If these works do not correspond to tunnels then explaining clearly face to citizenship as they advertised on their open houses, are they, what are their characteristics and what is the magnitude of its environmental impact. With these words the Coordinator of the Coalition for citizen by Aysen Reserva de life, Peter Hartmann, referred to the claims of HidroAysen, Hernan Salazar, general manager that works the Soletanche Bachy contractor carried out in sectors adjacent to Baker River and Easter would not correspond tunnels but simple surveys. The Executive of the electric was interviewed by CNN Chile a few days ago in order to respond to the Coordinator of the Patagonia campaign of International Rivers, Gary Hughes, who last week visited the confluence of the rivers Baker and Chacabuco where the company linked to HidroAysen performs tasks and was surprised by the type of works which are executed in placewithout an environmental impact study approved. In the consultation if they were constructing tunnels as a way forward in the realization of the dams, Hernan Salazar expressed to the informative channel is what they do they are geological prospecting, no tunnels. A tunnel is very different from a prospection. In response, Peter Hartmann noted that the pictures are very clear on the type of tasks that are in progress, including camps. And that is found in places which can be accessed, because unfortunately we do not know what other jobs are pursuing in more isolated areas.

He added that based on false semantic discussions to lower profile to the intervention being carried out in areas of high environmental and cultural quality is an achievement. It is clear that the environmental impact is serious and they can not ignore that.
