The Submitter asserts that since 1963 a limestone open-pit mine has been operating adjacent to the National Park of Sumidero Canyon (the "Canyon"). The Submitter further assert that in recent years the east face of the Canyon has been "severely damaged with cracks," allegedly due to the quarry operations.
The Submitter moreover asserts that several environmental and health impacts can be associated with the open-pit mining operations, including noise and air emissions beyond maximum permissible levels, harm to flora and fauna, and damage to the respiratory health of the nearby community of Ribera de Cahuaré.
