The Department of Nature Conservation (SEPRONA) Civil Guard has prepared a report, based on allegations of ANSE, in which are shown numerous irregularities in the functioning of Regent Mine landfill as landfill restoration The Gorguel.

SEPRONA reports, dated in February, and delivered both to the City Council as the autonomous region, specifically state, in reference to dump the Gorguel, which at the time of inspection "... not have the cover on the total area, as stated in the draft sealing, only with some native vegetation by natural colonization in the south side of landfill. "

Similarly, despite the penalty three years ago brought complaints from the Civil Guard and ASEAN in relation to the landfill Mina Regent SEPRONA reports stress that is in contravention of the Environmental Impact Statement: "In the face of the landfill residues have been found such as mattresses, metal carts typical whole malls, refrigerators and metal appliances in general, automotive tires without being chopped whole, furniture and home furnishings such as sofas, chairs, etc ... all sorts cartons and Most household trash bags are unopened.

It is important to see how these residues are on the front of the landfill having gone through the sorting plant and are not even torn, broken, crushed or rolled, which means that despite being dumped by the collection trucks plant selection, no prior treatment before being again loaded onto trucks and dumped directly into landfill "..

SEPRONA also documents that, despite the fact that the landfill is authorized only for rejected from treatment, recycling and composting of municipal waste in Cartagena, receives the other as La Union and San Javier, CESPA Management, Containers FCC, Saica Environment, Matthew Mateo, Mar Menor, GS Spain, etc ...

Moreover, the Autonomous Community of Murcia Region has provided the Providence ANSE Initiation of disciplinary proceedings against Lhicarsa (joint venture of FCC and the Cartagena Aytmto) for breach of the obligations imposed in the permits, concerning leachate collection poor.

However, does not endorse the lack of revegetation of the landfill, as recognized in the inspection report of the same region, nor unauthorized discharge of waste, as evidenced by the report of SEPRONA, which led to the rapid silting of the weir.

The Association has applied to reopen the disciplinary proceedings filed last year by the Environmental Quality Department of the Autonomous Region, reportedly because he had "lost" the documentation submitted by Lhicarsa.

ANSE believes that the Autonomous Community is having a favorable treatment with Lhicarsa company, or whatever it is, with FCC and the city of Cartagena, suggesting very mild sanctions or disciplinary proceedings by filing improperly, to very serious breaches of legislation waste treatment and landfills, and environmental impact statements affecting landfills and Mina El Gorguel Regent.

ANSE complaint, even though several years have elapsed since its launch, Lhicarsa has not yet yielded to the Autonomous log book of waste entering the landfill after spending per plant, since apparently there .

The allegations have prompted the Association of the Autonomous Region was directed at the beginning of last December Lhicarsa and other companies that manage the largest landfills in the region with a "requirement on the application of control procedures and monitoring stages operation and maintenance of landfill waste, which must submit within 15 days.

Association responsible to the City of Cartagena's poor past performance of Regent Mine dump, on which is turning a blind eye for years, promoting their rapid sedimentation, and wasting the funding from the European Union.

Remember that the landfill sites were not expropriated, but leased to the owners (Alfonso Garcia and Mariano Roca) by a large sum of money.

Other consequences of mismanagement of the landfill waste and Regent Mine has been the increase of municipal debt for the construction of a new landfill, when there should be 10 years of use in the Regent Mine, residents will pay additional costs city through the receipt of waste, and waste large amounts of recyclable resources that had been an economic benefit to the municipal coffers, and generating quite a few jobs in the plant debris.
