City,—The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is set to
inspect the on-going rehabilitation works where the 150-megawatt Burgos wind
power farm is now fully operational.
To ensure the proper implementation
of the approved rehabilitation plan covering the Forest Land Use Agreement
(FLAG) of the Energy Development Corporation’s wind power generation in Burgos,
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer Juan de los Reyes Jr.
said an inspection and assessment team composed of at least six
representatives from the Community Environment and Natural Resources office in
neighboring Bangui town, Environmental Management Bureau, Forest Management
Services and the local government unit of Burgos will be going to Burgos any
time next week to check on the current situation.
Led by Forester Victor Dabalos of
CENRO Bangui, Mr. De los Reyes said the joint validation and inspection of the
on-going reinstatement works of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project commenced
on March 3 and lasted for at least three days.
According to Mr. De los Reyes, it
is best to conduct the inspection early while the contractor commissioned by
the EDC to implement the rehabilitation works is still there for them to make
necessary recommendations in terms of the company’s compliance to the approved
rehabilitation plan and prevent further environment degradation in the applied
area.
To date, the rehabilitation
activity is now approximately 70 percent finished.
