“Análisis y reforma de las obligaciones ambientales para Estaciones de Base Celular en el Ecuador”.

The development of technology makes necessary the implementation of Cellular Base Stations, to reach a quality service and to contemplate distant places where the service of a mobile operator exists. The Official Letter of the Ministry of the Environment No. MAE-SCA-2014-1223 dated May 27 issued the approved environmental management plan for cellular base stations in Ecuadorian territory. However, on March 1, 2023, the Ministry of the Environment signs a concurrent management agreement with the Cotopaxi Prefecture, which allows it to apply the regularization, control, and monitoring mechanisms on this activity. Therefore, we need to develop an analysis and reform of the environmental obligations for Cellular Base Stations in Ecuador. The present investigation evaluates the approved environmental management plan to improve it to current needs and submit it to the consideration of the Competent Environmental Authority. Through the application of a Leopold matrix, the recategorization of the environmental impacts and a new Environmental Management Plan is generated and proposed to the competent Environmental Authority. Due to the fact that 60% of the environmental impacts are of a non-significant nature and 90% of the activities proposed by the MAATE are improvable, an environmental management plan that includes 47 activities broken down into 13 sub-plans for the construction, operation, maintenance, closure, and abandonment phases were established. The applied Leopold matrix determined that the non-significant negative impacts are 65%, little significant negative impacts are 11%, significant negative impacts are 3%, insignificant positive impacts are 11%, and little and very significant positive impacts are Number 3%.
