Exploration Well Environmental Impact Assessment and Compliance Monitoring in a Protected Area. A project for Empresa Petrolera CHACO S.A. (BP AMOCO), we developed the EIA for the drilling of the Ustarez X-1 exploration well located in the heart of the Kaa Iya National Park near the Paraguayan border, and executed the permanent monitoring or supervision of environmental considerations during the its execution phase.
Baseline Audit for Environmental Liabilities from Past Mining Operations. Including the drilling of drill holes at large tailings ponds, we developed a complete analysis of mining environmental liabilities generated from mines operated even as late as the 19th century, and provided remediation alternatives that are now being implemented. This work was executed for the Bolivian Mining Corporation (COMIBOL for its Spanish initials).
Environmental Impact Assessment for an Electrical Co-Generation Plant operating from Bagasse.
