Gestión de pasivos ambientales mineros (Explotaciones a cielo abierto)

Abstract

The lack of knowledge, information and identification of environmental liabilities in open sky mining, together with the deficiency of a legal framework, are inconveniences that delay prioritization processes to implement corrective mechanisms. The delay to assign responsibilities, jointly with the economic costs involved in recovering natural resources and compensations have postponed performance on the part of the actors involved. Additionally, planning mechanisms that include activities to reduce and prevent a negative impact on the environment must be pursued, with the purpose of avoiding or diminishing restoration processes, mitigation and compensation, which would significantly increase investments in any project , task or activity.
