The report prepared by the departments of Environmental Sustainability and Natural Heritage of the Provincial Council of Álava is exhaustive, detailed and forceful (here you can see the full PDF). Amaia Barredo Martín sent Pedro Rodríguez Díaz on 14 June: Barredo was then a member of the Department of Sustainability, Agriculture and Natural Environment of the Provincial Council of Álava and Rodríguez, a member of the Álava delegation of the Industrial Administration of the Basque Government. Ten days after the report was sent, on 24 June, Amaia Barredo became Basque Government Minister for Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries.

Although the "Laminoria" project involves a wind and photovoltaic power plant, the report of the Alavesa Provincial Council points out that environmental impacts must be measured in a differentiated way, since the consequences of each of them will be very different.

In addition, the report warns that the other project presented by Aixeindar to the Basque Government, the Azazeta wind plant, will be "close" to this Laminoria project, 2.4 km away, and this must be taken into account when analysing each project and its effects on the environment.

However, its conclusion is firm, regardless of whether or not the Azazeta plant was built, on the damage that the exclusive construction of the Laminoria plant would have: the environmental impacts generated by the wind power plant would not be admissible, as they would be "critical" for birds and chamarras classified as "threatened", for the Ecological Connectivity between the spaces of the Natura 2000 network and for the "Community Habitats".

It assesses differently the impact of the Laminoria PV plant: He says that he would be "acceptable magnifier", as this field is already maneuvered (quarry in recovery phase). It points out, however, that the specific location of the company Aixeindar should be reviewed in order to ensure that it meets the restoration tasks as adequately as possible, and that the company should take action in the environment to compensate for the damage caused.

Impact on birds and frames

The report of the Provincial Council of Álava points out that this area is a transitional zone between the Alavesa Mountain and the Llanada and is very suitable for the nesting of birds and the search for food. It argues that the presence of many threatened birds is ensured by: The MITERD has detected 122 species (Ministry of Spain, Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge). 40% of these species are threatened, according to the Basque Catalogue of Endangered Species.

The Xaguzar species counted are at least 20, which accounts for more than 75% of the Xaguzar species in the CAPV as a whole.

The report notes that the report submitted by the company Aixeindar on birds in the area has been very short: "The developer has only identified 40% of the birds who are sure to have a presence there, we believe that the effort he has made has not been enough." But the report of the Provincial Council of Álava states that the company Aixeindar itself accepts: "In the same study that the promoter has presented on birds, it is concluded that, even if measures are taken to protect, correct and compensate them, the interruption of the ecological corridor, especially in Laminoria, would be difficult to soften".

On 20 October the "day of resistance" was celebrated through a mountain march to the mountains of Iturrieta and Vitoria-Gasteiz convened by Arabako Mendia Aske.
