Looking for information on the purpose/names owner(s) of a very large construction project on a lot that is maybe 60 to 80,000 square meters which has been undergoing extensive dirt work and filling since early November. The plot has an excellent view of the Bay and several spots of the ocean.
Says privado on gate, project is large enough to have its own gravel crusher, several multi axle large 10 meter trucks, front end loaders etc.
Its located on La Calle Viejo de la Union between Las Mesas and Seis de enero. they cut down one extremely large parotta tree and hacked back two others. Project is constantly creating large amounts of dust with apparently no regard for the neighbors. Would like to see owners be required to use a water truck to reduce the health hazard and nuisance they are creating.

Is it the new PRD HQ?

80,000 M2 is about 20 acres. That's one large lot!!

The "prizes" distributed among the political actors who helped with the theft and regularización of our ecological zones are substantial.

The project is being built by serious money, maybe cartel but not PRD or ?
BTW one hectare 10,000 square meters = 2.47 acres , maybe my guesstimate is off by 2 or 3 acres but come look for yourself, its very large, at least 10 acres totaL.
While looking , note all the equipment that is collected, seems strange there is no requirement to mitigate the dust clouds being created. Sometimes the work occurs on Sunday.
I feel bad for the more immediate neighbors but being approx. 1/3 mile away, I am occasionally visited by clouds of dust that could easily be tamed by a water truck.
What local gov't agency would address such a complaint?

Just call the switchboard and tell them. Ecología is one department that should have jurisdiction. Also Salúd. And possibly the one we know as Reglamentos but has such a difficult-to-remember name that no one remembers it.
Dust Mitigation

I hope you find whom to complain to.
We had an acquaintance talk to us about the dust from the Sotovento demolition causing serious lung issues at Preciosas last week.
Her sister lives there and was hospitalized for 5 days starting last Friday, due to the crap in her lungs that the doctors determined was dust from the demolition of a building.
When we paddle in the morning, we are in the bay when the jackhammers start at Sotovento. The dust clouds are amazing.
We had planned on trying some new things, like breakfast at Embarc for the view, and we are told, the food. That is not going to happen for us until the dust settles.
Fortunately, we live just far enough away that we don't hear or are affected by the dust.

Gee, it sounds like maybe some health officials might be unaware that they aren’t doing their job.
¡Ubiquémosnos!

If knew where to start I would get one or two neighbors to join me in complaining. I don't know where to start on this, but it would be so easy given the financial resources they obviously have to use a water truck a few times a day.
I am hoping they run out of pesos until the rainy season!
