Parla and the River Basin Tejo information about stream channelization works Humanejos that had begun some months ago in the lower stretch of the same, just off Park Communities of Spain. specifically require the following information:
1. Project sponsor.
2. Reasons for channeling.
3. Type of channeling (piping, paving, etc.)..
4. Total distance of channeling and channel sections affected.

4. Total distance of channeling and channel sections affected.
5. If there is approval by both Hydrological Confederation of the Tagus and the City Council of the European Parliament to carry out the project.
6. If there environmental impact assessment of the project.
7. If there has been public information period.
Despite the time elapsed, and the duty of these agencies in providing such information, under the EU Directive 2003/4/EC of 28 January concerning public access to environmental information, and Law 27/2006 of 18 July, regulating the rights of access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental matters, this has not yet been provided, illegally denying information to which any person is entitled.
response to questions made in the application, no wonder the refusal to provide such information as the channelization project, as we reported in the Ministry of Environment, Housing and Planning, is being carried out without performing the perceptual study environmental impact, which requires the Law 2 / 2002 of June 19, Environmental Assessment of the Community of Madrid. This in Annex II on projects and activities required submission to the environmental impact assessment in the Comunidad de Madrid referred to in paragraph 80. "Any activity that requires, use or pour more than 250 cubic meters of water daily average, excluding operation and management of supplies and agricultural uses, which is not included in other sections of this Annex. " A town like Parla, which in 2008 reached a population of 108,051 inhabitants, which is pouring into the stream Humanejos its wastewater for more than two decades, far exceeds the figure of 250 cubic meters of wastewater daily average.
Annex III on projects and activities required submission to the environmental impact assessment in the Comunidad de Madrid, lists in paragraph 41., The "wastewater pipelines located outside of urban areas over a km in length, or any length when streams flow by spaces included in Annex sixth. "With a work of channeling more than two meters deep, which is actually intended to steer the entire stream bed above, which are over five kilometers, with the purpose of landscaping its surroundings, eliminating the open channel, the final destination for municipal sewage.
Annex VI relating to special areas, mentioned in paragraph d. "The areas declared under the European Community Directives 79/409 on the conservation of wild birds and 92/43 on the conservation of natural habitats and wildlife."
The stream segment Humanejos affected by this channeling houses two habitats of Community interest under flowing Mediterranean rivers intermittent Paspalo-Agrostidion and wet meadows of the Mediterranean tall-Holoschoenion Molinion , so these habitats to be protected Community Directive 92/43, has been breached paragraph 41. Annex III.
The stream segment Humanejos affected by this channeling houses two habitats of Community interest under flowing Mediterranean rivers intermittent Paspalo-Agrostidion and wet meadows of the Mediterranean tall-Holoschoenion Molinion , so these habitats to be protected Community Directive 92/43, has been breached paragraph 41. Annex III.
These habitats are used by various species of waterfowl, such as white stork (Ciconia ciconia), mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) , redfish common (Gallinula chloropus) , low girl snipe (Lymnocryptes minimus) , the larger sandpipers, (Tringa ochropus) Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) the warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) the Cetti (Cettia Cetti) the Buitrón (Cisticola juncidis) etc., which have been seriously affected by the channel have been altered, disappearing a large area of \u200b\u200btheir habitats, although most of these species are listed in the National Catalogue of Species threatened.
Apparently for City of Parla, the riverbeds of the municipality no value ecological one, as it seeks its demise burying their banks for the purpose of landscaping.
Examples are the first two pictures, collecting the works of piping and disappearance of the Dehesilla stream, passing through the Parque de la Dehesa de Parla Boyal in June 2008. The third lists the last days of the course of this stream.
We demand that the required information is not retained for longer, to be entitled to it.
This refusal to provide such information, prevent us from pursuing our advocacy and natural heritage conservation, which should be a constant among policy makers, to be among its responsibilities the conservation of nature and not sabotage the work of environmental organizations that only want to preserve nature.
