On 10 June and 10 July 2019 he made scheduled visits to Verter. The minutes mention 23 divers, none of them serious.

As a result of the inspection, an order was sent to the company on 16 September to document with 30 days that it has corrected these deficiencies or, if not, that it will take corrective measures shortly. In that order, the company is advised that these disorders may constitute an infringement and would be linked to the dossier of penalties.

Of these deviations, those requiring repair are as follows (the “mild” rating for these changes is, of course, from the Department of the Environment):

1.-The "light" transformation in the voluminous waste breakdown has not been reported.

2.- The "mild" transformation that has been carried out with the filling of lands in the right slope next to the void where the waste is deposited has not been reported.

3.- Does not receive or treat the gases produced in the landfill.

4.- Does not control surface water with the required frequency.

5.- Defects in surface and groundwater analysis reports: dissolved metals are measured and not all metals.

6.- In the discharge of water some unsignificant parameters (Waters of Gipuzkoa) are exceeded.

7.- In the leachate, a number of insignificant parameters are exceeded, downstream.

8.-Overcoming the limit of construction and demolition waste treated at the recovery plant.

9.-Overcoming RCDs in construction works.

10.-Accumulate outside empty butane cylinders, fire extinguishers and batteries.

11.- The disposal of some wastes without justified cause.

12.-Does not perform the basic characterization of the waste catalogued by the European Waste Law (LER) with the number 191212.

13.-Does not have a basic characterisation for certain residues admitted by the RSI in code XXXX99.

14.-Does not characterize the risk of residues with mirror input. Land and stones other than those mentioned in EHL 170504.

15.- Does not meet the classification requirements for the following recoverable waste: paper, cardboard, wood, plastics, packaging.

16.- The waterproofing fabrics of the left wing of the hole where the waste is deposited are broken.

17.- External concentration of hazardous waste (garrafas and graneles) together with hazardous waste.

18.- The holding of hazardous waste not included in the Integrated Environmental Authorisation. Electrical and electronic equipment LER 200123 and 200135.

* Arriola has not offered the accuracy of the remaining 5 errors. The Environment Department regards the following errors as minor, except one: 14.ª which consists in the existence of soils and rocks different from those specified by the code. Arriola does not specify which ones are found, which do not enter that code.

The company did not correct gases or pollution

On October 11, 2019, the company responded that all of these deviations were corrected except two: the collection and treatment of torch gases (methane must be burned in the Integrated Environmental Authorisation modified in 2013), as, being in place, more time is needed for its repair. Nor has the overrun of any level of discharge been corrected. Arriola does not give any explanation for the landfill and the level of landfill that was taking place.

On 4 November last the Environment Department issued a public inspection report in which a low level of compliance was imposed. According to Arriola, this rating was imposed by the high number of divers, not by the severity of one of them (remember that it has not yet reported 5).

The environmental inspectorate was preparing a dossier when the waste leap took place on 6 February. Arriola has indicated that he was responsible for this report on 14 February and that he will sign it. In this dossier of sanctions, the Inspectorate announces that a second dossier of sanctions is being prepared for the fall of the landfill in the Guipuzkoan locality.
