sit in San Carlos City MIRAMAR

The miners are interwoven many designs ... This is a story that shows 15 years after mining interests on water in Miramar.
In
94-98 people were more naive in the muni and more targeted to the mine.
mining parallel intentions, were those who understood the matráfulas, but still, a Municipal Council and mayor (1998-2002) firmly planted against mining, they went and could open the mine ...

Environmental Committee Miramar

May 25, 2010


The arrival of the rains do not represent any relief to Miramar and co neighboring communities continue to suffer from water shortage, caused this time, by landslides that collapsed Molina source causing the pollution accumulated educt with mud and water shortages and rationing from Saturdays do at night, putting at risk human health .

view the crisis that has forced to interrupt the school year at the Lyceum and some schools in the community, Miramar Environment Committee requested the Commission to Local and National Emergency, to conduct a comprehensive geotechnical study to determine the exact vulnerability of pipelines and municipal water catchments. The Environment Committee also called for intervention by health authorities to safeguard the welfare and Dad quality of life of the people using the municipal water.

The current problem dates back to 1994 when City Council Montes de Oro approved a water supply project, simple, effective and cheaper than was to capture the emerging Cob to inject the municipal water system. However, a few days, employees of the mining company, including the geologist Michael Alan, questioned the project and "good faith" the City Council commissioned Mr Alan "coordination" of a pre-project culminating with a diversion of the pipe that leaves the source for the mining Cob occupy public areas, and recommendations tion to incorporate the emerging municipal system Molina to justify the disengagement posterity Montezuma or of the sources 1 and 2, as indeed it did when it began operating the mine open pit gold in Bellavista.

During that time, the mining company ingratiated himself with the City conducting studies free of charge, giving him an old car, donating tubes and 200 thousand colones in cash, which ended up convincing the municipal executive Sammy Cortes, engineer Arturo Herrera of the Institute of Municipal Promotion and Advice (IFAM) and to the aldermen at the time, ended by approving the loan application of 85 million IFAM, convinced of the "advantages" to capture the source Molina, rising to the miners painted with an image of abundance 19 liters per second when gauging the National Electricity Service (SNE) and community just gave 9 liters per second.

In the vicinity of the source Molina, the current city administration has not been able to halt the illegal exploitation of slab or exert control over road construction on private farms. Nor does it account for at least two recent drilling 2 ¼ inches on land made by the locals belong to the geologist Alan, whose purpose is unknown, but undoubtedly contributing alterations aquifer deterioration Molina caught in the emerging, which is superficial in nature flow direction north-northwest and is covered by a layer of highly permeable alluvium and colluvium.

For members of the C ommittee Environmental catchments of the Molina and Cob sources were not made with the right design in the case of broken parts, hard rocks weathered soils with high rainfall and geologically unstable, causing landslides as the cause of the current crisis in the spring Molina.

For its part, the city government continues to fail by not led themselves with MINAE and SENARA to delimit and demarcate the aquifer recharge areas of all the springs connected to the municipal aqueduct , threatening human health by risk of contamination with human and animal waste and chemicals.

few remaining hopes of capturing clean water in the upper basin of Rio Plums despite efforts of residents who through motions filed by former Councilman Claudio González (1996) l former Councilwoman Martha White (1998) sought to declare the basin as a water reservoir for human consumption. succumbed area by mining open pit gold and now instead d and produce water, is deforested, covered with scrap tanks filled with crumpled debris of rocks, flanked by lagoons mining dumps plastics and below, full of broken geomembranes covered with crushed rocks leached by cyanide.

While cl loves water, Mayor Alvaro Jiménez defender of mining, only managed to say to look for water in the neighboring basin Naranjo River, also in the sights of AyA.

Crucitas moratorium on gold mining signed on May 8 Assembly

On 8 May, after his inauguration as President of the Republic, Mrs. Laura Chinchilla, his promise to sign the decree a moratorium on gold mining. With this, filled with satisfaction the majority of the population believes that metal mining is not compatible with the nature of a tropical country like ours, nor with its model of economic and social development.


There are, however, two key elements that should not be overlooked amid the cheers of the signature and promulgation of the decree, and that, conversely, must be a slow and cold analysis, with appropriate scientific criteria :

The first element is striking is that few days before the change of power and having announced Dona Laura, who was to issue a decree of a moratorium, the Arias administration signed a decree a moratorium on the gold mining. Administration had lifted an indefinite moratorium governing since 2002 (Decree No. 34492-MINAE, March 18, 2008), and had granted the mining concession for the project Crucitas (Resolution R-217-MINAE 21 April 2008) and which had declared of public interest and national convenience this project (Decree No. 34801-MINAET, October 13, 2008).

This decree signed leaving the now ex-President Arias, said the moratorium only to gold mining in the open, leaving out the type of gold mining underground, pleasure, which is one that does not use cyanide or mercury, but extracting gold from river sediments, and other metal mining. It also includes a strange phrase: "All rights acquired before the publication of this decree shall be respected" without clarifying what kind of law and won in what form, which in terms of the current Mining Code, can be contradictory from the technically and legally.

The second element refers to the modification decree signed Dona Laura, for which there are several important observations:

1. Extending the moratorium issued by the Arias administration to also reach the metal mining type gold underground, and is limited to gold mining using cyanide and mercury.
2. It leaves out the mining of placer gold, which represents a potential danger to the Osa Peninsula where such mining would occur.
3. No rest declared moratorium on metal mining, such as silver, aluminum, copper, lead, chromium, nickel, manganese, uranium, of which the country, geological conditions, might have potential. Do not forget the statement of the College of Geologists of Costa Rica to the Legislative Assembly in March on the text alternative to the Mining Code in which signals the country's mining potential. With the decree as it stands, the mining companies will continue to seek exploration permits and mining concessions to metal for other metals than gold. It is clear that there is an inconsistency, since this type of mining is equal to or more powerful than gold mining.
4. Maintaining the wording used by the moratorium decree Don Abel Pacheco in 2002, and that clearly did not work with the Arias administration, noting that the moratorium is declared as "undefined." Given this, it is best to be consistent with the target, and noted that the moratorium stays until it has made a comprehensive review Mining Code and, based on an assessment of costs - environmental benefits of metal mining in the country, take a final decision on such national activity.
5. Finally, to keep the phrase "All rights acquired before the publication of this decree shall be respected" without clarifying what rights and how they are obtained, there is a risk that many of the nearly 40 cases of metal mining, 15 of them in the same Crucitas mining, Industrias Infinito SA, and another 3 in indigenous territories, do the same thing happened in 2003 and claimed, based on confusing wording of the Code Current Mining, have already acquired rights and therefore should be allowed to proceed with the formalities of exploration and mining. Much could have happened for almost 23 months-long survey of metal mining moratorium, enacted by the Arias administration.

As noted above, the moratorium decree signed by the lady president leaves open many doors for metal mining to continue giving in the country, which seems to contradict its commitment to ban mining moratorium by emergency decree.

In this perspective, it is appropriate to provide guidance to the near future, in which demand precious metals by TNCs, put your eyes on the valuable resources of the seabed and subsoil, where our country has enormous reserves consistent with strategic areas of play and variety of species.

Given this, we would make a passionate call to the new authorities to reconsider the decree signed on May 8, based on fundamentals more legal, technical and scientific, so it closes firmly and decide the likelihood of metal mining activity that could develop in the country under the present conditions.

I respectfully submit a proposal to decree that could be a basis for discussion and analysis in order to improve the mining moratorium decree in the country. URGENT APPEAL

What should never say on Crucitas SENARA Manager

• Miguel Ramírez Hernández (*)

In the extensive record Crucitas (21 volumes) have sought and have found nowhere a technical study SENARA officials to endorse the mining project located in Las Crucitas. Greatly surprised that the President of the Constitutional Court, Ana Virginia Calzada, say to the media that the project has the backing of SENARA, when this is totally false and not resting on any technical document SENARA. La Sala IV was induced in error by a note signed by Mr. Bernal Soto Zuniga, Manager of SENARA (volume 3707 folio XI V), saying that official a document which, as manager, "endorse" the study of a company hired by the developer of the project Crucitas, but these have been endorsed and corroborated field visit by technical staff of the institution. In the case of a mining project of this importance, which also provides a depth of 67 meters, in two pits, it is surprising that the technical criteria of our institution has been managed in this way, referring to studies of others. In a note

SUB-543-2008, the Research and Water Management of SENARA, dated December 3, 2008 (folio Volume V 1148), this Office stated "The SENARA no information to define the recharge and discharge areas and the impact of mining on groundwater and surface water. Therefore, it is considered that it takes the development of detailed hydrogeological studies for the assessment of the impacts that mining may have on groundwater, which is estimated to require an estimated time of 10 to 12 months in its execution. " This, in order to have complete information of the status of groundwater in the area of \u200b\u200bCrucitas and evaluate the impact of this mining project. This note was taken by management and transmitted according to the Constitutional Court (folio1143 volume V). However, the resources requested were not for that study, which was never made. We

this respect to recall that the Research and Water Management has never been directly invited to participate or the inspection of the site on September 11, 2009 or the hearing at the Board in November 2009 but Manager "urged" an official of that agency to accompany him. During the inspection even SENARA officials could not enter most of the sites inspected due to lack of coordination with the security services of the Company Infinite Gold, so that the magistrates in charge of the inspection did not have a hydrogeologist SENARA to address questions during this visit of recognition. And we must also note that SENARA Manager, an agronomist by profession, was the one who answered most of the doubts of Mr. and Mrs. Judge during the hearing in November 2009. This procedure clearly contrary to a recommendation of the Comptroller General of the Republic (Report DFOE-PGAA-11-2009 of July 17, 2009) which, when it became apparent inconsistencies between the statement made by the Technical and Management SENARA this institution in the case of aquifers in coastal areas, specifically warned that "the Research and Water Management / ... / corresponds to communicate through the media and established formal channels, studies, criteria and recommendations to the appropriate, without it means to be subject to approval or review in informal technical and administrative bodies, as if the management or the Board "(p. 10 of the aforementioned report.)

Therefore, as a Costa Rican official of this institution unbecoming categorically stated by Mr. Manager SENARA on Crucitas mining project. I affirm without fear that the Research and Water Management, there is no technical study conducted by the Directorate, and this was never directly called to give their views during the inspection on site or at the hearing held in November 2009. Respectfully but publicly urge Mr. Manager quoting the folio number in the 21 volumes of records of the Constitutional Court that has a technical review of our institution approved by the Research and Water Management to endorse the Crucitas mining project in entirety.
