The Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente (Sma) has filed two serious charges against the Antofagasta Municipality for handling the La Chimba ex-landfill, due to the lack of environmental evaluation in its recovery plan. The accusations stem from citizen complaints about illegal burns affecting health and the environment near the Reserva Nacional La Chimba. The municipality has deadlines to respond and claims it is already implementing remediation measures.
