>CONAMA APPROVES RALCO DAM WORK.
>
>The National Environmental Commission (Conama) has completed its report,
>begun in early March, into the Ralco Hydroelectric Company's construction
of
>a new reservoir in southern Chile, which the company is carrying out on
>behalf of Endesa Chile.
>
>The document said Ralco was "generally carrying out its work in accordance
>with the norms and requirements established by the environmental
authority."
>However, the report also lists some technical aspects that the company
could
>improve, such as a reduction in the dust emitted by machinery at the site.
>The report also asks Ralco to increase the number of social workers
>available to help indigenous Peheunche families, who were forced to leave
>their homes in order to allow work to begin on the reservoir.
>
>The report is aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the reservoir,
>which is one of the country's most significant hydroelectric projects.
>Developing the reservoir will cost an overall total of around US$500
>million.
