The MADES environment ministry intervened at the Laguna Blanca tourist establishment, located in Santa Rosa del Aguaray, San Pedro department. The action was prompted by a complaint of alleged non-compliance with environmental regulations and was carried out with the accompaniment of the Public Ministry and under a court order.
Ministry technicians confirmed interventions within the lagoon's water protection zone, such as soil removal for recreational areas and terrain modification for the construction of artificial islands. These works were not included in the approved environmental plans for the site.
Inspectors also found improper disposal of solid waste, including glass bottles, cans, and plastics in open pits within vegetated areas. The situation represents a potential risk to the local ecosystem.
MADES stated it will continue with administrative procedures to determine responsibilities and apply the sanctions provided by law, reinforcing oversight for the protection of natural resources in high-value environmental ecosystems like Laguna Blanca.
