Villa Tortel
He expressed that analyze these and other specific aspects linked to the HidroAysen project should have been considered at the time to organize the seminar because talk, conveniently for the company, it is only of international successful experiences without addressing the project and its possible impacts, nor what they say the technical bodies, an incongruity. In this regard, he recalled Sernatur presented a 13 page report that questioned various aspects of the EIA, comments among which requires studies and compensations at the regional level, with regard to the damage that the PHA will cause to the regional tourist image. He also noted that due to the reduction of the area of influence defined by the company, the mitigation and compensation measures proposals for tourism are not in any case at the height of the impact it may cause. Daniela Castro finally added that although can be interesting to analyze previous international experiences, draw much attention that HidroAysen do not take into account the disastrous impact of the dams on the Bio Bio on this basin. Strangely that example, which is the closest to our cultural and environmental, reality is not considered in this seminar. Tourism in Caleta Tortel Moreover, who was responsible for the program of Local development of the municipality of Tortel in the tourism area and coordinated the respective comments to EIA, Claudia Torres, he recalled that the environmental impact study stated that the basin of the Baker to Caleta Tortel has tourist activity but it is concluded that tourism would be a sparsely developed economic activity and that it represents a low contribution to the household economy. Under these conditions, do not understand the interest in talking about complementarity between hydropower and tourism, if they consider that this economic activity is irrelevant. This is another inconsistency.
Even more so considering that, for example, is the second most important category in Caleta Tortel. Claudia Torres indicated that such was the lack of information for a correct and deep analysis of the environmental impact that became impossible to study the evaluation of this property. For example, does not have a complete and detailed analysis of the generation of direct and indirect sales and employment generated by tourism in the region and especially in the communities that are in the stretch of the road network from Coyhaique to Villa O’Higgins, whereas the communes of Cochrane and Tortel explained. It would be interesting that HidroAysen take charge of these deficiencies concrete in your project, because you can talk about compatibility but while they do not present a serious project and full is very little that you can take clear pointed out. Finally, indicated that another inconsistency is that HidroAysen is devoted to encourage discussion about the regional tourism considering that when the company refrained from supporting a process of consultation regional citizen on dams in Aisen Pedro Vial, environment and community relations manager, justified the decision arguing that it was prudent to remain independent of any activity that escape into the direct sphere of action as empresa de generacion ELeCTRICA, of way to respect, in his quality of evaluated, regular lines of technical analysis and the competence of the State services that are called upon to vote on the same. Could it be that HidroAysen expanded the rotation of electric company to productive development agency now? asked the professional.
