A note from the UN Committee studying the viability of installing a cement plant near the perimeter of the Los Haitises National Park says that the complexity of the multidisciplinary focus by the five entities involved and the analysis of the large volume of information will cause further delays in the delivery of the report. The conclusions will now not be available until the end of November. The UN initially announced that it would be available in September.
A total of 550 Dominicans have taken part in the process in some way or another, while the committee has had to review 73 documents and 150 bibliographical references.
Hoy reports that there have been rumors that the report has actually been completed and that it is recommending against the installation.
Ministry of Environment officials initially rejected the proposed installation by the Consorcio Minero Dominicano, but this was overruled. Environment Minister Jaime David Fernandez said that President Leonel Fernandez himself had chosen the site.
