Don't you have the environmental report for your quarry yet?

At Ideas MedioAmbiental, we call the document that presents the results of the environmental monitoring and surveillance of its exploitation and restoration.

Monitoring compliance with the Environmental Impact Statement or the environmental impact report corresponds to the substantive body, that is, the Administration that grants administrative authorization and project approval, which in the case of quarries corresponds to the mining authority.

The requirements for such monitoring are usually defined in the Environmental Impact Statement or the Environmental Impact Report. Usually, for these purposes, it is established that The developer submits to the substantive body a follow-up report on compliance with the conditions established in the environmental impact statement, which is what we at Ideas MedioAmbiental call an environmental report in the case of mining operations.

The monitoring report must include a checklist of the measures envisaged in the environmental monitoring program defined during the environmental assessment process from the quarry.
