WORKING WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND
COMMITMENT
operations are managed opportunely and in accordance with
PERU LNG standards and procedures, as well as to contribute
to the process of continual improvement.
MONITORING GUARANTEES COMPLIANCE WITH THE
HIGHEST INDUSTRY STANDARDS
In seeking to guarantee compliance with the highest industry
standards, PERU LNG has three environmental monitoring
programs:
• MONITORING DISCHARGES AND EMISSIONS
• ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF RECEIVING WATER
BODIES
• BIODIVERSITY MONITORING
The environmental monitoring programs gather information
on the effects that PERU LNG's operations may have on the
environment, as well as mitigating any environmental effects
and preserving the nature of its areas of influence. To achieve
this objective the company has approximately 182 monitoring
stations, at which 1 624 parameters are sampled; additional
monitoring is also carried out on dredging operations in the
entrance channel to the port facility, while soil and river water
samples are taken from the area adjacent to the pipeline.
During 2021, despite the state of emergency declared by
the Peruvian government in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, the corresponding protocols allowed us to
continue and comply with programmed environmental
monitoring activities.
An exception was ballast water sampling from methane
tankers, which was not renewed in 2021 because of
pandemic-related access restrictions. Monitoring of
discharges and emissions includes domestic and industrial
effluent, ballast water from methane tankers, noise and
gaseous emissions from fixed sources.
The monitoring points for discharges and emissions also
monitor air quality, sea water and marine sediment quality
and soil quality.
In addition to these controls, two participatory monitoring
campaigns of the marine ecosystem were conducted with
representatives of fishermen's associations, as well as two
evaluations of coastal morphology on eight kilometres of
beaches, to assess changes in the coastline adjacent to the
port facility.
IN 2021 ALL MONITORING
RESULTS MET THE
ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS ADOPTED BY
PERU LNG.
