Senace highlighted the approval of 71 Detailed environmental impact studies (EIA-d) and its modifications (MEIA-d), translated into US$31,292 million in sustainable investments for Peru on mining, electricity, hydrocarbons, transportation and health projects in solid waste.
In the mining sector, the entity environmentally certified 36 EIA-d and MEIA-d, for an amount of US$24,056 million in sustainable investments.
Among the emblematic projects approved are the Yanacocha (Cajamarca), Mina Justa (Ica), Cerro Verde (Arequipa) and Río Seco (Huaral) mining units.
Along these lines, since April of this year, Senace approved 6 EIA-d and MEIA-d, of which 3 belong to the Mining sector: Inmaculada (Ayacucho), Zafranal (Arequipa) and Yumpag Carama (Pasco), representing US$6,051 millions in sustainable investments.
It is important to highlight that for Senace, citizen participation is a fundamental asset for the adequate approval of environmental management instruments, which is why, in the evaluations carried out, the participatory mechanisms established in the current legal framework have been complied with.
To date, the entity maintains 18 large investment projects under evaluation (EIA-d and MEIAd); 13 of them in the Mining sector, which involve an approximate investment amount of US$8.3 billion, among which are the Raura Mining Units (Huánuco and Lima), Antamina (Áncash), Tantahuatay (Cajamarca) and the EIA-d of the project Romina (Lima).
