Collectives, Alytes Association, Ecological Association of Jarama El Soto, Ecolo, The Espartal-Ecologists in Action, Ecologists in Action, Globalízate, GRAMA and Jarama Vivo, require the Department of the Environment to immediately execute the commitments made in 2009 for cleaning and removal of oil and acid sludge deposited in the "oil pond" located in Arganda, within the Southeast Regional Park and owned by the Community of Madrid.
Similarly, critics of the Director General of Environment, Federico Ramos, attempting to deceive citizenship, denying the commitments made and proposing measures that do not comply with the law. Faced with public appearances in various media by members of the Ministry of Environment and Regional Government, environmental groups from South Park as a hoax that is being said that the Regional Administration is carrying out appropriate measures to prevent killed hundreds of birds. The Ministry of Environment has ignored the commitments made in 2009 after purchasing the oil lake that year. According to statements by Federico Ramos appeared on March 31, 2009 in various media, the process decontamination and reclamation of the area could be resolved "in one or two years." Similarly announced the recovery project in the Regional Park Governing Board, a body missing today after their elimination by the Government of Esperanza Aguirre in December 2010.
Similarly, Environment Minister Maria Isabel Mariño promised in the same year in the development of the Environmental Council of the Community of Madrid, the formation of a working group formed with experts, environmentalists and government to bring solution the status of the lagoon. None of this was reached perform Unfortunately the reality is very different purposes confessed at the time by officials of the Ministry of Environment.
The regional government has done nothing more than to attribute to place the colloquial label of "gap Chernobyl" and unfortunately it continues swallowing cormorants, herons, ducks and even owls. Many of these birds, stimulated from above by the reflection of the alleged sheet of water, ending his days unable to escape their feathers once disabled by the action of tar. The enormous toxicity of these compounds in a short time causes severe damage to mucous and epithelia.
But the situation becomes more serious when, taking a hasty solution in the interest of the media, Federico Ramos pulls out the establishment in the area of \u200b\u200bthe lagoon from a waste treatment plant at an estimated cost of 20 million euros. Simpler and cheaper solutions, such as pumping of oil into trucks which move the waste to treatment plants toxic waste also would mean solving the problem of bird mortality in a few months.
But it is totally ridiculous because the existence of waste facilities in the area where the lagoon is not contemplated in Using the Master Plan and Park Management. Thus Article 3.8 a), only support these uses in the districts of Madrid and Pinto, and not in Arganda as is the case. Federico Ramos should know a little more about the rules that have been approved (without public involvement) during his tenure. Given this shameful attitude and dereliction of duties of the Regional Administration, the undersigned groups demand:
- The immediate removal of waste oil and acid sludge from the "lake of oil" within a period not exceeding six months and environmental restoration of the whole farm.
- The call Urgent Environmental Council at which the Councillor to explain why they have not carried out the commitments that have led to the deaths of thousands of birds.
- The formation of the working group to the lagoon, within the Environment Council, which presented all the work done by the Ministry, and the results of analysis and studies conducted to date. Also in this table should track cleanup and restoration of fine
- The immediate cessation of the Director General of Environment for their incompetence to solve the problem of oil lagoon, as head of la muerte anual de cientos de aves en un
espacio protegido y por proponer falsas medidas que son contrarias a la
normativa del Parque Regional del Sureste.
- La aplicación de la Ley de Responsabilidad Ambiental (Ley 26/2007, de
23 de octubre), para determinar las posibles responsabilidades de la
Comunidad de Madrid y de los anteriores propietarios de la finca
(Ulibarri-Piqsa).
