One of the most common elements, appealed and mentioned in all EIAs for hydropower generation projects in the south is without doubt, the failure Liquiñe - Ofqui or FLO, a mega geological structure participates the length of the country from the Upper Valdivia to Aysén, although some scholars speak of continuity to the north beyond the heights of Lonquimay ...

Ofqui (FLO in what follows) comes from millennia conditioning the geomorphology of southern Chile, and since then threat, like his counterpart the San Andreas fault in North America, with continental splitting portions. All in a tenacious work of thousands of islands centuries to divide them.
Returning to that of their mention in the EIA of hydropower projects, there is talk of geological hazards in HydroAisen Puelo Neltume Liquiñe and initiatives that geographically distant several miles from each other. So if there is a constant in the presentations and drafts of the headlines, it is an irrepressible desire and therefore already confessed though - it is clear - although not purged penance pursued their references will not generate adverse responses to the conspicuous members of CONAMA and Coremas, which could jeopardize approval of EIAs in the instance of government sanction. For the same reason its mention in these assessment instruments is brief and fleeting, it tries to make his mark on plans and reports resulting from a really far away, clear of its lethality. All this has been reflected in force in each report on seismic risk of electrical projects.
In this discussion, another element that can not lose sight, regardless of the company concerned or affected and - of course - the quality and capacity of their teams is that the case of a national geological megastructure, whose outlines can be seen both from a space station in orbit and from a seat in the ferry across Lake Pirehueico, analysis of the situation can not escape the rigors of a technical report neat in its essence and truth. Hence, to study the same phenomenon, even for two different projects, whether these are located in contiguous geographical areas, but the respective areas of influence are overlapping, the conclusions should be approximately the same.
reviewed by both the presentations on e geology seismic risk of two projects shared abundantly in the area of \u200b\u200binterest and study, central and central Maqueo Neltume.
Maqueo was once the star of the hydroelectric project Transnational SN POWER. Their study submitted to the Environmental Corema Rivers Region, was twice purged from the evaluation process in response to neat little formulation.
As we are concerned, in Annex 5.1 on 5.2 on geology and seismic risk, the company Viking rush on the issue of FLO,
The main guideline of the FLO (LOFZ for the big boys of Trayenko) in the area , set in the base of the western escarpment of the complex Choshuenco Mocho, continuing its course north through the valley of Lake Neltume, presenting guidelines under the direction WE on the eastern edge of the lake, just where Endesa Enel wanted to build the underground powerhouse for central Neltume. Physical manifestations in the latter area are deep cuts in the rock basement. This guideline would have a continuous length of more than 130 miles, not less information about the magnitude of a possible earthquake of proportion to the length remains the guideline.
However, in studies of geology and seismic risk for central Neltume, there is no reference on this fault line, reported by men Maqueo. On Map Chile's geological Sernageomin 2000, set lines on the eastern edge of Lake Neltume, although not establishing the continuity stated in the study by Maqueo people. Other texts mention a 2 students of the subject in 1998 established the existence of this fault and that the time was known as Maihue - Neltume.
The reasons for this main line as mysteriously disappears from the geological maps of Endesa - Enel, the procedure should be laid down in environmental impact assessment of the Central Neltume. If there is missing information, the trial should be succinct summary and sentence. In the meantime we are left with an inescapable impression. Endesa technicians if they know the subject, breathe in the presence of FLO on each plane who make each equation to solve environmental and every lie, for consideration by CONAMA and Coremas, but prefer to play the role of juveniles sad that after dancing with a woman all night in some digs at second or third, greeting denied the next day.
FLO is there to transform your dreams of turbines and V, which implacable guardian. Will not serve the Central deploy a few hundred meters to the east. FLO will be there. ---
