Grupo México does not get out of one problem when it enters another; In recent years it has suffered several incidents causing environmental damage around its mining complexes. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has accused the company on several occasions of not meeting the requirements of the Mining Fund and even revived the controversy over responsibility for those who died in the Pasta de Conchos mine.
This company has now incurred a new episode due to a sulfuric acid spill in the Sonora River, an accident that it initially tried to handle with a low profile until a video on social networks caused a stir when a large amount of acid was seen escaping from its pipes.
The corporation reported that a leak of 3 thousand France Mobile Number List liters of sulfuric acid occurred in its facilities of the Comprehensive Port Administration of Guaymas (Apiguay), an environmental accident that occurs almost five years after Grupo México dumped 40 thousand cubic meters of acids and metals into the River. Sonora.
However, Grupo México's media reaction was once again repetitive and brief, without officially facing society and only reacting with a paid advertisement in the press.
The business statement details that “the failure of a valve caused the release of sulfuric acid,” but that the situation is now under control, arguing that only 3 cubic meters of acid were released from a tank that received purges from the shipping lines. “Since yesterday, the acid has been transferred from the container to a pipe. “Work is already underway to neutralize the solution.”
The incident was at the Guaymas Maritime Terminal, owned by Metalúrgica de Cobre, which involved the discharge of sulfuric acid.
Grupo México indicated that it notified the Marine Secretariat, which determined that it was not necessary to activate the emergency plan. “We have been in communication with the environmental authority and we will continue to do so until the conclusion of the necessary measures to provide comprehensive care, giving formal notice to the corresponding authorities.”
ExpokNews consulted the corporate communications area of Grupo México to deepen the information on the subject, obtaining a brief response that the position would be expanded until further notice.
President López Obrador indicated that the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) will carry out an investigation into the case and possible damages that may arise will be evaluated.
The fact is that once again a metallurgical subsidiary of Grupo México once again committed toxic spills, damaging the environment, into the waters of Guaymas, Sonora.
Five years ago, 40 thousand cubic meters of sulfuric acid were spilled into the Sonora and Bacanuchi Rivers; The waters and lands of seven coastal municipalities of Sonora have not yet recovered from the effects of pollution on their health, while the inhabitants continue to be affected by their family finances and continue to suffer from the inaction of the Mining Fund.
