DENUNCIAMOS:
Hace casi dos años denunciamos contaminación con carbón en . La Superintendencia aún no se pronuncia y no existe registro de nuestra denuncia debido a que es "reservada".
¡Sin embargo, la empresa dice tener los informes!

Mientra tanto, Mina Invierno solicitó al aumentar sus emisiones de material particulado sedimentable en más de 10 veces a lo establecido en la RCA y además actualmente “las autoridades están evaluando por tercera vez, -sin participación ciudadana y sin Estudio de Impacto Ambiental- la incorporación de Tronaduras (explosivos) para la extracción de carbón de Mina Invierno en Isla Riesco.

Ante esta situación, enviamos carta a autoridades regionales y nacionales solicitando se oficie a la Superintendencia de Medio Ambiente por no cumplir con su objetivo de “proteger el medio ambiente y la salud de las personas, asegurando el cumplimiento de la normativa ambiental”.

Igneous intrusions form when magma cools and solidifies before it reaches the surface.Three common types of intrusion are sills, d***s, and batholiths.
D***s are formed when molten rock is forced through cracks in a pre-existing formation and eventually cools to form a cross-cutting, sheet-like feature in 3 dimensions.
If the same molten rock is forced between the beds of a sedimentary formation it would be called a Sill, although every other property would be the same as a d**e of the same composition. D***s are frequently formed by multiple injections into the same system of cracks to create a composite structure, and it is generally held that repeated intrusion along the mid-ocean ridges to form a Sheeted D**e complex responsible for the growth of the oceanic plates
