established in its Environmental Management Instrument.
