The preservation of natural resources through the evaluation of the environmental impacts that a construction or project have on the environment, is one of the instruments promoted by the State Government through the Secretary of the Environment and Territorial Planning (SMAOT).
For this reason, with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the negative environmental impacts caused by human actions for the restoration of ecosystems are identified and corrected in advance.
In order to provide timely monitoring and the correct guidance to those natural or legal persons who intend to do a public or private work or activity that may cause an impact on the environment, the SMAOT created the ‘Personalized Environmental Impact Service ‘ –SEPIA-.
Through this process, personalized attention is provided to the applicant with the review of his application and file prior to admission, observations and/or recommendations are made; answering questions and concerns and monitoring.
