Factory Reopens After Charges of Killing Swans (875 words)
SANTIAGO - The imminent reopening of a cellulose factory that contaminated a nature sanctuary in Chile is deepening the criticisms that ecologists have for the Ricardo Lagos government -- and is setting the scene for future conflicts with indigenous and artisanal fishing communities.
José Araya, leader of the organization Action for the Swans of Valdivia, told Tierramérica that the government's administrative resolutions on the matter favored the businessman Anacleto Angelini, owner of the Celulosa Arauco y Constitución (Celco) plant, to the detriment of environmental standards.
The Angelini group wants to divert the Celco wastewater to the ocean because it is the cheapest option, as the channel would cost 45 million dollars, while the construction of a closed circuit for eliminating the waste in the factory itself would cost 120 million dollars, said the indigenous leader.
