The main problems detected and most common indicated in most records. This concludes that there are serious problems in implementing existing procedures and current technical tools, by both environmental consultants and the “Secretaría Técnica Nacional Ambiental” (SETENA). To this situation, the environmental management consultant geologist is not the exception, reason why, it is necessary that the above professionals mentioned are aware of the severe legal consequences involved.

Se indican los principales problemas detectados, comunes a la mayoría de los expedientes. Se concluye que existen serios problemas de aplicación de los procedimientos e instrumentos técnicos vigentes, tanto por parte de los consultores ambientales como de la misma Secretaría Técnica Nacional Ambiental (SETENA). A esta situación no escapa la gestión ambiental del geólogo consultor, razón por la cual, se hace necesario que dichos profesionales conozcan las serias consecuencias legales que ello implica. Finalmente, se plantean cinco soluciones clave para corregir y mejorar el grave problema de eficiencia que tiene el sistema de EIA, el cual ha llevado al país a una condición de desarrollo no sustentable.Universidad de Costa Rica2016-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/geologica/article/view/2707510.15517/rgac.v55i0.27075 Revista geológica de América central; Vol. 55 (2016): July-December Revista geológica de América central; Vol. 55 (2016): Julio-Diciembre2215-261X0256-7024reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/geologica/article/view/27075/27751Derechos de autor 2016 Revista Geológica de América Centralacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-13T01:09:41Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/27075Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:32:30.357Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
