It has been a written in the city which established that the application has the evaluation expired Environmental Impact ignores the new waste characterization before the rule change, and suffers from an Intervention Project for Protection of Archaeological Heritage and as they have ninguneado heavy metals found there for the purpose of treatment and decontamination

Citizen of Cartagena (MC), Movement just registered at City Hall in the port city a letter requesting the initiation of proceedings for a declaration of nullity of a partial plan "The Hondon" approved July 23, 2009, given that none of the activities undertaken to comply with the law there.

For political education Cartagena, the Local and Regional authorities have allowed a planning instrument succeed in a contaminated land, without paying any attention to precisely the most important situations: the health of citizens.

As is known to spare, this is a highly polluted and harmful to the health of all citizens of Cartagena land.

However, the Partial Plan The Hondon, the revised text is released on November 19, 2009, states that the land, as reported in 1998 EMGRISA and 2002 LQM, are contaminated with heavy metals, including mercury cadmium, etc. and phosphogypsum.

Today these areas are still contaminated, since on them has not been made nor any waste treatment and decontamination work.

For the sake of the Autonomous Community, the Ministry of Presidency, said last day June 24, 2014 that the soil of "The Hondon" is not listed as a soil as contaminated, as if they are the grounds of "zincs" and of "Peñarroya" privately owned.

And even when it is not the main subject of the letter presented, it is noteworthy that the contaminated soils that are privately owned are listed, while they are not owned by PODECASA.

For the mayor of MC, Jose Lopez, "this could lead to understand that what is done is to protect the citizens or not nature, but the members of the municipal government have occupied positions in PODECASA".

And Lopez adds, "We have submitted a written statement that demonstrates that the application has the evaluation expired Environmental Impact ignores the new waste characterization before the rule change, and suffers from an Intervention Project for Protection of Heritage Archaeological and who have ninguneado heavy metals found there for the purpose of treatment and decontamination. "

Therefore, "despite this interest the administration in advance against the public interest, we find that the partial plan is null and void for all legal violations highlighted in the letter we have presented" Lopez concludes.
