For IU-Greens, is the responsibility of politicians avoid getting to be in Cieza situations like those experienced in Castellón by the "Castor Project."
The municipal group of IU-Greens in the city of Cieza make at the next plenary standard battery of questions to learn if the company "Oil and Gas Capital, SL" has already begun research on the presence of hydrocarbons in the subsurface of our town and its possible removal by extraction technique hydraulic fracking, and the status thereof.
As recalled José Eduardo Illueca, councilor of the group, "from the April 19, 2013 this company has multinational research license granted to conduct research for a period of six years, which states that during the first year work to be done consist of field geology for geochemical analyzes, gathering technical information available from previous performances, conducting gravimetric campaign, conducting preliminary market studies for the work of later phases and a first assessment Exploratory objectives defined. "
The Royal Decree that such authorization is granted administrative states in Article 6 that "the operator shall submit the work plan for the first year of operation and begin the research, within six months from the effectiveness of This Royal Decree ".
So Illueca question in his questioning "whether this plan work has been entered in the municipality of Cieza or if the municipal government has become aware of it in any other way, and whether the company has applied to the City of Cieza a permit to perform work that may be considered integrated in the work plan for the first year of operation. "
Another aspect of great interest to IU-Greens is "what information is planning to offer from the municipal government to Full Council and all citizens on the Work Plan established by the company and the conduct of the research and results they are obtained ".
Ecosocialista councilor has insisted that "there is still time to declare fracking Cieza free municipality, and thus push for the use of these techniques for extracting gas hydraulic fracturing, as dangerous as contaminants, to avoid".
According to Illueca, "what is happening in these last days in Castellon with Castor project should move us all to reflect on the consequences of making decisions without listening or citizenship, or the organizations that make up the social fabric, Not even to common sense and the most elementary principle of prudence, we must remember that the succession of numerous earthquakes of different intensity in Castellon and Ebro Delta project is due to an underground gas storage injection, a technique that presents obvious similarities with hydraulic fracturing extraction, and we must also remember that the area affected by the project is cataloged seismicity Leo average, and we have two pipelines submerged in the swamp of Cenajo likely to be affected and not so serious, catastrophic but in case of an earthquake of a certain intensity. "
The research activities involve drilling and hydraulic fracturing from the second year, so that "the risk of contamination of surface water and groundwater by the use of very harmful chemicals to human health and to the environment as well as the seismic hazard for the tension created on one of the many active faults in the area are, much less, something distant in time, but something imminent. "
To Illueca, "Cieza Peoples Party has to face the responsibility for taking sides with the public and environmental safety and health, even if it means taking a different approach to some bigwigs of the party and, in particular, of a Minister Industry clearly delivered to the defense of the interests of big power companies and multinational oil and gas, and hopefully well see it in a short period of time, for the good of all.
