The Association of Naturalists and headed east in early July to the Segura basin (CHS) to report the discharge of wastewater treatment plant-La Isla Plana Azohía the Rambla del Canar, on the border with Protected Area, Site of Community Importance (SCI) and Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) from La Muela-Cabo Tiñoso.
Now he has reiterated his complaint to the CHS and the Autonomous Community in the worsening of the situation.
The plant, which still includes all the waters of the coastal districts of Isla Plana and La Azohía, on the west coast of Cartagena, has been doing for several weeks discharges directly from the slope of the facilities, having flooded part of the channel the Rambla del Canar, their access from Isla Plana.
The water quality does not meet, no doubt, the parameters of discharge into a channel of public domain and therefore have plenty of foam and organic matter.
ANSE was the only entity that submitted claims in 2002 the Environmental Impact Study, asking that this infrastructure will be located in another area further away from the protected area to prevent the same adverse conditions.
The Association also believes that this sewage water (properly treated) could be used, in addition to agriculture, to create wetlands for wildlife in the lower channel of the Rambla del Canar, regenerating the area affected by the extraction of aggregates (gravel pits) and dumping of debris, after the survey and recovery in the public domain.
Moreover, a few months ago that ANSE complained to the Autonomous another breach of the Environmental Impact Statement, in relation to the use of invasive exotic plants (Carpobrotus) on the slopes of the sewage coming into the channel of the Rambla del Canar, rather than restocking with native species.
ANSE's complaint forced to withdraw all the exotic plantings and their replacement by native flora, but disregard the recommendations that the Association carried out on species used, following the request from the same manufacturer.
Also, in early 2008 the Association had complained to the Segura River Basin that part of the slopes of the sewage had invaded the promenade area police.
ANSE had also submitted various letters before asking the plant size is limited to the need to treat the water of the target population for Isla Plana and La Azohía in the General Plan, given the concern that they could exploit this infrastructure to increase urban land, and possible future expansions will damage even more protected space.
Indeed, the city of Cartagena has already included all agricultural soils ranging from Isla Plana and La Azohía as residential development land in the new General Urban Plan of Cartagena, as provisionally adopted.
