During her stay in Puebla, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, announced that she will not be at the inauguration of the governor, Alejandro Armenta Mier, because she will be in the South of the country for the Mayan Train and the Polytechnic of Palenque.
She took advantage of her stay in the state to congratulate Alejandro Armenta and announced that it will be a great government. “We are going to be a team with everything.”
Sanctions for textile companies
On the other hand, during the conference in the morning Sheinbaum Pardo warned that there will not only be sanctions against the textile industry in the states of Puebla and Tlaxcala that dump their untreated wastewater, but they will be forced to comply with the Mexican Standard 001 (NOM) to install their treatment plants.
She said that in these two states where the Atoyac River runs through: “there are many textile companies that use very polluting dyes, so all of that has to go through their treatment plants, they have to comply with the law, it is the so-called Rule of Law, and Profepa will act in each one of them.”
She explained that NOM001 requires companies, according to their characteristics, to have wastewater treatment plants to discharge into a national body of water.
“It is happening that many companies that are along the Atoyac River are not complying with the norm. It is not just a matter of fines, it is that they have to comply with the norm.”
She said that as part of the National Water Plan, tours are being conducted throughout the Atoyac River basin to identify the sources of contamination.
The president of Mexico added that the federal government is already in dialogue with businessmen and industrialists in the region, to find out why their treatment plants are not working and if they have them installed.
