The judicial expertise that sought to know the content of the pools that overflowed contaminants on the street at the entrance of the Neuquén Environmental Complex (CAN) revealed that the old local sinks not only smell of oil, but also contain hydrocarbons and oils.
The study became known this week as part of the progress of the precautionary measure that sought stop the dumping of pollutants on the fence. The case has as protagonists the municipality of Neuquén, the Ombudsman’s Office and the APDH as a third party for more than two years.
Justice it was not able to stop, not even with the threat of personally collecting fines from municipal officials, the continuous dumping without testing or control, of liquids with all kinds of wastes in the place.

The municipality insisted that Those old pools had to be remedied with a new sewage decantation and oxidation system that was put out to tender in the surroundings and when it was at 70% construction, the work on the fence ceased following the protest of the Mapuche community for the unconsulted action of moving the sewage dump in the vicinity of the community lof.
