Once the circumstances were determined, a report was issued to the responsible party for improper waste management, sent to the Waste Agency of Catalonia. The work of the Rural Agents aims to identify those responsible and ensure the restoration of affected areas.
The individual linked to the waste has communicated that they have initiated procedures for its removal through an authorized management company. Removal and cleaning tasks are scheduled for October 24th and 25th.
